A Resolution authorizing a design services agreement between the City of Decatur and URS <br /> Corporation to perform the final design for the replacement of the South Shores Bridge over <br /> Sand Creek for a fee not to exceed $219,200. <br /> 2. A Resolution appropriating $219,200 in Motor Fuel Tax(MFT) funds to pay for the design <br /> services agreement with URS Corporation to complete the final design for the replacement <br /> of the South Shores Bridge over Sand Creek. <br /> The Sanitary District of Decatur will reimburse the City approximately$50,000 of the design costs <br /> related to raising the District's interceptor. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> • August 2, 2004—Council approved Resolution R2004-115 authorizing an Agreement with <br /> Homer L. Chastain&Associates (Chastain) to inspect five precast concrete deck bridges, <br /> including South Shores/ Sand Creek, for a fee not to exceed $7,965. <br /> • April 20, 2009—Council approved Resolution R2009-50 authorizing an agreement with <br /> URS Corporation to complete a preliminary design of the South Shores Bridge over the <br /> Sand Creek Arm of Lake Decatur at a cost of$77,500. <br /> • September 20, 2010—The City Council, in study session, recommended increasing the <br /> bridge clearance by approximately 3 feet to provide better access for Sand Creek Basin <br /> boaters. This stemmed from a public meeting held on April 28, 2010, to present the <br /> preliminary design and receive public input. Area residents voiced concern regarding the <br /> limited clearance for boats under the bridge and requested that the bridge be raised to <br /> provide more clearance. <br /> Page 1 <br />
