2 40 th Avenue N Bridge 34 th Avenue NE Storm Drainage Improvements Resiliency Planning Continued Maintenance

3 40 th Avenue Bridge 1960 Bridge was constructed, and widened in 1991 Bridges inspected on a Bi-Annual Cycle by State Transportation Department (FDOT) 07/20/11 FDOT Bi-Annual Inspection Sufficiency rating 78.5% (Scale of 0-100%) Nation Bridge Index (NBI scale of 0-9) Superstructure 6 (satisfactory) Substructure 5 (fair) 07/29/13 FDOT Bi-Annual Inspection Sufficiency rating 79.5% (Scale of 0-100%) Nation Bridge Index (NBI scale of 0-9) Superstructure 6 (satisfactory) Substructure 5 (fair) 07/31/15 - FDOT Bi-Annual Inspection Sufficiency rating 72.7% (Scale of 0-100%) Nation Bridge Index (NBI) Superstructure 6 (satisfactory) Substructure 5 (fair)

4 40 th Avenue Bridge (Sufficiency Rating) Sufficiency Rating (SR), as defined in the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation s Bridges SR of 80 or below - Rehabilitation SR of 50 or below Replacement SR (2011) 78.5% SR (2013) 79.5% SR (2015) 72.7%

5 40 th Avenue Bridge (National Bridge Index Number) Structural Deficient - Defined by 23 CRF 650 D Code of Federal Regulation Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program Deck, Superstructure, Substructure or Culvert 4 or less Structural Condition and/or Waterway Adequacy 2 or less Very low inventory load rating and bridge requires replacement Frequent flooding that causes traffic delays Structural Deficient does not necessarily mean unsafe! When found to be structurally deficient, FDOT recommends that a bridge should be scheduled to undergo a series of repairs or replacement within six (6) years. 2011, 2013 & Superstructure was rated at 6 (Satisfactory) Substructure was rated at 5 (Fair) NOT considered structurally deficient based on biannual FDOT inspections.

6 40 th Avenue Bridge (National Bridge Index Number) Functionally Obselete- Defined by 23 CRF 650 D Code of Federal Regulation Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program Deck Geometry, Underclearances, Approach Roadway Alignment 3 or less Structural Condition and/or Waterway Adequacy - 3 The bridge does not meet current road design standards. For example, some bridges are "functionally obsolete" because they were built at a time when lane widths were narrower than the current standard. 2011, 2013 & Superstructure was rated at 6 (Satisfactory) Substructure was rated at 5 (Fair) NOT considered functionally obsolete based on biannual FDOT inspections.

7 40 th Avenue Bridge In February 2016, an independent study prioritized bridges within the City for replacement within the next ten (10) years. This bridge, based on its condition assessments was not ranked as in need of replacement. Based on FDOT Inspections Bridge was scheduled for maintenance/rehabilitation repairs 08/07/17 Initiated maintenance on concrete spall repair 08/10/17 Requested follow up inspection due to extensive corrosion uncovered after spalled concrete was removed 08/11/17 Bridge closure to create alternate traffic flow Original portion of center span demonstrated extensive corrosion 08/12/17 FDOT re-inspected the structure due to subsurface conditions and will revise the biannual inspection report In summary, industry standard practices followed by the FDOT and the City did not reveal, what we were able to observe during the removal of loose, degraded concrete, which exposed the extent of the corrosion.

9 40 th Avenue Bridge

10 40 th Avenue Bridge Proposed Alternate traffic pattern would allow indepth inspection of corroded sections to determine repair feasibility

11 40 th Avenue Bridge Saltwater penetration into voids resulting in corrosion of reinforcement Proposed Continue discussions with FDOT to place structure on their list for replacement

12 34 th Avenue NE Storm Drainage Improvements Joint Project between the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) and the City of St. Petersburg to reduce flooding and increased water quality. 08/10/17 Pre-Bid Meeting 08/29/17 Deadline for Bids 10/17 - Contract Award 11/17 - Contract Execution 12/17 - Construction Start (210 Days) 07/18 - Construction Complete

13 Resiliency Planning Included in the City s Proposed Budget for FY 18 Task Force Committee comprising of City Staff from: Office of Sustainability Engineering & Capital Improvements Stormwater, Pavement & Traffic Operations Legal Economic Development Codes Building Permitting Risk Management

14 Resiliency Planning Will be coordinated with the Pinellas County Integrated Sustainability Action Plan Task Force will work to identify elements of the Scope of Work for an Architect/Engineer firm: Revision to ordinances Design policies and procedures City Standards for construction To be used to address: Sunny day flooding due to high tide Adjusting street and gutter elevations Finish seawall elevations
