2010 Bond Issuance for Bridges
ATRIP ProgramSlide3Slide4
In 2010, the Lee County Commission issued approximately $8.0 Million in Bonds for the purpose of replacing aging bridge structures in Lee County.
15 structures were originally selected to be replaced using these funds.
8 were completed with Lee County performing our own approach work before ATRIP was announced.
Bond Issuance for Bridges
Slide5Slide6
The ATRIP Program was announced and Lee County focused on resurfacing for the first two rounds.
Round 3 we decided to utilize our bond funds to expand the impact we could have on our bridges.
Awarded 15 bridges in Round 3.
ATRIP Slide7Slide8
Lee County committed to use our bond funds for design, right-of-way and all approach work to be performed by the county.
ATRIP was asked to fund 80% of the structure only.
Our Division expressed concerns about the County performing our own work and did not want to allow it.
ALDOT and PolicySlide9
However, in just six (6) months, working with IP Bureau, County Transportation and the ACEA, a policy was established to satisfy ALDOT about the logistics of Lee County and the contractors working on the same project and handling the traffic control and erosion and sediment control from start to finish.
ALDOT and Policy Slide10
Meanwhile, ALDOT restructured its Divisions into Regions and Lee County was transferred to the Montgomery Area of the Southeast Region.
So, our first bridge project was planned under one Division with construction and final closeout administered by the new Region under a new policy.
