Speakers regarding Bob Dirmnitt, Corps of Engineers and Rick Worrel, Affinis were
the W. Platte Bridge present to listen to comments and answer questions regarding the
West. Platte Bridge project.
Public Speakers Jim Burch, 4902 NW Hillside said he was disappointed with the
Boazd's decision. His business is on W. Platte and feels the levee
is a problem as this was a thoroughfare and now is a dead end road.
Mr. Burch feels this devaluated his property and says there was not
a good reason to remove the existing bridge and the removal of the
bridge has caused traffic problems on NW Gateway. Mr. Burch
said the assessment on business property is more than the cost of flood
insurance. He said he doesn't want the L-385 to "wreck" that end of
the city. Mr. Burch would like the bridge project finished.
Harry Boggess, Liberty, Mo owns four different pazcels in the city.
One of the businesses is on 2800 W. Platte Road. H said this is a signi-
ficant impact on his business this yeaz, tens of thousands of dollars.
He's appalled the project has been canceled and would like the bridge to be put
back and the stop log gap. Mr. Boggess says he's happy the levee is here.
Mr. Boggess said Public Safety needs a second way to get to Red-X and
other businesses on the other end of town. This has presented quite a traffic
problem
Bob Dimwit said the stop log gate could be put in place then bid out the bridge
Piers and the bridge. There is a cost to take out the rip-rap.
Rick Wonel said the project is ninety-eight percent (98%) complete for the
bridge design. This would be ready to go out for bid in August.
Nova Lorenzen, Rivermont Apartments said this action has increased their
vacancies. Mrs. Lorenzen said she had not been visited by anyone regazding
the bridge. She feels there is safety issues, with only one way in and out.
Mitchell Burch, 4930 NW High Drive says if the bridge is finished it can be
used for several years. He said we don't want to wait three to five years for
another bridge and spend a lot more dollars.
It was stated a bridge should be built over the levee and maintain
access to this end of town and Indian Hills. It was also stated the apartment and
nursing home residents are important, too.
Mayor Burch recommends going ahead with the W. Platte Bridge project and
does not agree with the board's decision to terminate the design contract with
the city and Affmis Corporation. Mayor Burch does not agree with temrinating
the stop log agreement with the city, Corps of Engineers and the Levee District.
Minn. 7/20/04 2
A resident at Choteau D'Mons asked "Is there really going to be a bridge?"
Alderman Looker said, "yes". Mayor Burch said it would take 3-5 years.
Ray Eaton, Jerry's Collision,. 4124 Riverside Street said he can't wait 5 years
for a new bridge. His mother lives at Windemere and their needs to be two
ways in and out.
Rick Tumer, 4707 NW High Drive said the city should let ESI put in the stop
log gap and believes the contractor could do all of the project in one package,
the piers and stop log gate.
Alderman Dazata said there is a cost concern of $2.5 million. If the city had
some assurance from the levee boazd the cost would stay within the $2.5
million, the board would have agreed to continue with the project.
Bob Dimmitt said the cost was negotiated with the contractor, but something
unlmown can come along, concrete yazdage etc. ESI's estimate is a negotiated
cost that was given to the Corps of Engineers. The stop log gap is a negotiated
price.
Rick Worrel, Affinis said the up and over would cost $3-3.5 million to place
the bridge at the same location. It is important to have the stop log closure and
bridge in sequence. The levee board's contractor would do the foundation
system. Rick said to answer Ron's question who's responsibility would it be if
all didn't fit together? The responsibility would be on separate contractors. ESI
would have the surveyor complete the foundation. It would have to be
detemuned who did the damage if the stop log piles were damaged.
The estimate to continue with the stop log gap is $871,190.00. Mayor Burch
recommends going ahead with the stop log gap since $565,000 has already been
spent by the city.
Aldermen Burris and Looker said there is too much of a cost increase.
Alderman Darata said she's concerned about the costs, but realizes the bridge is
needed.
Alderman Legaard said she's concemed about the costs, but said the bridge is
needed and doesn't want sub contractors to do the work.
Alderman Beard said he wants a bridge to serve both sides of the city and the
bridge to go over the levee.
Alderman Super said no matter where the bridge is placed, it should serve
everyone. He is concerned that there is no firm cost on what the bridge is going
to cost.
