Purpose & Explanation
The State of Ohio is providing a new funding program to perform bridge inspections and other services on Municipal bridges within the City of Hudson, Ohio at no charge to the city.
The program services include, but are not limited to, scour assessment tasks, bridge load rating tasks, structure inventory and review, inspection procedures, bridge inspections, and fracture critical plan development as identified within PID 97103 by the State of Ohio Department of Transportation.
The State of Ohio shall assume and bear 100% of all the cost for the Bridge Inspection Program (PID 97103) requested by the City and agreed to by the State of Ohio. Eligible bridge inspection services are described in the scope of services within Exhibit A (attached).
The City of Hudson as local public agency (LPA) agrees to pay 100% of the cost of those items which are not included in the attached Exhibit A. However, we believe we will not need additional inspection services outside of the scope of services that are provided, hence no additional cost to the City. Please note, the City normally spends $9,000 for the bridge inspections.
The LPA agrees that all right-of-way required for the described project will be made available in accordance with current State and Federal regulations.

Upon authorization to proceed by the City Council, the administration will enter into an agreement with ODOT to perform the above work.
