Subject: Menominee River Bridge Summary - Project No. 751/15276.JBB

Design and planning for the reconstruction of the Menominee River Bridge began moving forward in 2016. The bridge Engineering and Design contract is with OHM Advisors. In September of 2016 an Opinion of Probable Construction Cost was presented. The total construction cost estimate was, at that time, $1,304,710.00 to which an additional 18% +/- would need to be added for project administration. That would have placed the total project costs around 1.5M.

As design work continued the existing bridge railing was found to be unsafe and the options of closing or repairing were presented. The full funding had not yet been secured by either state and the repair option was determined to be the best option. That design and construction occurred in 2017 with construction project costs of $45,250 plus additional costs for design and Construction Administration.

Between June and October of 2017, the Wisconsin DNR awarded three grants to Florence County Forestry and Parks Department totaling $480,000.

As this project was preparing to release bids the team discussed the work scope and decided that based on the current funding and type of work that it made the most sense to break the project into two Phases (Phase 1 – trestle deck, Phase 2 abutment repairs).

Bids have been received for Phase 1 and the full project cost (original design, emergency railing repairs, Phase 1 construction, all administrative and oversight fees) have been determined. The costs for Phase 2 are based off an updated construction estimate.

Current cost summary for the Menominee River Bridge: Phase 1 Phase 2 Total Project Projection

$ 1,154,570 *actual $ 267,004 *estimated $ 1,421,574 ($710,787 50% cost share)

**It should be noted that this projected cost in 2020/21 is still below the estimated amount presented in 2016 prior to the emergency work.

To date the State of Wisconsin has committed $480,000 and the State of Michigan $629,000

Florence has rcvd $479,956 in grant funds to date. Seeking additional $230,831 in additional funds ($115,415.50 each from ATV and Snowmobile) for Wisconsin's share of the bridge.

Florence County Forestry and Parks Department

Project: US2 Railroad Corridor, Menominee River Bridge

The Florence County Forestry and Parks Department in conjunction with the Michigan DNR proposes to replace the deck and repair the structure on a 392' bridge in the Town of Florence, Wisconsin.

The structure that is in place is an old Railroad Bridge. While the substructure of the bridge is in

relatively good shape there are areas that are in need of repair for continued long term use of the

bridge. The Michigan DNR has hired an engineering firm to design an upgrade to the current design.

We are proposing to remove the existing ties, decking and railing and replace with a steel/wood bridge

deck and railing. Other items in need of repair are the abutments, piers, and wing walls. The abutments

and piers are in need of tuck pointing, the center pier (in the River) is in need of tuck point below the

water line.

Enclosed in this application is the engineering design and cost estimate. Also enclosed are all of the

associated agreements with the Wisconsin DOT and Michigan DNR for work on the bridge and trail.

In 2014, Florence County Received a grant through the Snowmobile program to repair the railings and

decking on this bridge. In reviewing this bridge with the Michigan DNR it became apparent that the

bridge was in need of many more improvements. The grant was S-4384 for $22,740. This grant could

either be turned back to the snowmobile program or reissued to the full amount needed to complete

this project.

The US2 Railroad Grade trail is a highly used trail for snowmobiles. In 2017, this bridge will be open for

ATV use. This bridge will allow for interstate travel from Florence, WI into Iron Mountain, Michigan.

The Michigan DNR has routes through Iron Mountain to connect to other trails throughout the Upper

Peninsula.

A Michigan Engineering firm provided a design and cost estimate of $959,910.00 to remove the bridge

deck, and repair the super structure. This price includes labor, equipment, and materials. We are asking

for $45,000 from RTA, and $217,477.50 from the ATV program and $217,477.50 from the snowmobile program.

The superstructure of the bridge is in need of repairs as well. Tuck pointing mortar joints and repairs of theapproaches on both sides of the bridge are also needed. We received a snowmobile grant for repairs to the decking andrailings however, the costs were much more than the grant and the grant was not used.

Attachment to A TV Grant Application

The DNR will not fund any A TV projects located near or crossing a waterway or wetland, unless the required documentation listed below and the checklist on the reverse side is provided with the application. This must be completed for the following ATV grant applications:

• Bridge/Trail Rehabilitation• NewBridge• Trail Relocations (mandatory and discretionmy)• New Miles (all seasons)

The required documentation is:

¢Digitized topographic map of trail with bridge/culvert, waterway, wetland location(s), and project boundary identified (include an electronic copy if any archaeological/historical concerns are found) [Map scale should be no more than 4 sections per 8.5"x 11" map page]

IX[ Aerial photograph of trail with bridge/culvert, waterway, and wetland location(s) identified [Map scale should be no Il)9re than 4 secti

o?§ per 8.5"xl I" map page]!£l.Name of waterway(s) t!1 i'vt.aMr'<,0- ll:;\,cg ,.,...-��otograph of bridge/culvert crossing location(s) from upstream, downstream, and from both

directions across the structure.

Instructions:

The applicant is required to consult the information sources listed on the reverse side to answer the filter questions. Do not contact DNR staff for navigability or wetland detem1inations as part of completing this application. DNR staff will be reviewing all grant applications to verify that wetlands and navigability criteria are met, and to identify any permit requirements.

If you answered YES to either of the Resource Questions on the reverse side, your project may require a waterway, wetland or stormwater permit from DNR. Trail projects should be designed to avoid wetland impacts wherever possible. Alternatives that will avoid or minimize wetland impacts should be considered during the planning process, such as alternate routes or boardwalk design. If wetland impacts are unavoidable, you will be required to provide additional information during permit review about affected water resources, wetland boundaries, alternatives that were considered and why wetland impacts are unavoidable. If your project was approved by the ORV Council, the grant will NOT be written until all required permits have been applied for and approved by DNR staff.

If you answered NO to the Resource Questions on the reverse side and DNR staff confirm this inforn1ation, grants may be written as soon as an internal review is completed by staff, and all additional questions are answered.

The attachments identified above should accompany your ATV Application ( due April 15). If documentation requested below is already being requested on another form for the same project, you only need to provide it one time. If you have questions regarding these requirements, contact your regional CSS.

Please provide a separate application and attachment for each project.
