RE: EM-BR 54/41A Flood Repairs—FHWA Time Extension Memo 3-05-2014
Weld County is requesting a time extension related to the completion of emergency flood repairs at this
site. In the months following the flood in 2013, the County sent work crews to this site to construct
emergency flood repairs required to get the roadway(WCR 54) reopened to traffic. During that
construction effort,the water in the South Platte River was still very high and the work crews were limited
to working only in areas outside of the flowing river. Inspections for the bridge structure could not be
completed due to the high water at that time.
The County has hired a design consultant to investigate and design additional emergency repairs at this
site. The river water elevations are still considerably high but low enough to facilitate inspection,
surveying, and engineering emergency design at the site. As a result of these recent design efforts, the
consultant has recommended additional emergency flood repair work to help ensure the integrity of the site
and to help avoid the additional flood damages which could result in road closure. The County is
preparing to contract out these recommended repairs prior to Spring runoff peak flow in the South Platte
River.
Given this current condition, the County requires adequate time to complete the design,bidding, and
construction of emergency flood repairs at this site.
