DATE: OCTOBER 24, 2005 BACKGROUND: The Local Bridge Seismic Safety Retrofit Program (LSSRP) is a part of the statewideSeismic Safety Retrofit Program (SSR). Various bridges within the City of Colton were identified to need retrofitting by the State Department of California and designated as eligible SSR Program `Category 1 Bridges;' in a seismic event these bridges could potentially be a threat to public safety. The improvements needed to circumvent possible threats to public safety posed by these bridges would be fimded 80% by federal funds and 20% by state funds. The La Cadena Bridge, Bridge No. 54C0077, was identified as one of the `Category 1 Bridges' located within the City, this bridge is located 1.5 miles south of the I-10 spanning the Santa Ana River. ANALYSIS/DIS CUS SION: Bridge 54CO077 has a large steel plate located in the north bound second lane. This steel plate was placed on the bridge several years ago to cover a hole in the bridge platform. Over the years, the pavement around the plate has eroded. This steel plate needs to be removed and the damages repaired as noted on Caltrans' inspection report dated March 23, 2005. Other recommendations listed on Caltrans' report include: repairing the hit at the northbound approach barrier, spot blasting, surface cleaning, painting the rusted and corroded steel girders and bent caps, and restoring the protective top coat at the remaining girders. Kaveh Engineering has completed a cost estimate concluding that the needed improvements recommended by Caltrans will total $65,600. Repairs to this bridge will be awarded in accordance to the California Public Contract Code, asit applies to this project, referenced and incorporated in the City's Municipal Code Section 3.08.050 (b) and 3.08. 100 (c).
