DISCUSSION:
The State of California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") prepares biannual bridge inspections reports on all federal-aid highway bridges under the city's jurisdiction. The reports contain descriptions of physical changes to the structures, recommendations of work to be done and additional information not recorded in the previous bridge reports.
In April 2006, Directors of Public Works were notified of the new Local Assistance Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program ("BPMP") which helps local agencies extend the life of their bridges by performing certain work items that have been pre-approved by the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA"). City staff developed a BPMP plan by examining the bridge inspection reports and by following the BPMP guidelines. The following table identifies seven (7) eligible bridges in the City's BPMP plan and their respective eligible work items.
