Background:

The Crysler Avenue bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad was originally built in 1980, and is located just North of the intersection of S Crysler Ave. and W. Lexington Ave. Based on Missouri Department of Transportation inspections, the concrete deck has a poor condition rating. Damage consists of spalls and delamination, transverse cracking, and expansion joint deterioration.  Several previous repairs have been completed to date.  Recommendations from the inspection is to replace the bridge deck.

This action would approve a change order to the engineering services contract for the construction inspection of these improvements.
