MEMORANDUM

MEMO TO: Doug Riecken June 20, 1990

Acting City Engineer

MEMO FROM: Gordon Voncina
Operations Manager

SUBJECT : Bailey Bridge Guard Rail Installation

As per your request, I have reviewed the installation of the metal guard
rail across the wooden railing wings of the Bailey Bridge located on Pitt

River Road.

The metal guard rail application on the wooden railing is. unsuitable due
to the elevation changes of both approaches to the bridge. In addition, the
skew angle of the newly installed guard rail would not allow for a smooth
transition of guard rail sections to match with the metal guard rail presently.) *

installed on the Bailey Bridge.

It is recommended that concrete guard rail will be utilized to protect

motorists approaching either side of the bridge. The use of the concrete
guard rail would minimize the risk of a vehicle breaking through the portions

of the approach now protected by wooden railings.

The cost of such an installation should be funded from un-allocated
capital as a new installation, as the present bridge maintenance account has

been expended re-decking the bridge.

Please find attached an estimate of $8,370.00.

Respectfully submitted,
