This summary has been prepared from notes taken during the meeting. Staff comments and responses are noted in italics. Following direction from City Council to engage the public regarding the Morehead Delaware pedestrian bridge, a public meeting was held on June 7. Interested prospective focus group participants were asked to contact the designated Lans Basin neighborhood representative. All persons who requested participation in the Focus Group were selected. Focus Group members will work with City Staff to develop their recommendation for the project site that will be presented to City Council in September 2016. In the coming months, staff will work with the Focus Group to evaluate alternatives for this site. The focus group process will provide opportunity for detailed discussions and consideration of alternate possibilities. The Focus Group recommendations will be shared with the public in advance of presentation to City Council, scheduled for September 2016. Introductions Proposed Focus Group guidelines o Focus Group members agreed to move forward with the current roster of participants; an invitation for interest was posted and the deadline has passed. All members of the public are welcome to attend Focus Group meetings to give input during designated public comment time. o Focus Group members were supportive of moving forward with the proposed guidelines. Logistics o Focus Group materials will be distributed as PDF, unless otherwise requested. (Debbie Merion has requested to receive materials as Word documents) o Focus Group email addresses will be BCC ed to protect privacy of personal email addresses. Page 1 of 5

o Schedule o Morehead Delaware Pedestrian Bridge Focus Group #1 Discussion Summary Where can the Focus Group share documents with other members of the public? Post meeting update: the City of Ann Arbor communications office is working to create a project website for Morehead Delaware Pedestrian bridge project materials. Additional information will be sent once that is available. Interest was expressed to include contractors or bridge company representatives at future a future Focus Group meeting; perhaps via conference call. Updates Recreation Passport Grant o Overview (see Appendix C) o Scoring criteria (see Appendix D) o Past projects (see Appendix E) o o If the grant will delay the construction timeline Focus Group members are not interested Follow up questions for Chip Kosloski, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Could the project be constructed prior to grant application/award, and then reimbursed? City right of way (not in a park) ok? How important is it that this project connects to other paths/ trails? What percentage of grant applications get funded? What is average grant amount? Discuss details of the project with Mr. Kosloski and try to get a sense of whether this seems like this would be a successful grant application. Discussion of permitting requirements and bridge parameters: o Staff are working on follow up with MDEQ for clarification on questions raised at the June 7 meeting. o Was the Dexter Tornado in 2012 a 100 year flood event? No. Post meeting update: The storm event that occurred on March 15, 2012 is classified as a 10% annual chance storm. This means that in any given year, there is a 10% chance that a storm of that volume would occur. There is a 1% chance in any given year that a 100 year flood event would occur. o Are bridges in Gallup Park [Americans with Disabilities Act] ADA compliant? Bridges in existing parks may not be ADA compliant. ADA went into effect in the 1990s at which point all future construction was required to meet the requirements, however, existing structures do not have to be brought up to compliance until they are renovated or replaced. o Can staff check with other municipalities who have constructed similar bridges? For example, the Huron Clinton Metro Park Authority. Staff can request additional information from the Huron Clinton Metro Park Authority once Focus Group members provide additional information about the specific location that they are referring to and what information they are looking for. o Can City re use hydraulic analysis done when weir was replaced in 2010? Re using the hydraulic analysis may introduce additional liability. The contractor will want to perform their own hydraulic analysis. Hydraulic analysis is not a huge component of the cost. The hydraulic analysis previously performed could be provided in the RFP as a reference. Page 2 of 5

Morehead Delaware Pedestrian Bridge Focus Group #1 Discussion Summary Q&A document o What is the width and span of the bridge that would be built on this site? The bridge width must be a minimum of 5 feet for compliance with City standards. ADA requirements specify a minimum of 4 feet width. The bridge length requirement is dependent on responses from MDEQ regarding floodplain elevation. ADA requirements also influence bridge length. It is expected that the bridge will need to be roughly 80 85 feet in length. o Focus Group members expressed concern that City Council will not approve this project until a lower price tag (i.e. total project cost) is determined. o The original bridge was platted as public right of way and constructed. Can the city find any permitting information from the early 1980s and use that information to find more information about the original bridge/ who constructed it? Goals Discussion The Focus Group will develop a recommendation for the project site that can be shared with the community and then presented to City Council in September 2016 Fundamental goals: o A bridge o Low enough cost to be supported by city council o Winter maintenance not needed Determine minimum parameter requirements. DEQ responses are needed to determine specifications, floodway requirements, support beam acceptability, etc. Staff have been in contact with MDEQ to try and get answers to questions, however, the process of determining requirements and acquiring permits is generally the responsibility of the design consultant. Explore design build as a possibility: o What is meant by design build? The City s standard practice is to conduct a design process and then award a bid for construction. In this case City Council takes action on the design contract and the construction contract separately. Design build is an alternative approach that would involve setting parameters and bidding the project design and construction under a single contract. In the design build model, there is only one vote from City Council. This is not done often, but may be a possibility for this project. o Could the bid parameters include a price cap? o Could the bid parameters specify that they must work with the existing foundation? (if it is determined that the foundation is structurally sound) o What are the risks of reusing the current infrastructure? The potential contractor would need to examine the site and accept liability that the structure is sufficient to support the bridge. It is unlikely that the contractor would accept that level of liability. The RFP could be written to require that companies examine the viability of existing structures. o Regardless of design build or typical construction process, access must be considered. Pre bid meeting might take place on site so contractors fully understand area. o Is City Council approval needed to put out an RFP for design build? No. However, we may not be able to determine parameters and get through the RFP process before September 2016. The Focus Group could recommend to City Council that a decision on the design contract be postponed while the design build process is pursued. o The Focus Group is interested in the design build option. Based on design build RFP responses we will have a total project cost figure to take back to City Council. The Page 3 of 5

Morehead Delaware Pedestrian Bridge Focus Group #1 Discussion Summary design build scenario may be the best option to specify an anticipated project cost and ask respondents to tell us what is feasible for that price tag. Cost estimate refinement o Can we ask the firm that was selected for the design RFP in March 2016 to look at the site and provide a rough estimate? The contract before City Council in March 2016 was for bridge design, not construction. The consultant did visit the project site in the process of preparing their proposal. The current, planning level cost estimate was prepared by an engineering firm that did look at the site to make their estimate. o Is the current cost estimate faulty? Was the cost estimate inflated by an assumption that vehicular traffic would need to be supported by the bridge? The existing cost estimate did assume a width and structural capacity to accommodate small winter maintenance equipment (not full size vehicles). The City does not have a preference toward providing winter maintenance. The bridge parameters could specify that only foot traffic needs to be supported. This may reduce the cost estimate, but is not likely to have a large impact on the overall cost. o What parameters have the largest impact on bridge cost? ADA compliance, construction access, elevation above the floodplain, constructing new supports for the bridge, remaking bridge approaches after construction, and creek restoration are all larger cost factors. Neighborhood involvement o Eberwhite School had a large community effort to build a playground. Is there potential for community construction on this project? Post meeting note: There is an existing marketing scheme that provides for community involvement in playground construction. Playground equipment manufacturing companies have capitalized on this interest by providing modular structures that are suited for community involvement in construction. The City is not aware of any bridge manufacturing companies that similarly accommodate community bridge building. In addition, the location of the Morehead Delaware bridge project over an open waterway presents additional liability concerns. o To what extent was the community involved for the Ann Arbor Skate Park project? The Ann Arbor Skate Park is an example of an opportunity for the community to be involved with fundraising. o The community perspective seems to be that a wood bridge would be the cheapest option. Based on conversations with consultants, the City anticipates that a prefabricated bridge would be more economical than a hand built, timber bridge (assuming that a free standing bridge is required, i.e. without intermediary support beams) o Can the community do the work of restoring the natural landscape after building? This can be written into the RFP. Establish a Plan B o Status quo is not acceptable o Remove sidewalk, replace grass, use shrubs to bar access to the creek o Something to discourage it as a cut through o Need a safety measure to address the existing condition: drop down to the creek o Reconvene this focus group for future discussion if bridge is not approved? Potential recommendations: May recommend that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for design build be pursued decision on design contract may need to be postponed Page 4 of 5

Morehead Delaware Pedestrian Bridge Focus Group #1 Discussion Summary Depending on the outcome of Focus Group discussions, postponement of the September 2016 deadline may be requested. Other Why not hire a company that sells bridges to construct this project? They seem to know the requirements. Bridge manufacturing companies generally do not perform the construction. A bridge manufacturer may be part of the hired project team, but engineers and experts that focus on permitting requirements would also be needed. Procurement process: how are City projects advertised? Focus Group members expressed interest in being made aware when an RFP is posted. The City has a process in place to post new projects but can also reach out to specific contractors to invite them to respond to an RFP or Invitation to Bid (ITB). We need an immediate short term plan for the site to discourage crossing on the weir. This will be an agenda item for our July 28 discussion. Public Comment No comments.
