This file is a bridge inspection report prepared for the City of Lakeland, Florida, documenting the condition assessment of the Oakbridge Boulevard Bridge (Northbound) spanning over a drainage canal. The report provides technical findings from the inspection performed on January 25, 2008, and supports the City of Lakeland's concurrent solicitation for professional engineering services related to bridge rehabilitation at Oakbridge Boulevard Bridge Nos. 164504 and 164505. The inspection report serves as baseline documentation for the condition of the structures that will be evaluated and potentially rehabilitated by selected engineering firms responding to the City's request for statements of qualifications.

The City of Lakeland solicitation follows Florida Statute 287.055, the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA), which requires that firms be permitted by law to practice professional engineering in Florida and demonstrate specialization and extensive experience in bridge inspections and bridge rehabilitation. In compliance with CCNA requirements, proposing firms are instructed not to include rates in their submissions. The inspection report contained in this file provides the technical foundation and project scope documentation necessary for qualified engineering firms to develop appropriate responses to the City's competitive solicitation for professional services.
