WITNESSETH:
History
The United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and East Columbia Basin Irrigation
District (ECBID) have begun an expansion of the East Low Irrigation Canal which has
brought forth the need to widen bridges located within both Adams and Grant County.
Funding was requested from the Legislators on behalf of Adams and Grant County in the
2018 Supplemental Transportation Budget. The request was to assist Adams and Grant
County in preparing planning, design elements, and cost estimates for up to three
prototype bridges for the replacements required for completing the East Low Canal
Project as part of the Odessa Ground Water Replacement Program.
Adams County was notified on March 28, 2018 that $100,000 had been awarded for the
Odessa — County Road Bridge Replacement Planning Project.
The Adams County Engineer informed the Grant County Engineer of the funding which
provides for cost estimates on up to three prototype bridge replacements. With there
being 8 structures in Adams County and 2 in Grant County it was mutually determined
that Adams County Engineer would take the lead in administrating the project.
The project will involve securing a consultant to perform the planning, design elements,
and cost estimates for up to three prototype bridges for county road bridge replacements.
Adams County will coordinate with Grant County on all aspects of the project.
