Melissa presented two bridge <br /> concepts which she designed.The majority of the committee preferred the fieldstone material. Melissa <br /> requested the Committee to generate design and material ideas for MnDOT. <br /> There is no consistency in the Paul Bunyan bridges. <br /> Cost Participation with MnDOT—7%or a maximum of$300,000—this is for aesthetic enhancements <br /> which is anything above the base bridge build. <br /> Melissa showed color samples and noted that blues,yellows,and reds are the most likely to fade. <br /> Darker colors are less likely to show markings. <br /> Bridge maintenance—MnDOT stated painting is required about every 30 years and other than that there <br /> should be no maintenance. <br /> Tim Houle verified with the County that there is no cost maintenance policies on maintenance of county <br /> bridges. <br /> Lighting—There currently are no lights proposed for the bridges, but if lighting is used,the City is <br /> responsible for anything above the MnDOT norm and would be responsible for electrical and <br /> maintenance costs. <br /> A decision must be made by July 1 on the bridge designs; after that there will be time for <br /> branding/personalization items to be added to the bridge. <br />
