The existing Riverside Drive Southbound Bridge deck (Bridge No. 02-220-ZR50-50-001) over Trinity River

Riverside Drive Bridge to replace the existing deficient bridge deck and approach roadways. The
estimated cost for the new bridge deck is $922,070.00. The City's cost share is 10 percent of the
estimated total cost- $92,207.00.
Under the Equivalent-Match program initiated by the State (Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Section
15.55(d)), no direct payment by the City is required if the Local Government agrees to perform structural
improvements in at least an equal dollar amount of its cost share amount to other deficient bridges or
cross-drainage structures within its jurisdiction. For this project, the City agrees to perform structural
improvement in the minimum amount of$92,207.00 for the following bridge.

project will be funded from Annual Bridge Maintenance PayGo Fund in Fiscal Year 2018. The City agrees
to complete this project within three years of the contract being let by the Texas Department of
Transportation for Riverside Drive Bridge project.
Under the terms of the funding Agreement, the City is responsible for 10 percent offset of the cost of
eligible work, plus 100 percent of costs that are deemed ineligible by TxDOT, including right-of-way
