This public notice concerns planned routine and special inspections for Bridge No. 14523, Bridge No. 5270, Bridge No. 14511, and Bridge No. 5270. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will lead inspections for Bridge No. 14523 and special inspections of pin and hanger assemblies for Bridge No. 5270. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) will lead routine inspections for Bridge Nos. 14511 and 5270, and underwater element inspections for Bridge Nos. 14523, 14511, and 5270. Fargo and Moorhead will equally share costs not covered by MnDOT and NDDOT. These inspections are planned to occur at least as often as required by federal or state law and National Bridge Inspection Standards, with the possibility of more frequent checks if deemed necessary by any party. The scope of work involves arranging and conducting these various types of bridge inspections, which may include site access, specialized equipment, and detailed reporting. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as engineering, inspection services, and potentially specialized repair or maintenance could find opportunities. Engaging early before specific contracts are awarded allows businesses to understand the project scope and requirements.
