b. MnDOT will act as the lead in arranging for and conducting the inspections of Bridge No.

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

This item concerns the routine and underwater inspections of Bridge No. 14539 and Bridge No. 14510. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will lead inspections for Bridge No. 14539. The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) will lead routine inspections for Bridge No. 14510 and underwater inspections for both bridges. The cities of Fargo and Clay County will share equally any costs not covered by MnDOT and NDDOT, including administrative expenses. These inspections will occur at least as often as required by law, with the possibility of more frequent checks if any party deems it necessary. This agreement is currently under review. The work will involve specialized inspection services, potentially including underwater diving and reporting. Contractors and service providers specializing in bridge inspection, engineering assessment, and potentially diving services could find opportunities. Early engagement before final agreements are set may offer an advantage.
