By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridges under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That the attached draft By-law limiting the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle of any class thereof, passing over certain bridges, under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering be enacted; 2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: The Highway Traffic Act and Ontario Regulation 104/97 Standards for Bridges require that every bridge and/or structure be kept safe and in good repair through periodic inspections under the direction of a Professional Engineer and in accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual, or equivalent. Further, The Highway Traffic Act establishes that municipalities "having jurisdiction over a bridge may by by-law limit the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or any class thereof passing over the bridge". The City of Pickering retains a qualified bridge inspection firm to perform regular bridge inspections every two years. In 2010, the City of Pickering retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to perform the required inspection on the City's 61 bridges and culverts with a span of 3.0 meters or over. As a result of the inspections, four bridge structures were subjected to gross vehicle weight limits at that time and two additional bridge structures required a new load limit by-law (By-law 7122/11). In 2012, the City retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation for the review and reconfirmation of load limits for the bridge structures included in the parent by-law. Based on the review, it was concluded that the existing load limits for all the structures were still adequate for the next 24 months period. In 2014, the City of Pickering retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to inspect and validate the gross vehicle weight limit for the bridge structures included in the parent by-law, with the exception of the bridge structure on Whitevale Road ENG 11-16 June 20, 2016 Subject: Municipal Bridge Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridge under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering Page 2 (Bridge# 5001), which was under construction at that time. As a result of the inspections, one bridge structure required a new load limit by-law (By-law 7367/14). In 2016, the City of Pickering retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation once again to inspect and validate the gross vehicle weight limit for the bridge structures included in the parent by-law. Subject to the above, staff hereby present a proposed by-law which identifies the new established maximum weight load limit on one bridge (Bridge# 10002) under the jurisdiction of the City and which repeals the previously established associated by-law. Financial Implications: The cost for Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to inspect and re-affirm proposed load limits at the five bridge locations and to certify the by-law was $11,272 plus HST. This additional cost is being charged to 2320.2392.0000 Roads current account. In order to remove the bridge load limits, future expenditures will be required to rectify structural deficiencies and to bring the bridges up to current code requirements. Discussion: In July of 2014, staff presented report ENG 16-14 to the Executive Committee. The report, as adopted by the Committee and approved by Council: • identified the maximum vehicle load limits established on five bridges as a result of the inspections on all bridges currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering • presented for Council endorsement, the draft by-law necessary for bridge load designations • established the necessary schedules for signature by two Professional Engineers certifying the safe load limits and the duration for which the limits apply As a result of the recent inspection of the Pickering/Uxbridge Townline bridge (Bridge# 10002), there is a need to reduce the maximum vehicular weight limit restriction of the structure from 11 tonnes to 10 tonnes and amend the Municipal Bridge Load By-law 7367/14. The maximum vehicular weight limit restriction for the remaining four bridges remains the same as per the current by-law (By-law 7367/14). A copy of bridge site location maps, the draft amending by-law and revised Schedule "A", which identifies all structures to which the by-law applies, are attached.
