Drawer F Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 Dear Mr. Grimes: BOBBY HOPPER, VICE CHAIRMAN SPRINGDALE RON HARROO PRESCOTT O. N. COOPER CHIEF ENGINEER On July 1 the Federal Highway Administration notified us that many bridges on city streets are not in compliance with National Bridge Standards. These bridges must be strengthened, posted or closed in order to maintain public safety and to assure continued Federal Aid funding to Arkansas. The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department has established a program whereby all city bridges with restrictive weight limits will be posted with appropriate warning signs. Our latest inventory records indicate that Fayetteville has ten bridge locations requiring such signs. Your city is responsible for purchasing and erecting the necessary signs and Federal Aid funds will be used to reimburse you at a fixed rate of $165.60 per bridge. Please adopt and return the enclosed resolution along with the signed agreement of understanding in the self addressed envelope no later than October 1, 1985. Upon receipt of the resolution, you will be provided a description of the loca- tion And type- signs to be used, installation instructions, and a notice to ` proceed. It will be the city's responsibility to purchase signs that will meet the requirements of the program and erect them at the designated locations. Upon being notified in writing by the city that the signs are in place, our per- sonnel will inspect the signs and you will then be reimbursed $165.60 in accor- dance with the Federally established unit price. Because of the threatened loss of Federal Aid funds, your expeditious handling of this matter is absolutely critical. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact our Programming and Scheduling Section at 569-2481 immediately. • Y Dir -.tor of Hig ays and - ansportation FAYETTEVILLE, ARICANSAS OFFICE OF CITY CLERK P. 0.
