SUBJECT: Reimbursement to Public Works by Risk Management for the repair and
removal of the Rodeo Pedestrian Bridge
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE the Risk Manager to reimburse the Department of Public Works in the amount of
$35,586.69 for the repair and removal of the Rodeo Pedestrian Bridge.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Reimbursement from the Contra Costa County Property Damage Self-Insurance Fund for
costs paid to the Department of Public Works.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2003, the Rodeo Pedestrian Bridge was damaged when a vehicle attempted to
cross the bridge. This incident resulted in failed decking creating a threat to pedestrians.
Recognizing a potential dangerous condition, the bridge was closed to pedestrians.
Subsequent barricades and fencing were vandalized and failed to keep the public off the
bridge.
The Department of Public Works arranged for a study by Quincy Engineering. Their structural
engineers recommended removal and construction of a new bridge. The bridge was replaced
in October 2004.
The original vandalism created a first party loss for property damage. The self-insured
retention is $50,000. The Department of Public Works should be commended for their loss
prevention efforts and reimbursed for funds already expended.
