Light Equipment Bridge
, l·1ith the additional treatment facilities, both existing and proposed,
on the north side of the Haumee River opposite the existing secondary
treatment plant, a requirement for travel between the two sites has
arisen. On the existing streets this is a round trip of about five
miles requiring approximately forty-five minutes. It has been suggested
that the lost time and vehicular costs resulting from this trip
might be reduced by construction of a light equipment bridge across the
Haumee River. The construction of this bridge is recommended.
There are two factors whiGh favor the construction of a bridge but
which cannot be evaluated on a dollar cost basis. The first and more
important of these is the ability of supervisory and maintenance personnel
to reach any point in the plant as quickly as possible in emergencies.
The second is the convenience of routine trips back and forth being a
five minute ,v-alk or motorized cart ride rather than a twenty to thirty
minute drive.
The estimated cons trt.lction cost of the bridge is $330,000. By comparison
'of the to'tal cost of a bridge versus the total cost of 'street travel,
it is estimated that at least t,,,elve round trips per day must be necessary
before the bridge is justified on a cost basis. At present it does
not appear tha t this many daily trips \"ill be required under normal
operating condi tions. However, this will be directly affected by the
organization of plant personnel and by the requirements of the storm
,;,Tater treatment demonstration project.
