2026-11-03

The County of Santa Cruz , Department of Community Development & Infrastructure is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms for civil engineering services to aide in the design of the Either Way Bridge Replacement Project ( Bridge No . 36C - 0073 ) located over the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz County . The project will consist of completely replacing the existing structure and roadway approaches with a new 2 lane concrete bridge and bridge approaches meeting current design standards . The existing bridge is a 3 span , two - wide steel army treadway sections with reinforced concrete deck on steel pipe truss bent caps on steel post columns and partial - height wall piers and reinforced concrete seat type abutments with no wingwalls , founded on assumed spread footings . The Either Way bridge is being replaced because it is rated as Structurally Deficient Status per the bridge inspection report for a “ Fracture Critical Inspection ”. The bridge is listed in the Highway Bridge Program ( HBP ) and will be funded in part through the Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA ) in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans ) and the County . Consulting firm services must comply with the latest requirements of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual ( LAPM ), Federal , State , and local regulations .
