Kennedy Ul <br />City of North Olmsted <br />5200 Dover Center Road <br />North Olmsted, Ohio 44070 <br />c: Pietro DiFranco, City Engineer <br />Re: ODOT Systematic Upgrade of Barrier End Terminals <br />D12-GR(B)-FY2014 (PID 93518) <br />Dear Mayor Kennedy, <br />The ODOT District Planning and Engineering Department has secured a grant to assist in upgrading barrier <br />(e.g. guardrail, concrete barrier, etc.) end terminals on state routes within Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga <br />Counties. In addition to upgrading ODOT maintained terminals, the grant allows for us to assist in the <br />replacement of these terminals on locally maintained state routes as well. A project has been programmed to <br />upgrade those end terminals identified as the highest priorities within District 12 based on their potential risk <br />to motorists (see enclosed table). <br />The District has identified several Type A end terminals (see enclosed images) on state routes in your <br />jurisdiction which are potential candidates for upgrade on the upcoming project. These terminals are <br />undesirable because they have exhibited a tendency to flip over vehicles, increasing crash severity. The <br />replacement terminals will most likely consist of either Type E end terminals, Type B end terminals, or <br />radius rail, at no cost to your local jurisdiction. The subsequent maintenance of the upgraded terminals will <br />remain the responsibility of the local maintaining agency. Based on our experience, one can plan on the <br />future repair and/or replacement costs of damaged Type E and Type B end terminals to be in the range from <br />$500 to $2000, depending on the severity of the impact and extent of damage to terminal components. <br />As part of the project development process, this office will need to execute consent legislation in order to <br />make these improvements within your jurisdiction. Please have the enclosed legislation enacted by the City <br />and return two (2) ori inal signature certified copies to this office by Sentember 27, 2013. Upon full <br />execution by the State, an original copy will be returned to you for your files. <br />WWW.TRANSPORTATtUN.C}FiEL3.Go`l/DIST1 2 <br />C7C}OT fS AN EQITAL OPPORTUNITY EM€'LOYER AND PROV[DEF; C)F SERVIGES
