To that end we were hoping you could provide us with information on the bridges and major culvertsin your municipality. We recognize that resources are thin and we do not want to create additionalworkload tabulating data for this project. We would be happy to accept the information in the mostconvenient form you may have available to provide such as current summary or budgetary reports.If it is of assistance we have provided a simple form you may fill out and return. The following is alist of the typical information we are collecting on municipal bridges and major culverts:• number of bridges and culverts within your jurisdiction;• timing of rehabilitation needs (now, 1-5 years, 6-10 years); and• funding needs (now, 1-5 years, 6-10 years).If you feel inclined, we would also be very interested in any additional comments you might havewith respect to the challenges in your municipality, such as:• ability to fund recurring maintenance of bridges and major culverts;• process to inspect bridges every two years as required by legislation; and• any other comments you may have.You can direct your response to me in writing, by fax or by email. We would be pleased to acceptdocuments in any format including, word, excel, PowerPoint or PDF. If you have any questions,feel free to contact me by phone or email.
