Hon. W. G. "Bill" Stacy
Kerr County Judge

Kerrville, Texas 78028
Dear Judge Stacy:
CONTACT:
Since the majority of the Commissioners Court is made up of new
members this year, we would like to apprise you of the status of our
on-going work pursuant to the replacement of the Indian Creek Road
bridge over the Guadalupe River. Also, we would like a reaffirmation
of the Court's intention to fund the County's portion of the cost of
this project.
As you probably know, this project is part of a program known as the
Off State System Bridge Program. It is funded with 80$ federal funds
matched with 20~ County funds. There are no state funds involved.
The rules of the program allow for these "matching funds" to be spent
only on the construction of the bridge itself plus one hundred and
fifty feet of the approach roadway on each end of the bridge. Any
additional right of way, utility adjustments, or road work outside the
150 feet of approach work must be funded entirely by the County.
One complication that we are trying to overcome at this time is that
when this bridge was originally approved for inclusion in the program,
it was designated to be rehabilitated; that is, strengthened and
widened as opposed to being completely replaced. We are now convinced
that replacement with a brand new bridge is necessary because we don't
know the integrity of the original concrete and steel and hesitate to
depend on it. Therefore, we are in the process of requesting that
this bridge be approved for total replacement.
Before this process can proceed further, we have been asked to obtain
a reconfirmation from the Court that it is still willing to fund its
portion of the project cost.
Hon. W. G. "Bill" Stacy
- 2 - March 7, 1991
At this time we are considering two alternatives as shown on the
attached drawing. One alternative (Alt. #1) involves a bridge that
crosses the river at an angle and establishes a new roadway inter-
section at the Old Ingram Loop. This proposal would provide a good
roadway alignment but would cost considerably more to construct and
would require a considerable amount of new right of way. The
other alternative (Alt. #2) calls for a new bridge parallel to the old
bridge. This proposal would cost less money and require very little
new right of way but would require a sharp"S" curve at the north end
of the bridge. Both options are based on the decision that the
existing bridge and dam must be preserved.
Listed below are estimated costs for each of these two alternatives:
Alt. #1
574,000 -Total for bridge
459,200 - 80~ Federal
114,000 - 20~ County
17,000 -Estimated Cost roadway work beyond 150' limit
(100$ County funds)
459,200 - Total Cost to federal government
131,000 - Total Cost to County
(Right of way not included)
Alt. #2
484,200 -Total for bridge
387,400 - 80~ Federal
96,800 - 20~ County
2,400 -Estimated Cost roadway work beyond 150' limit
(100$ County funds)
99,200 -Total Cost to County
(Right of Way not included)
Neither of these alternatives has, as yet, been approved by the
Federal Highway Administration or our Austin office.
As a matter of additional information, the rules of this program also
state that before any plans can be drawn, the County must enter
into a formal agreement with the State. Upon execution of this
agreement the County will be required to remit half of their 20$
matching funds within thirty days of the date of the agreement. This
money will then be used to fund the design and engineering to develop
the plans. The remaining 10$ matching funds as well as any funds for
the portion of the project to be 100$ funded by the County must be
remitted just prior to letting the contract.
Hon. W. G. "Bill" Stacy - 3 - March 7, 1991
Another item we should bring to your attention is that once the plans
have been prepared, it is possible that, due to our shortage of funds,
the project may not actually be constructed for a year or two.
Please consider the above facts and advise us as to how you prefer we
proceed. Specifically we wish to know if you are still interested in
participating in the program for this bridge, and if so, which
alternative you prefer that we push for approval. We will await your
reply before proceeding further.
We are also attaching copies of previous correspondence to assist you
in your decisions.

Re: Indian Creek Bridge Relocation
Dear Mr. Tucker:
Thank you for your informative appearance before Commissioners' Court on
November 13, 1990 relative to the captioned project.
As you heard, after due consideration, the Court is of the opinion that we
should proceed on the project as outlined by you. We understand that you
will proceed on this project as a bridge relocation rather than a bridge
rehabilitation project.
Also, it is our understanding that you will place the Indian Creek project
as a first priority as to the other projects pending in Kerr County. We
would prefer to see it given preference under the circumstances.
Thank you for your attention and consideration in this matter and if I can
be of further assistance, please advise.
Sincerely,
~Gi~~

Subject: Indian Creek Bridge Relocation
Dear Judge Edwards:
- IN REPLY REFER TO:
This letter is to inform you of our proposal to relocate Indian Creek
Bridge at the Guadalupe River crossing. The condition of the existing
bridge is such that rehabilization is not practical and replacernnt of
the bridge is preferred. The proposed alignment will enable the existing
dam to remain in place.
In accordance with the criteria of the Bridge Replacamnt and Rehabilitation
Program, any additional approach road work in excess of 150 ft. fran the
ends of the bridge shall be 100 funded by the participating county. Below
is a breakdown of the estimated county cost for this project.
20~ of Bridge Construction Costs $ 114,700.00
100$ of Additional Approach Road $ 17,000.00
_---.
± 0.6 Ac. Right of Way @ Prevailing Costs 3~ ? 1~
If the County approves of this relocation and wishes to pursue this project
as a bridge relocation rather than the bridge rehabilitation project, please
send us a written confirmation so we may forward this information to our
Austin Office.
If you have any questions or rern~ire further information concerning this
matter, please contact us at the Kerrville Office.

Re: 1987-91 Off State System Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitaion
Program
Dear Mr. Tucker:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 14, 1987 in connection
with the captioned program.
6Ve understand that Kerr County has been granted three (3) projects under the
program as follows:
(1) Verde Creek on EIm Pass Road.
(2} Guadalupe River on Lane Valley Road.
(3) Guadalupe River on Indian Creek Road.
As you recall, we requested number one (1) and two (2) above. We are most
pleasantly surprised to find number three (3) included. We had indicated in
our request that we would be prepared to proceed on number one(1) any time
after January 1, 1988 and on number two (2) anytime after January 1, 1989.
No budget plans were made for number three (3). As we are most anxious to
have all three projects completed while at the same time staying within our
financial capability without too great a hardship, we would submit this proposal
to accomplish that goal.
(1) The contract on Verde Creek can be executed at this time and timely
payments can be made as required therein.
(2} We understand that you probably would not be in a position to do the
engineering and let a contract on Lane Valley until the summer of 1989.
Therefore, we would be prepared to execute a contract on that pro-
ject anytime after September 3, 1988.

(3) As to Indian Creek, there of course is time for us to do some budget
planning on the project as we understand you would probably not let
that contract until 1990. Therefore, we would be prepared to execute
a contract on the project anytime after September 3, 1989.
ti'Je would ask that you accept this as a letter of intent on projects two (2) and
three (3) . If you like, amore specific letter of intent can be drafted.
VJe thank you for your efforts and consideration in this matter. If we can be of
further assistance, please do not hesitate to call on me. We will await further

Gentlemen		
As announced during the recent District Engineers' meeting the heretofore
mentioned 1987-88 Off-State System Federal Aid BRRP has been expanded into a
4-year 1987-90 program in the amount of approximately $70.5 million which
includes 25 per.Cent of the azrrent Federal fund BRRP allocation.
A listing of projects tentatively selected for this Program for your District
i s attached . These selections were made i n consultation with the
Administration, considering FHWA eligibility criteria, top priorities as
indicated by the District, and criteria allied Statewide considering school
bus routes, detour lengths, traffic volume, condition, roadway width and cost
effectiveness.
In reviewing the listings with the Administration it was dammed advisable that
efforts be made to identify all instances where a local government would be
unable to provide the 20 percent match funding.
Therefore, we request you provide confirmation that each local government
concerned has provided positive indication of capability to provide the match
furriing such that projects may be advanced to contract within the 4-year
program period. Contact with the local govlernments should be made as
necessary. However, in cases where only one or a very few structures have
been selected, you may already have substantive confirmation, and further
contact with the local government at this time may, therefore, be unnecessary.
For the local gaverrments who indicate they cannot provide the matching
furr3ing far some or all selected structures within the 4-year Program period,
please idaitify the structures involved so they may be deleted from the
selection list. Any structures deleted, of course, may be considered fcr
inclusion in a later Program. Also, please identify fully any additional
structures you propose be considered far selection, showing like data as for
tjne structures already listed.
-~-
Please note that the listing of selected and non-selected projects consists of
left and right-hand pages, with each left and right page set matched by page
number. Selected structures are indicated by the abserre of a statement to
the contrary under COP'1~9EiJ'1'S on the right-hand page. Non-selected structures
are indicated by the appearance of the statement "IJJT SELECTED" under
Ol'k'A~lEtJTS, with reasons for non-selection also cited.
Pi ease respond no later than August 15, 1987 in order that this Program may be
formulated in fir~l form and submitted for Ocmmission action as soon as
practical.
In closing, we wish to emphasize that these selections are tez~ative arr3 are
not final at this time. Any discussions with the local governments and the
public should be kq~t within this context accord ingly.

Re: 1987-88 Off-State System Federal Aid Bridge
Replacement and Rehabilitation Program
Dear Mr. Edwards:
IN REPLY REFER TO
Attached is a listing of bridges in Kerr County having a
sufficiency rating of 80 or less. Bridges located in Kerr
County are coded with "CO" in the column headed "HWY SYS".
The bridges are arranged by sufficiency rating, from low to
high. The sufficiency rating, multiplied by 10, is listed
in the column headed "SUFF RATE".
Structures with sufficiency ratings of 80 or less are eligible
for rehabilitation and structures with ratings of less than
50 are eligible for replacement. To be eligible for this program
a structure must also have "D" (for deficient) or an "O" (for
obsolete) in the column headed "DEF OBS". Projects will be
selected on a Statewide priority basis. Criteria used in making
the selections will include sufficiency rating, cost, traffic
volume, route essentiality and local government priority and
reasons therefor.
The local government must furnish all right of way and utility
adjustments, and pay 20$ of the project cost, with 10~ being due
when the project is accepted into the program, and the remaining
10~ being due prior to letting the construction contract.
If you desire to participate, please identify 2 or 3 structures
from the attached list as your candidates for this program.
Include a statement setting forth your reasons for the selections,
and their priorities. We will prepare cost and other data once
the projects are identified, unless you already have it available.
~'
Hon. Danny Edwards -2- February 3, 1987
Please feel free to coordinate with us by telephone inasmuch as
time is short for the submission of the entire list of District

13, 1987, in order to meet scheduling requirements. Please call
Carlton Biermann at 257-8444 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
