Officials discuss recovering material washed from bridge, seek contractor quote
Summary
City staff said material washed out from the west side of a Canton bridge and plan to seek a quote from contractor Kenny Short to retrieve and replace it; ownership of a buried cable near the site is unclear and may affect work.
City staff told the Canton City Commission that material on the west side of a bridge washed out during recent high flows and that they plan to obtain a contractor estimate to recover and return the material to its original location.
Officials said Dennis contacted contractor Kenny Short to prepare a quote for removing the washed material and replacing it near the bridge. The transcript records staff saying Myron confirmed the crew can remove and replace the material without obtaining additional permission from CORE and others; the speaker said the work would likely require access from both the east and west sides of the bridge.
The discussion also noted an exposed, large buried cable about four feet down in the ground near the site; speakers said they did not know the cable\'s ownership or function (internet, telephone or other). Utilities staff had previously staked and inspected the area; the speaker said work may require ring-filling and covering the cable after removal of the washed material. No formal contract was approved at the meeting; staff said they would obtain a quote and follow up.
