City manager: culvert failure barricaded; gas‑line relocation planned in August
Summary
City manager reported a compromised culvert has been fully barricaded and that contractor delays have pushed repair toward the end of summer; he also said the gas company will relocate a line next week and that component will be completed ahead of the culvert fix.
City Manager Dapolito updated council and residents on an active culvert failure and an associated schedule for repairs and gas-line relocation.
He reported that heavy stormwater damaged the culvert and the roadway has "completely deteriorated," so the city has barricaded the area to prevent pedestrian access and placed covers. He said the company that fabricates the culvert is behind schedule and the city attorney has sent a notice of commencement to the contractor to prompt action; the manager said the city expects work toward the end of summer or early fall and will enforce contract damages if timelines are missed.
On a related infrastructure coordination matter the manager said the gas company will perform a relocation next week, which is needed before full culvert work can proceed; that component is expected to be finished sooner. Council members asked about potential legal action; the city attorney said not at this point but noted contract provisions for damages in case of delay.
