Public Works, Water & Sewer
Alderman Elny Harn, Chairman
Manhole cover at Spruce and Johnson Court. Public Works Director reported that on
April 18, 2005, while televising and cleaning sewers along Spruce Street as part of the
department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity grant, Hoerr Construction
encountered bricks in the manhole at the intersection of Spruce and Johnson Court and
the sanitary sewer. Upon further inspection of the sanitary manhole, we observed a major
cave in on the east side of the brick manhole.
Eight contractors were contacted including several local contractors. The local
contractors were either too busy or the project was beyond the scope of their work. Three
contractors from outside the area drove to Canton, looked at the project and gave
estimates to remove and replace the manhole. Hillyer Inc. presented the lowest estimate
of $6,600 to furnish excavating equipment and labor. The City would be responsible for
providing the following items: (1) manhole, (2) sand backfill, (3) various piping and
fittings, (4) trucking of materials to and from job, and (5) restoration of the roadway. The
total estimated cost of this project including retaining Hillyer Inc. is $12,970.00.
Motion and second by Aldermen Molleck/Reed, to send the request to council for their
consideration. Voice vote, motion carried unanimously.
Motion and second by Aldermen Reed/Molleck, to go into Executive Session to discuss
Personnel and Grievance. Voice vote, motion carried unanimously.
