(KAIR)--Following a vote of the Atchison City Commission this week, repair work is approved for the City’s 6th Street viaduct.
The necessary work follows damage incurred by the structure in August when a construction company’s excavator, transported on a trailer, damaged several of the viaduct’s beams as it passed beneath, eastbound on Main Street, due to a lack of clearance.
The viaduct was inspected, with the hired engineering firm finding that the damage was limited to the concrete, with no damage to the steel reinforcement of the structure. That same engineering firm, for $25,000, was secured to provide specs, design the scope of work, and administer the bid process.
Once opened, the City received four bids, with the lowest, $82,879, submitted by PciRoads.
That bid Monday was approved by the City Commission on a unanimous vote.
A start date is not immediately announced.
According to City documents, the insurance provider for the construction company at fault for the damage has confirmed that both engineering and construction costs are able to be reimbursed.
