(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening received the results of a concrete depth examination of Miami Street.
Following citizen concerns, a firm was hired to take core samples on Miami Street between 1st and 10th streets to determine the concrete thickness.
Kansas City Testing and Engineering took 27 core samples last week.
City Administrator Mike Nichols said 10 of the cores were below the 8 inches required. Of those, one was seven inches. The other nine were greater than 7 inches and less than 7.8 inches.
17 cores were within specifications or over.
Based on KDOT specifications, Nichols said at least 20 additional cores are required.
The Commission voted to proceed with the additional core samples at a cost not to exeed Nichols spending authority of $5,000.
