City engineer recommends $52,272 lining of corroded stormwater pipe at Marywood Lane
Summary
Peachtree City’s city engineer told council a lining (spray-in-place concrete) project at Marywood Lane should be awarded to Utility Asset Management for $52,272 to fix internally corroded storm pipes at the entrance to Marywood subdivision; funding will come from stormwater utilities budget.
City Engineer Dave Borkowski briefed council on the Marywood Lane stormwater pipeline project and recommended awarding the contract for spray‑applied concrete lining to Utility Asset Management in the amount of $52,272.
Borkowski said the city’s GIS inventory identifies many storm pipes in poor condition and that this set is considered severely corroded and strategically important because it sits at the entrance to Marywood subdivision off South Peachtree Parkway, where the road is effectively the only outlet for residents. The lining technique (spin‑cast concrete sprayed to roughly 1–1.5 inches of 8,000‑psi concrete) was recommended because the pipes are in a condition suitable for relining rather than full excavation and replacement.
Staff solicited bids from eight contractors and received two responses; the low responsive bidder was Utility Asset Management at $52,272. Borkowski said funding will come from the stormwater utility pipelining budget and that the department expects enough remaining budget to complete one or two more similar projects this year. Council asked technical questions about internal vs. external corrosion (staff said corrosion is mostly internal) and thickness application.
No formal award was recorded at the workshop; staff recommended placing the award on the next consent/award agenda for council action.
