Kennesaw moves to approve pipe relining contract and several public-works consent items
Summary
Council approved consent items including awarding a pipe relining contract to Utility Asset Management ($264,140), accepting two new streets in East Park Village as city streets, approving a $408,980 engineering design proposal for Rutledge Road/Kathy Lane, and authorizing cemetery street closures.
Kennesaw — During the council work session, public-works staff recommended and the council moved forward on several consent items related to infrastructure and procurement.
Staff said the annual pipe relining project (fiscal year 2026) was advertised in the local legal paper and drew six bids. Public Works recommended awarding the low bid to Utility Asset Management for $264,140 to reline a set of pipes listed in the project packet. Council members asked whether the contract would address previously reported stormwater problems in Pine Hill; staff said that specific Pine Hill repairs had been completed under the prior contract and that complaints are prioritized by severity.
The council also accepted two streets in East Park Village—Maple Drive (an entry road) and Russell Drive (a connecting horseshoe)—as city "C" streets after completion of the one-year warranty period and required repairs. Planning and Public Works staff recommended official acceptance.
Patterson and Dewar submitted a proposal for engineering design services for the Rutledge Road / Kathy Lane project. Staff said the proposed design fee is $408,980 and recommended approval.
Finally, staff requested the council officially close certain city streets within the cemetery, remove asphalt and re-sod the areas; staff said these thoroughfares are technically city streets and recommended closure to improve appearance and maintenance.
The recommendations were presented on the consent agenda and proceeded without roll-call voting recorded in the work-session transcript. No amendments or formal roll-call tallies were included in the recorded discussion.
