McEnany Construction awarded 2026 street maintenance contract in Roeland Park
Summary
Council approved a 2026 street-maintenance contract with McEnany Construction (cost reported at $624,743; authorized not to exceed $626,000) to complete a suite of UBAS resurfacing and heavy maintenance work, including a cul-de-sac repair and localized drainage fixes.
Public Works Director Donnie Scharf presented the city's scope for 2026 street maintenance, explaining engineers used a pavement-condition-index rating to identify priority streets and proposed using ultra-thin bonded asphalt surfacing (UBAS) across several east- and west-side corridors.
Scharf told the council the total bid from McEnany Construction to complete the work is $624,743 and staff recommended a contract with a not-to-exceed authority of $626,000; the council moved, seconded (1st Fadley; 2nd Hill) and approved the contract by voice vote. Scharf highlighted a heavier maintenance treatment for a cul-de-sac that had deteriorated under a previous chip-seal treatment and a small targeted spot near 47th Street to address drainage around a manhole.
The city reported an available maintenance budget of $630,000 for these projects, leaving a narrow contingency between the contract cost and the budgeted amount. Bids for additional upcoming projects (51st Street, 55th Street) were out for solicitation and were expected to return to council for review.
What happens next: Public Works will begin contracting and scheduling with McEnany Construction; staff will report on construction sequencing and any change-order requests to the council.
