Heneghan’s Dunwoody Blog: March 2015

Mayor and Council,

The 2015 paving list is going out to bid this week and is available under Invitation to Bid 15-02 2015 Street Resurfacing. I want to make you aware of a few minor changes to the approved paving list in case you get questions from residents.

We continue to work with DeKalb County to coordinate the paving list with their pipe replacement program. Last fall our understanding was that the county would work to replace pipes on a number of roads on this year’s paving list. In recent months we have learned that the county does not currently have contracts in place that would allow for the work to be completed by this summer. Rather than defer paving on a number of roads, we asked the county to evaluate the roads on our list for this year and indicate the priorities for pipe replacement.

Based on the age, pipe material and past history of breaks the county is requesting that we defer Valley View Road and Pine Bark Lane (Branches) for one year so that the pipes can be replaced. The bid that is being issued removes these two roads and adds Winding Branch Court, and Old Branch Court in the Branches, and Dunkerrin Lane, and Ledgewood Drive in Dunwoody North. Winding Branch Court was already on this year’s list for major patching, Old Branch Court was on the list of poorly rated supplemental streets presented to Council in December. Dunkerrin and Ledgewood have been moved up from the 2016 list. The bid also includes a list of 12 additional roads from the supplemental list and from future years that could be added to the contract should funds be available. Work is expected to begin on May 18th and be completed within 75 calendar days.
