Summary:
On October 8, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering companies to provide design services to improve Ashbury Street, Fairwood Lane, Troost Street, and Woodside Drive in the Woodside neighborhood. Eight (8) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all proposals, the selection committee chose Affinis Corp. as the most qualified firm.
The $510,640 Professional Services Agreement provides engineering services necessary for design of the reconstruction project, including survey of existing conditions, utility coordination, public involvement, acquisition documentation (title reports, surveyed exhibits, easement documents, etc.) needed for any right-of-way or easements, development of construction plans in accordance with Olathe design standards and specifications, cost estimates, assistance with bidding of the project for construction, and assistance as needed throughout construction.
Improvements will include full depth asphalt pavement and subgrade replacement, replacement of concrete curb and gutters, driveway approaches, replacement of sidewalks and ADA sidewalk ramps, streetlight installation, and stormwater improvements.
It is anticipated that design will begin immediately following approval of this agreement. Staff will bring the construction contract to City Council for consideration in early 2027. Improvements are expected to be completed by Fall 2027.
