Summary:
On February 7, 2025, the City advertised a Request for Qualification (RFQ) for engineering companies to provide design services to improve Old 56 Highway (Chestnut Street to Mahaffie Street), Kansas Avenue (Spruce Street to Harold Street), and 119th Street (Sunset Drive to Ridgeview Road). Six (6) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all the proposals, the selection committee chose HNTB Corporation as the most qualified firm.
The $565,070 Professional Services Agreement provides engineering services necessary for the design of the street preservation project projects, including survey of existing conditions, utility coordination, development of construction plans in accordance with Olathe design standards and specifications, cost estimates, assistance with bidding of project for construction, and assistance as needed throughout construction.
Improvements will include milling and asphalt resurfacing, base and subgrade repairs (as needed), concrete curb and gutter replacement, pavement markings, traffic detection loops and storm sewer replacements. The Old 56 Highway project will also include the installation of a westbound left turn lane at Enterprise Street. The Kansas Avenue project will include reconstruction of Prairie Street (east of Kansas Avenue), installation of a concrete shared use path on the east side, and replacement of streetlights between Spruce Street and Mill Creek. The 119th Street project will also include the installation of a concrete shared use path on the south side.
It is anticipated that design will begin immediately following approval of this agreement. Staff will bring the construction contract to the City Council for consideration in Spring 2026. Improvements are expected to be completed by Fall 2026.
