Summary:
This project is needed to improve capacity and reduce delays at the intersection. The project will construct a westbound right turn lane from Spruce Street to northbound Parker Street (K-7 Highway). Improvements will include new pavement, curb and gutter, grading, a retaining wall, and all other work necessary to complete the project.
On December 16, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering firms to provide design services for the project. Seven (7) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all proposals, the selection committee chose Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. as the most qualified firm.
The agreement is for $123,647.50 and will include 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 the project for construction, and assistance as needed throughout construction.
The project is scheduled to begin design after approval of the agreement, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in 2026.
