Summary:
This project will replace the retaining wall along the south side of 135th Street between Brougham Drive and Arapaho Drive. The existing retaining wall is a modular block type wall, approximately 750 feet long and up to 7.5 feet tall, and is leaning forward throughout the entire length, up to 1" per foot.
On October 9, 2023, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering firms to provide design services for the project. Six (6) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all proposals, the selection committee chose George Butler Associates, Inc. as the most qualified firm.
The agreement is for $201,232 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 of project for construction, and assistance as needed throughout construction.
This project is scheduled to begin design after approval of the agreement, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in Spring 2025.
