Item Description:
title
Consideration of Agreement between the City of Olathe, Kansas and Board of County Commissioners of Johnson County, Kansas, for the funding of the Black Bob (Lackman) Road, 159th to 175th, Improvements Project, PN 3-C-065-18..
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
This project will evaluate the future alignment and corridor improvements of Black Bob Road between 159th Street and 175th Street. Utilizing the City of Olathe’s Travel Demand Model, the most recent traffic counts, and current and future development plans, recommendations will be made for a roadway typical section for the corridor, intersection improvements, and storm drainage improvements. A preliminary cost estimate will also be developed. This will allow the City of Olathe and Johnson County to better plan for future development and right-of-way needs along the corridor, put us in a better position to compete for federal funds to assist with future improvements, and establishes a partnership between the City of Olathe and Johnson County for sharing the costs of future improvements.
This Agreement is in place to allow Johnson County to reimburse the City of Olathe for the costs of the project. Under the Agreement, the cost of the project will be split equally between the two parties. The estimated cost for the project is $45,000, thus the City of Olathe and Johnson County’s shares are estimated to be $22,500 each.
The preliminary engineering analysis is tentatively scheduled to begin in May 2019 and be complete in Summer 2019.
