Summary:
On November 25, 2019, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering companies to provide design services to improve four downtown streets. Five (5) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all proposals, the selection committee chose HNTB Corporation as the most qualified firm.
The $339,990 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 project for construction, and assistance as needed throughout construction.
Improvements on the four downtown streets will include full depth asphalt pavement and subgrade replacement, replacement of concrete curb and gutters, replacement of sidewalk, installation of missing segments of sidewalk, driveway approaches, street light installation, stormwater improvements, and sanitary sewer improvements.
It is anticipated that design will begin immediately following approval of this agreement. Staff anticipates bringing a construction contract for the first phase of improvements to the City Council for consideration in Summer 2020. Improvements for all phases are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
