Summary:
This project is needed to improve capacity, reduce delays and increase safety at the intersection. This project will include dual left turn lanes for all directions of traffic and right turn lanes for three of four directions; westbound traffic has an existing right turn lane. Additional improvements include filling gaps in the sidewalk along 135th Street which will improve safety and connectivity with California Trails Middle School. This is a joint project with the City of Overland Park that will be administered by the City of Olathe.
On September 27, 2019, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering companies to provide design services for this project. Eleven (11) firms responded to the RFQ. After reviewing all proposals, the selection committee chose Alfred Benesch & Company as the most qualified firm.
The $353,800 Professional Services Agreement provides engineering services necessary for design of the 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.
This project is tentatively scheduled for design in 2020, land acquisition in 2020/2021, utility relocations in 2021, and construction in 2022.
