31st Street, Haskell Avenue to O’Connell Road funding, City Project No. 18P07S
|
On September 18, 2013, KDOT received bids for the South Lawrence Trafficway and 31st Street from Haskell Avenue to O’Connell Road. The low bidder was Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. from Columbia, Missouri.
South Lawrence Trafficway |
$129,806,243.20 |
31st Street |
$3,914,175.52 |
Project Scope: Construction of 31st Street, from Haskell Avenue to O’Connell Road, includes pavement, subgrade treatment, storm sewer, sidewalk and multiuse path, a round-a-bout at O’Connell, and watermain (see attached map).
In May of 2012 the City and State entered into an agreement for a number of items related to the South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT) including relocating City streets of Louisiana Street, 31st Street, Haskell Avenue, and signalization of Haskell interchange, multi-use path extension, and a number of other items including the construction of 31st Street from Haskell to O’Connell.
The SLT project will construct about 1/3 of the proposed 31st Street and acquired about ˝ of the right-of-way that is needed for 31st Street. The City/State Agreement tied the SLT and 31st Street projects. KDOT also agreed to acquire all the right-of-way for 31st Street on the City’s behalf.
The agreement also provides that the City will pay to KDOT $2 million on January 2nd of 2014 and 2015.
Costs:
Construction Bid |
$3,914,175 |
Right-of-Way Costs |
$650,000 |
Wetland Mitigation Land |
$71,000 (KDOT acquired) |
Wetland Management Maintenance Monitoring & Reporting |
$61,000 (to Baker) |
Inspection & Testing |
$75,000 |
TOTAL |
$4,771,175 |
The City received an earmark of $800,000 in 2006 for engineering, right-of-way acquisition. The study, and design costs were approximately $550,000, so this leaves approximately $250,000 for right-of-way acquisition.
Resolution 7047 is in an amount of $4.6 million ($4,771,175 - $250,000 = approx. $4.6 million)
Action Request: Adopt Resolution No. 7047, authorizing the issuance of bonds in the amount of $4.6 million for the construction of 31st Street from Haskell Avenue to O’Connell Road; and
Authorize the Mayor to sign the Authority to Award Contract, commitment of City Funds for the 31st Street project 23 U-2117-01 to Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., City Project Number 18P07S.
Respectfully Submitted,
