RE:

January 22, 2008 Consent Agenda Item

23rd Street, Iowa to Louisiana, Access Management Improvements

Project No. 32-AC1-604(S); State Project No. 10-23 K-9667-01.

Supplemental Agreement No. 1

 

Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the January 22, 2008 meeting:

 

BACKRGROUND.  In April 2004 the city was awarded an Economic Development Grant from KDOT for consolidation of access points along 23rd Street from Iowa to Louisiana.  The total project was estimated at $936,000.  KDOT agreed to pay for 75% of actual construction costs up to a maximum of $470,144.  City costs include engineering, right-of-way, utilities, and 25% of construction costs.

 

Originally the plan was to be one project that would affect some thirty access points.  Negotiations with adjacent businesses started well but details were never finalized.

 

The state has been working with staff as opportunities present themselves with smaller, single/dual access consolidation projects using the grant funds.  Two projects have been completed with the development of the Long John Silver restaurant and the recent CVS Pharmacy.  In order for the city to be reimbursed for 75% of construction costs for the CVS/El Mezcal Mexican Restaurant project the attached Supplemental Agreement is needed.  It basically reiterates the responsibilities of the city and state as established by the original Economic Development Grant. 

 

Total CVS project costs: $21,240.  KDOT reimbursement: $15,930.  City cost:  $5,310.

 

Action Request.  Authorize Mayor to execute Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with the Kansas Department of Transportation for the 23rd Street consolidation of access points, City Project No. 32-AC1-604(S), State Project No. 10-23 K-9667-01.

 

Respectfully submitted,
