Please include the referenced items on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the March 10, 2009 meeting:

 

Project Description/Status.  State highways that enter the City limits are referred to as “Connecting Links”.  The State offers funding assistance up to a maximum of $200,000 through the KLINK (Kansas Connecting Link) Program for major maintenance projects, such as mill and overlay, on the state highways. Funding is obtained through application.  The City applies annually.

 

Project History.  Recent projects have included the following.

2006

Iowa, Irving Hill Overpass to Harvard; 23rd Street, Harper to east City limits

2007

Iowa, 6th Street to Harvard, and Irving Hill overpass to 23rd Street

2008

Iowa, 23rd Street to north of 31st Street

2009

23rd Street, Iowa to Kentucky Court

 

Project Details.  The identified project for the 2010 KLINK Project (State FY 2011) is the mill and overlay of 23rd Street (K-10) from Haskell Avenue to the East City Limits.  City staff designs, bids, and inspects the KLINK projects.  The work is generally completed during the summer months. 

 

Project Funding.  The estimated project cost is $654,000.  The City’s share has historically been paid for with General Obligation Bonds.

 

Action Request.  Two separate actions are requested for this project. The agreement for consideration accepts KDOT’s participation of a maximum of $200,000. The second resolution authorizes general obligation bonds for the city’s share of the project costs.

 

  1. Adopt Resolution 6821 authorizing the Mayor to sign Agreement No. 22-09 with the Secretary of Transportation for reimbursement of costs for the KLINK project, 23rd Street (K-10) from Haskell Avenue to East City Limits.
  2. Adopt Resolution No. 6824 authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $450,000 for the milling and overlay of 23rd Street (K-10) from Haskell Avenue to East City Limits.  This amount has been funded in the Capital Improvement Budget. 

 

Respectfully submitted,

Charles F. Soules, P.E.

Director of Public Works
