RE:	October 20, 2009 Consent Agenda Item Clinton Parkway Shared-Use Path City/State Agreement

Please include the following item on the City Commission Consent Agenda for consideration at the October 20, 2009 meeting.

Project Description

This project consists of a 10 ft wide concrete path for pedestrian and bicyclists extending along the south side of Clinton Parkway from Inverness to K-10 and along the north side of Clinton Parkway from K-10 to Lake Point Drive.  The concrete path will replace the existing 6 foot wide asphalt sidewalk, constructed in 1970, which is severely cracked and broken.  Two additional sections: north side of Clinton Parkway from Inverness to Kasold and north side of Clinton Parkway from Hartford to Inverness will be bid as alternates, to be considered if low base bid is under KDOT’s award amount.

Project History

Clinton Parkway Shared-Use path project was selected by the Kansas Department of Transportation for Transportation Enhancement (TE) funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The award amount is fixed at $800,750.00

Project Funding

The project is a reimbursable grant paid up front by the city and reimbursed 100% by KDOT with no city funds up to the award amount of $800,750.00.  The project cost does not include the cost of engineering design or construction engineering services.  Public Works staff is designing the project in-house and will be providing construction inspection.   No property acquisition is required.

Project Status / Schedule

City staff is currently working on final design of the project.  Plans are expected to be complete by November 2009 with a letting date in December 2009.  Construction will begin in Spring 2010.
