Please include the following item on the City Commission Consent Agenda for consideration at the April 13, 2010 meeting.

Background

The “KLINK” resurfacing program of the Kansas Department of Transportation is intended to assist the local governments with the maintenance and upkeep of the City Connecting Links of the State Highway System (K-10, Hwy-59 and Hwy-40).

KDOT contributes 50% of the cost of construction and construction inspection services, up to a maximum amount of $200,000.00. The city is responsible for the remaining cost of construction and construction inspection services. The city is also responsible for 100% of the cost of engineering design services; typically, city staff provides the engineering design services and prepares the construction plans and specifications. Construction inspection is also provided by city staff.

- In 2007, two sections of Iowa Street (23^rd Street to Irving Hill Road overpass, Yale Road to 6^th Street) received mill and overlay under the KLINK program. (KLINK Funding received: $200,000.00)

- In 2008, mill and overlay of Iowa street (23^rd Street to 31^st Street) was also partially funded through the KLINK program. (KLINK Funding received: $200,000.00)

- In 2009, mill and overlay of W 23^rd Street (Ousdahl Road to Barker Avenue ) was completed as a KLINK project. (KLINK Funding received: $186,773)
