Attached is a task order for design, bidding, and construction phase services for the Nall Ave STP project. Staff applied for federal funding through MARC in 2022 that allows applicants to receive funding up to 80% of the construction cost for the project and the city being responsible for 20%. The application submitted reflected the city asking for 80% or $734K of the project cost. The MARC committee reviewed many funding applications and Roeland Park was successfully awarded 90% of the 80% funding request equating to $660K.
Nall Ave is classified a major collector street. The project will include sidewalk maintenance and ADA enhancements, curb maintenance, base repairs, mill & overlay, pavement markings as well as signage for Share the Road. The bicycle infrastructure strategy plan currently shows this corridor to have dedicated bike lanes, however there is not enough street width to add dedicated bike lanes. Other factors include limited ROW on the north end of the project and most of the homes are close to the street and would cause extensive reconstruction to driveways adding significant increases to project costs.
This project would typically be managed by KDOT since federal funding is involved, however the city has met the compliance requirements by the Buruea of Local Projects to administer the project locally with oversight from KDOT.. The total cost for the project is $1,04mm for design and construction with the city receiving $660K of federal funding toward construction. The city's portion of construction is $257K |
