Background:
This Project will extend a commercial/industrial roadway, Browning Street, along a planned alignment to Hamblen Road. It includes two 18 FT lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter, a turn lane at Hamblen, an enclosed storm drainage system, pavement marking, signing, possible relocation of a water main along Hamblen Road and any other conflicting underground utilities including, but not limited to, KCP&L, Google Fiber, AT&T, Lee’s Summit School District, sewer, Spire Gas, Time Warner, and Charter.
The purpose of this Project is to complete a roadway network gap that will improve access to the area between Hamblen Road and the Union Pacific Railroad, south of US 50 Hwy and north of Bailey Road. This will provide an alternate route in lieu of Oldham Parkway and improve access to existing industrial and commercial development as well as promote re-development and facilitate access management along Hamblen Rd at Oldham Parkway in support of future improvements at the MO-291 North Junction at US 50 Hwy Interchange.
Public Works Engineering advertised for bids for the construction of Project No. 568-323-78 on March 14, 2022. Potential bidders were notified through QuestCDN, on the City website, and an email solicitation was sent to contractors who have been engaged with the City. Three (3) responsive bids was received by the April 14, 2022 bid opening date.
