The mill and overlay projects that Superior Bowen is now tasked with completing this summer are at the following locations: Metcalf Road, from 287th Street to about one-half mile south of 335th Street 335th Street, from Metcalf Road to U.S. Highway 69 247th Street, from U.S. Highway 69 to State Line Road Old Kansas City Road, from U.S. Highway 169 north to the Osawatomie city limits. Matt Oehlert, project manager with Road and Bridge, told commissioners the winning bid is higher than the $1,836,173.16 budgeted for the contract work — creating a deficit of $241,239.37. When design and construction engineering costs are factored in, the project swells to $2,108,000. Chair Rob Roberts asked Oehlert how Road and Bridge planned to cover the overage. Oehlert said when the revenue sources for the contract and in-house portions of the 2022 asphalt program are combined, the county has enough money to cover the deficit. The in-house project — including overlay, chip and seal, patching and road oil — is $1,578,740. Together, the contract and in-house projects total $3,686,740, he said. Oehlert said the budget line items available for the road rehabilitation program are: asphalt, $2,950,000; cash carry over, $250,000; transfers, $450,000, and federal funds exchange, $220,000. Together, those line items total $3,870,000. The project manager told commissioners the 2022 asphalt program has a slim cushion of $183,260. _____________________ The Contractor is notified that the project time limit is 30 working days to Substantial Completion.
