The agenda listed a proposed contract amendment for $3,599,030 with HGR Engineering for JCW Integrated Plan Program Services, increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount to $18,913,030. Tammy Lorenzen, a JCW staff member, said the integrated planning framework helps prioritize competing investment needs and allows the utility to sequence work with flexibility under the Clean Water Act. \"The integrated planning framework allows utilities to capitalize on the flexibilities that exist within the Clean Water Act for the sequencing and scheduling of work,\" Lorenzen said.

Lorenzen highlighted 2024 program accomplishments, including new key performance indicators for treatment and pumping operations, a warehouse workflow pilot that reduced crew downtime, and programs targeting infiltration and inflow (I&I) reductions such as the JOCO inflow program and a manhole rehabilitation program. She said the county is either meeting or exceeding I&I reduction goals in most areas and that the integrated plan is producing cost savings.

Lorenzen cited two financing savings estimates included in the presentation: $133 million in projected interest savings on Nelson financing by using State Revolving Fund (SRF) and WIFIA loans instead of GEO bonds over the life of the loans, and $278 million in cost savings identified through base and capacity processes compared with previously recommended alternatives. She said the third-party work under the contract will continue to support design, asset management and project execution as the county moves into phase 2 of the program.

Commissioners asked questions about continuity, phasing, and whether the federal changes to WIFIA would affect the executed loan agreement; Lorenzen said she and staff had not heard of any issues with the WIFIA loans. Commissioner Allenbrand and Commissioner Hansley praised the transparency and level of detail in the materials and were directed to the program website (JCWprogram.com) for the full phase 2 report and an executive summary. At the agenda review close, the board opted to bring the item forward as an action item for the March 13 business session.

The agenda text referred to \"HGR Engineering\" for the amendment; a later remark in the presentation referenced \"HDR's contract.\" The agenda copy provided to the board lists HGR Engineering; the transcript contains the inconsistent reference. The board’s final authorization, if approved, will be taken at the March 13 business session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Agenda Review for March 13, 2025, Business Session with Board of County Commissioners on March 6.","oneSentenceSummary","Johnson County staff requested a $3,599,030 amendment to the JCW integrated plan services contract, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $18,913,030; commissioners moved the item to the business session as an action item.","taxTitle","Johnson County, Kansas","taxId",2884,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6278832,"County to seek additional budget authority for Executive Airport fence; change order moved to consent",229,73845,303275,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2632162-716d332785eae44af6eea2d89b9efac2&start=73&end=303","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2632162-716d332785eae44af6eea2d89b9efac2/thumbnail_73845.jpg","/articles/6278832/Johnson-County/Kansas/County-to-seek-additional-budget-authority-for-Executive-Airport-fence-change-order-moved-to-consent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278832-8caa857641a51d1c6f73718a2db36db9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773529868&Signature=HJHOqP4lRzcXWnrBQJZ~iVKUPN7R3twq80Gk~3i2c0braNlREgeI7V2kZeQxGpVtVFWyhNp3~JUs2zAJ5rYt7aUxaBMiGG~~HSln1X04PK-yaN~eUnIUryCY9qKouNoqs3gc2C9szXKb5vismhg98atNLDz2PB8vorspZktVsUpp2aC9BYPKqDeQOVIXznO9hlRObJxxuuJWbEJ6rcugByIu7o26pdDpjc~K-cYc7QwIeJY6XLN2DoR6P85iS41QbcysWWg~CMjXhuJr3lPAdSAuywcSmIAovjK5-8Az6THbajJwoATvjs0TDessSqUk5UPFXDFXiXIfbrBp4FlAEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Johnson County officials on March 6 reviewed a proposed change order to add fencing at the Johnson County Executive Airport after receiving additional state grant funding.

The agenda review presentation asked the Board of County Commissioners to authorize a change order to the contract with Century Fence Company for additional fence replacement at the Executive Airport in an amount not to exceed $156,145 and to increase the total contract and project budget authority to an amount not to exceed $565,410 under Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 2024-058. \"We have had more success in securing an additional grant from the state of Kansas for a fence on ... the East Side of The Executive Airport,\" said Mr. Johnson, a staff member who presented the item.

The presenter told commissioners the grant and county outlay were accounted for in the airport commission’s budgeting process and that the combined grant totals leave a small excess that will be returned to the state. He described preconstruction meetings scheduled later in the week. \"By the time the grant application is submitted, by the time it's awarded, numbers do change,\" he said, describing the difference between earlier estimates and current figures.

Commissioner Allenbrand said the project is in his district and called the fence critical for safety, security and wildlife control. Commissioner Ashcraft asked for a clarification of the procurement language; the presenter said Century Fence Company was the \"most qualified low bidder.\" The item was not voted on at the agenda review; the board agreed to place the item on the business session consent agenda for March 13.

Votes at the agenda review were procedural: a clerk roll call confirmed all commissioners were present at the start of the meeting; no formal adoption votes on the change order occurred at agenda review. The county will consider final authorization during the March 13 business session when the consent agenda is taken up.

The clerk’s agenda copy lists IFB No. 2024-058 as the procurement document for the fence work.","Johnson County staff presented a proposed $156,145 change order to add fence at the Johnson County Executive Airport, funded in part by a state grant; commissioners moved the item to the March 13 business session consent agenda.","actionData","errors"]
