The motion approved a package of smaller, spread-out candidates rather than a single large neighborhood. The motion (as moved and seconded during the meeting) listed the selected locations as: the 1 Second Street cul-de-sac within the Indian Heights Estates subdivision; Quail Ridge subdivision; Warrington Estates subdivision; selected cul-de-sacs within the Galway and Main subdivision; and Arrowhead and Beaver subdivision. The motion passed 6–0.

Staff described how selections were data-driven, using pavement condition index (PCI), failure frequency, age, prior maintenance history and other infrastructure elements (sidewalks, lighting, contiguous grouping) to identify candidates. Staff noted the 2027 program budget is $9,400,000 and that larger budgets are planned in later years (the 2028 program is shown at about $16,750,000 and 2032 at about $17,120,000 in the packet). Staff said the city has previously mapped useful-life needs (a 2021 map identified roughly 58 lane miles in need at that time) and that the city has made progress since then.

Committee members asked how overlay work and reconstruction candidates interact. Staff explained that overlay projects mill and pave the surface and that those operations can identify deeper base issues; if a segment requires full reconstruction it will remain on the reconstruction list rather than receive an overlay. Committee members also asked whether small areas shown in “immediate need” would be covered by neighboring overlay work; staff said scoping decisions are made to minimize cost-inefficient piecemeal reconstruction but noted isolated critical sections may require separate action.

Timing: If approved by council, staff will issue a request for proposals for design services, return to the committee with a recommended designer, and proceed with a design schedule intended to support construction in 2027. Staff said design will take roughly 1½–2 years.

Why it matters: Neighborhood reconstruction replaces failing pavement and associated infrastructure (curbs, sidewalks) and represents multi-year capital investment. The committee framed these selections as a way to address immediate needs while preserving capacity to tackle larger neighborhoods as budgets increase in later years.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Overland Park - Public Works Committee - Mar 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved a list of small, scattered neighborhood reconstruction candidates for the 2027 program and directed staff to proceed with design procurement; the 2027 program budget is about $9.4 million and larger budgets are forecast in later years.","taxTitle","Overland Park, Johnson County, Kansas","taxId",4679,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6622276,"Lime ends shared small-vehicle pilot in Overland Park; staff to seek alternatives for 2026",121,249000,370000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2787258-624c91572ecd2bada9d2f058f134a748&start=249&end=370","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2787258-624c91572ecd2bada9d2f058f134a748/thumbnail_249000.jpg","/articles/6622276/Overland-Park/Johnson-County/Kansas/Lime-ends-shared-small-vehicle-pilot-in-Overland-Park-staff-to-seek-alternatives-for-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6622276-60b3b6bbf9a7157a857799749ac70e76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150873&Signature=VL5xitgby2k~JRBMn2IdJ8MysUd2n4wvmYTZ8U7xyDaHgMfUVBjR0NnncKGcMT5m-Ew9opHu9uWd8~LK03O0dg8XRJqRRb3fNbD1Vm-2OswEHC~v0oGY0gN9qadqxQkHmvszrEda16GcM2RAb4o~l40tfa40jre2Xx2cqjPHtcSRdNi56ymdPndHq7BqTdtoynuz5eiOgTLvu1iFGbp0A6AYL3zkxYNwFKjB2ZTqy4~5UHSkJo1kLZFnxh0j0jfQX8PyfhaG1yBuqlkKHXTbGUlwk~QyosUqZpfiW-uYzvCHS3yfMbFhxjuJMLdgjvdgcWSPrCda6~u~YcxBGKaQBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lorraine, public works staff, told the committee that Lime has notified the city it will no longer operate its shared small-vehicle pilot in Overland Park. The pilot had begun under an April 2024 agreement that deployed about 200 e-scooters and e-bikes in the city, and staff said they will spend the remainder of 2025 evaluating other options with hopes of starting a replacement program in 2026.

Lorraine said staff were encouraged by 2024 usage data but that Lime did not provide a specific reason for exiting: “No specific reason was given, so we can only speculate,” she said. Staff noted possible causes could include ridership levels, deployment logistics, or company strategic changes, but emphasized the company did not identify a cause during the notification.

Committee members said they were disappointed but supportive of seeking a replacement. One committee member noted there still appeared to be demand for shared small-vehicle service and urged staff to pursue alternatives; another observed that privately owned scooters in the community might have affected shared-service ridership.

Background and data: Staff reported the April 2024 launch deployed approximately 200 e-scooters and e-bikes within city boundaries. Staff cited usage data from 2024 when describing the pilot's local performance; specific trip totals were discussed in the meeting packet and by staff during the presentation.

Next steps: Staff told the committee it will use 2025 to explore other vendors or program structures with the goal of relaunching a shared small-vehicle program in 2026, if a viable partner is found.

Why it matters: Shared micro-mobility programs can expand first-mile/last-mile options and affect traffic patterns and curb space; losing an operator mid-pilot pauses the city's data-driven assessment of longer-term program viability.","City staff told the Public Works Committee that Lime has notified Overland Park it will cease operating the city’s shared small-vehicle pilot.

All motions passed by recorded voice votes of 6–0.

The committee recommended awarding the 2024 Major Storm Sewer Repair Project (MS-1926) to BF Anderson Builders LLC. City staff presented a bid of $1,992,642.25; the formal motion recorded a contract amount of $1,999,642.25 and carried 6–0. Staff said there were two bidders and that BF Anderson had satisfactorily completed previous storm sewer and storm drainage projects for the city. An engineering estimate earlier presented to the committee was substantially higher, which staff said reflected conservative assumptions related to lining and difficult access.

The committee recommended awarding the 2025 Street Improvement Project — Overlay (MR-3094) to Superior Bowen Asphalt Company LLC for $20,529,276.78. Staff told the committee Superior Bowen was the lone responsive bidder and has completed work for the city before; staff said the low bid was roughly $1.1 million below the engineer’s estimate after field verification of curb, sidewalk and full-depth asphalt needs. The motion passed 6–0.

The committee recommended awarding the 2025 UBAS (urban base/arterial surface) project (MR-3095) to McEnany Construction Inc. for $9,317,224.80. Staff reported the low bid was considerably below the engineer’s estimate and that the firm had performed prior UBAS work for the city. Committee members noted this includes Santa Fe (the downtown road diet pilot) and other thoroughfare segments.

The committee recommended awarding the 2025 Street Repair — Asphalt Patching project (MR-3198) to McConnell and Associates Corporation for $153,000. Staff said three bids were received and that McConnell had performed similar work for the city in 2024; the contract will be used primarily to prepare streets slated for chip-seal preservation.

The committee recommended council approval to purchase a 2025 regenerative air street sweeper from Aviation Logistics Corp. (doing business as Armor Equipment) for $376,875. Staff said the Timco regenerative air sweeper matches the existing fleet for parts and maintenance consistency; delivery was estimated at 180–365 days.

Finally, the committee recommended authorizing asphalt-concrete purchases from previously approved vendors in an amount not to exceed $750,000 to support chip-seal and repair work. Staff said this authorization establishes an upper-limit, high-end estimate and that funds will be encumbered incrementally as work locations are confirmed.

- Asphalt-concrete purchases (various approved vendors): not to exceed $750,000; outcome: recommend council approval, passed 6–0.

Why it matters: The approvals fund the city’s 2025 pavement-preservation and stormwater work, add one replacement fleet unit and secure material purchasing authority for preservation and repair operations. Committee members repeatedly told staff they were encouraged by competition on bids where received, but raised concerns when only a single bidder responded on large projects.

Committee discussion and clarifications: Staff said engineer’s estimates for some projects were conservative and, in several cases, the low bid was substantially below that estimate. Staff also explained how selected overlay lanes and patching relate to the chip-seal preservation program and that some planned thoroughfare construction may be deferred by change order to preserve overall program budgets.

What’s next: The committee’s recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for final contract awards and budget authorizations.","At its March meeting the Overland Park Public Works Committee recommended council approval of storm sewer repairs, major overlay and resurfacing contracts, asphalt patching, a street sweeper purchase and an asphalt-concrete materials authorization; all motions passed unanimously, 6–0.","actionData","errors"]
