Haysville council approves street program, multiple public‑works contracts and grant actions
Summary
Council approved the 2025 street program, awarded paving and waterline contracts, accepted grants and authorized multiple capital purchases; staff presented the street evaluation methodology and prioritized remaining gravel roads for paving.
The Haysville City Council on April 14 approved a package of public‑works and parks actions including the 2025 street program, bids for paving remaining gravel streets, a Sunnyside water main replacement contract, and several parks and capital purchases.
Street program and gravel roads
City public‑works staff presented the 2025 street‑evaluation process, describing a parcelized pavement condition rating for 518 segments and a heat‑map prioritization that emphasizes poorer‑rated and higher‑traffic segments. Council approved the 2025 Street Program as presented. Staff said remaining gravel roads targeted for paving include Emmett Avenue, Sunnyside Road, Twin Pines and Dockwood and that paving will be funded from the city’s street sales tax.
The council also authorized the city to accept the bid from Barclay Construction LLC for paving the listed gravel streets for $620,037.50.
Sunnyside water main and sewer rehabilitation
Council authorized award of the Sunnyside Water Main Replacement to Meese Construction for $210,287, after an engineer’s estimate of $233,520. Staff said the project was budgeted and will proceed under wastewater/water capital funds.
The council approved a cured‑in‑place pipe contract to rehabilitate roughly 1,400 linear feet of sanitary sewer with Mayor Specialty Services LLC for $44,085.62; staff noted the amount in the meeting memo had an error and read an amended figure at the microphone.
Parks, playgrounds and grants
Council approved park and recreation purchases and grant actions: an Angel of Hope memorial expansion contract with Brad Murray Inc. for $14,450; acceptance of a 2025 waste‑tire grant to purchase recycled playground swing mats and picnic tables (total purchase $17,016 with $8,908 reimbursable); and authorization to purchase accessible playground equipment for Colonial Park with park‑board funding up to $83,000. The park board had approved the waste‑tire and playground items earlier and staff confirmed procurement will follow usual purchasing rules.
Doerner Park slurry seal and antique light poles
Council approved a slurry seal contract for Doerner Park with South Central Paving & Sealing (one bid received). Staff described the price as a slight increase over prior years; the council approved the award. The council also authorized purchase of 10 antique light pole assemblies from American Streetscape Lighting to replenish repair stock; the purchase will be paid from capital improvements funds.
Personnel, grants and routine agreements
The council approved revisions to the personnel manual (effective April 13), authorized designated signatories to administer CDBG home‑rehabilitation grant payments to meet state turnaround requirements, continued the immunization and screening services agreement with Sedgwick County, and received the first‑quarter economic development report.
Appointments and next steps
Council appointed Eli Ruta Vega to the park board for a two‑year term and reappointed Susie Sutton to the Sedgwick County Fire District No. 1 steering council for a four‑year term. Staff said project procurement and contract awards will follow the city’s purchasing policies and that many capital items approved will be paid from dedicated funds (street sales tax, park tax, capital improvements or department funds).
Where the meeting record contained inconsistent dollar figures in the staff memo or during oral presentation, staff clarified amounts on the record before council votes; the council approved the motions as presented.
