Summary
Council approved a Transportation Development District (TDD) project for concrete street replacements and voted to increase the EMIRE contracting agreement by $664,339.70 (including contingency) for the 2025 concrete slab replacement project; TDD board approval remains required for funding sign-off.
KIRKWOOD, Mo. — The City Council authorized the first project to be funded by the Kirkwood Transportation Development District, approving concrete street replacement on four city streets, and approved an amendment increasing the EMIRE Contracting amount by $664,339.70 (including a 10% contingency) for the 2025 concrete slab replacement project.
Council members said the city will place signs identifying projects funded by the TDD on the streets and that the TDD board (composed of two city council members and two members appointed from the Special Business District) must approve TDD funding before work begins. One TDD member was present at the meeting.
The EMIRE contract amendment raises that project’s not‑to‑exceed amount to approximately $1.298 million (including contingency). Councilmembers described the price as reasonable for four concrete cul‑de‑sacs and emphasized coordination with the TDD board before final execution.
Both measures passed by unanimous vote; staff said the work is intended to move forward pending TDD board approval and contract execution.
