Council unanimously approves bridge, curb and environmental contracts and a contract modification
Summary
Lee’s Summit City Council unanimously adopted five ordinances on June 16 approving a professional‑services increase for Raintree bridge engineering, awarding the Raintree Spillway Bridge bid, awarding a curb‑repair contract, adopting a crack‑seal change order and awarding an on‑call environmental engineering RFQ.
Lee’s Summit City Council on June 16 unanimously adopted five ordinances that award construction and professional services contracts and approve a contract modification for city infrastructure projects.
The council approved: (1) a modification to the Great River Engineering agreement for Raintree Bridge engineering services — an increase of $64,605 bringing the amended not‑to‑exceed total to $137,385; (2) an award to Concrete Strategies LLC for the Raintree Spillway Bridge Deck Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $1,161,870.65; (3) an award to Freeman Concrete Construction LLC for the FY‑26 curb‑repair program in the amount of $3,395,895; (4) change order No. 1 to the FY‑25 crack‑seal contract with Pavement Management LLC for a decrease of $5,093.55 (revising the contract to $291,906.45) and a 162‑calendar‑day extension to the project timeline; and (5) an award of RFQ 2025‑051 to Stearns, Conrad and Schmidt (SCS Engineers) for on‑call environmental professional engineering services (one‑year contract with up to four one‑year renewals).
How the council acted: each item was brought forward for second reading and adoption according to the agenda. Council members made the routine motions to move items to second reading and to adopt; each ordinance passed on a unanimous recorded vote.
Quotes and context: Councilmember Carlisle, who read and moved the Raintree Spillway Bridge award, noted the item traces to earlier procurement and design work. Councilmember Hodges read the environmental RFQ award and explained it authorizes the city manager to execute the on‑call contract.
What it means: the Raintree Bridge awards and the curb‑repair contract represent multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar to multi‑million‑dollar capital projects that the city will deliver in coming months. The crack‑seal change order lowers that contract price slightly while extending the timeline. The on‑call environmental services contract gives staff an established vendor for environmental engineering support on future projects.
Vote records and motions (summary): each ordinance was approved at second reading and then adopted by formal motion; the council vote was unanimous on each item.
