Summary
The Sedalia City Council approved a $665,292.71 engineering agreement with Wilson and Company to design and inspect improvements at the intersection of U.S. Highway 65, Plymouth Avenue and West 30‑Second Street, a project funded in part by a Missouri General Assembly appropriation.
Sedalia — The Sedalia City Council approved an ordinance authorizing an engineering agreement with Wilson and Company worth $665,292.71 to design and provide construction phase support for improvements at the intersection of U.S. Highway 65, Plymouth Avenue and West 30‑Second Street.
The project — funded in part by a Missouri General Assembly appropriation of $4,700,000 — will include traffic study, field survey, environmental review, public engagement and construction inspection. Public Works Chairwoman Franklin presented the item and said the contract follows the qualification‑based selection process coordinated with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
Council members voted in favor on final passage. The roll call recorded seven yes votes with one member absent.
Why it matters: City staff and council described the intersection as a significant local safety and mobility need; the design and inspection agreement is the next step before construction. The council previously included the project in its FY26 budget as a cost‑share undertaking.
Details: The agreement with Wilson and Company was the result of a qualification‑based selection process conducted in coordination with MoDOT. The scope in the contract covers engineering design, environmental review and construction phase services. The council’s action was recorded as Bill 2025‑103.
Context and next steps: With design services authorized, staff will proceed with engineering and public engagement required for the environmental review and final construction plans. The city indicated the project had been discussed in strategic planning sessions and included in the FY26 budget. No amendments or dissent were recorded during the readings and final vote.
Ending: Council members who voted yes were recorded in the roll call; the city will coordinate with MoDOT and the selected consultant on the next phases of design and permitting.
