The Arkansas City Commission authorized the city to enter agreement number 884-24 with Smith and Oaks Inc. and the Kansas Department of Transportation for federal-aid construction engineering services on the city's hike-bike trail project 18TE-0471-01.

City staff explained the action assigns Smith and Oaks to provide construction inspection services for the trail extension from Parson Park to the south end; the inspection cost of $130,000 was already included in the project's budget and in a prior agreement the commission approved.

The motion to approve the resolution was made and passed by voice vote; commissioners did not raise further substantive questions during the item.

Staff indicated construction activity is scheduled in the March–June timeframe, and the agreement clarifies the responsibilities for inspection and federal-aid compliance between the city, KDOT and the consultant firm.
