Commission approves three‑party agreement to begin design of Sand Creek bike path extension
Summary
The commission approved a three‑party agreement with KDOC (as referenced in the packet) and consultant PEC so PEC can begin design work for the Sand Creek bike path extension following an earlier RFQ and grant opportunity.
The Newton City Commission approved a three‑party agreement that allows consultant PEC to begin design work on the Sand Creek bike path extension. Staff said the opportunity originated after KDOT approached the city regarding a grant opportunity and that the city selected PEC after a request-for-qualifications process in March 2025.
Staff described the agreement as the final step to authorize PEC to proceed with preliminary and design tasks; all parties reviewed the draft agreement and the city, PEC and the referenced KDOC entity had completed their internal checks. A commissioner moved to approve the agreement and the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff said the action allows the project to move forward to design and subsequent grant and construction phases as permitted by available funding.
