Shawnee council awards $7.7 million contract for Shawnee Mission Parkway, approves 2026 CIP
Summary
The Shawnee City Council unanimously awarded a $7,700,000 contract for a mill-and-overlay on Shawnee Mission Parkway and approved the city's 2026 Capital Improvement Plan, which includes stormwater projects with matching funds from Johnson County and funding for two new fire stations.
The Shawnee City Council unanimously approved a $7,700,000 bid to Superior Bone Asphalt Company for a mill-and-overlay of Shawnee Mission Parkway from K 7 to Lachman Road and adopted the city's 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Doug Donahue, the city's communications director, reported the council’s action and the value of the awarded bid. The council also approved the 2026 CIP in an 8-0 vote; the plan allocates funding for several stormwater projects (with matching funds from Johnson County), two street improvement projects, parks and recreation work, and construction funding for fire stations 72 and 74.
Why it matters: the mill-and-overlay project covers a major arterial and the CIP channels capital spending for the coming year, including infrastructure intended to reduce flood risk and to maintain public safety facilities. The council’s votes clear contracting and budget priorities so staff can proceed with procurement and project scheduling.
Votes at a glance: - Shawnee Mission Parkway mill-and-overlay contract: award to Superior Bone Asphalt Company, $7,700,000; recorded as a unanimous vote (approved). - 2026 Capital Improvement Plan: approved by a vote of 8 to 0.
