Raytown Board approves grant support and several construction and engineering contracts
Summary
The Board authorized a not-to-exceed $110,000 concrete repair contract (HRC Management LLC), approved paired amendments to a stormwater construction contract (BF Anderson) and engineering agreement (Lamprey Nerson) tied to ARPA funds, and passed a resolution supporting a T‑Mobile Hometown Grant application up to $50,000 for the Raytown Main Street Association.
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Raytown Board of Aldermen approved several resolutions authorizing capital and grant‑related actions.
The Board voted to support the Raytown Main Street Association—s application for a T‑Mobile Hometown Grant (the application seeks up to $50,000) to refurbish the association—s downtown building as a hub for education, financial literacy and small‑business workshops. Jason Sneddon, vice chair of the Main Street Association, described the project and said the grant would support building repairs and programming.
On capital projects, staff recommended an agreement with HRC Management LLC for the city—s annual concrete repair program for a not‑to‑exceed amount of $110,000 (the low bid was approximately $92,000). The work covers ADA ramps, curb and gutter and sidewalk replacement in several neighborhoods (staff said locations include Norwood Court, portions of Blue Ridge Boulevard near Raytown Road and areas near Southwood Elementary). Aldermen requested the city provide a map of planned work locations.
The Board also approved paired adjustments to the 50 Ninth Street and Raytown Road stormwater project. Staff said oversight and unused contingency left ARPA‑funded capacity that can be repurposed: they proposed a contract reduction with BF Anderson Builders while increasing scope elsewhere and increasing the Lamprey Nerson professional services agreement to provide additional engineering oversight. Staff stated the Lamprey Nerson amendment raises the engineering contract to a total not to exceed $248,000 for fiscal year 2024‑25; the BF Anderson amendment was described on the record as a reduction and reallocation tied to ARPA reporting requirements. Staff said some additional mill/overlay work (roughly 4.3 lane miles by staff—s account) was being added while ensuring ARPA tracking requirements are met.
Each measure was moved, seconded and approved by roll call at the meeting. Staff said work for the concrete repair would occur in fall (October–November, possibly December) and that ARPA‑funded stormwater work is being scheduled to meet funding timelines.
