Raytown partners with Kansas City to mill and overlay 16 short street sections for $121,083
Summary
The Board approved a cooperative agreement with Kansas City, Missouri, to mill and overlay short street sections inside Raytown city limits for a not‑to‑exceed $121,083.27, allowing Raytown to piggyback on Kansas City's bulk paving contracts.
Raytown aldermen on Aug. 12 approved a cooperative paving agreement with the City of Kansas City, Missouri, to mill and overlay short sections of streets that cross or abut the municipal boundary.
City staff said Kansas City will perform milling and overlay on 16 short segments that stop inside Raytown — each short section costs roughly $7,600 — and will charge Raytown a not‑to‑exceed amount of $121,083.27. Staff noted KCMO attracts lower pricing from its contractor by purchasing large volumes and that piggybacking on the city’s work lets Raytown get small sections paved sooner than a standalone project.
Public works staff (referred to by the board as Jason) said the work includes neighborhoods east of Woodson and Westridge and a short section on Manchester. The contract uses KCMO’s contractor (JM Fahey) and should produce a mill‑and‑overlay product similar to other recent work in the metro. Aldermen discussed whether Raytown could increase the work scope if budget savings or transfers become available and noted remobilization fees contractors sometimes require.
The board approved the cooperative agreement on a roll call vote. The packet lists the action as a resolution authorizing the city administrator to cooperatively work with Kansas City for street resurfacing in FY24–25.
