Council approves gas-line relocation and authorizes bids for Cheyenne Road multi-use path
Summary
Council approved a $12,736 agreement with Spire Missouri to relocate gas lines that conflict with the Cheyenne Road multi-use path and authorized solicitation of construction bids after federal and state review cleared the project for funding eligibility.
Street Superintendent Jeff Rassau told council final construction-plan review for the Cheyenne Road multi-use path found an existing gas line in conflict with a planned pedestrian bridge footing. To start construction Rassau recommended executing a facility relocation and adjustment agreement with Spire Missouri Inc. to move the line approximately 90 feet at a cost not to exceed $12,736. The council voted to approve the agreement.
Rassau also reported that Olsen and Associates completed archaeological studies, the construction plans were reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration and the state transportation department, and environmental reviews are complete. "All environmental reviews have been done, and so we are now eligible for construction or construction funding," Rassau said, and staff asked the council to authorize solicitation of construction bids. Council approved the resolution to solicit bids, and staff said the project could take multiple years to secure and expend federal funding.
The actions at the meeting included a small relocation expense to clear a utility conflict and formal authorization to solicit bids on the Cheyenne multi-use path project, which staff said will prioritize building a parking area and an outer loop trail based on available funds.
