Dear Mr. Soules:
I am pleased to announce that your Geometric Improvement
project at the intersection of K-10 and Harper Street has been selected for
funding and will be included as part of the Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT) Local Partnership Program. This is one of 26 projects selected from 63
applications this year.
The enactment of the Comprehensive Transportation Program
by the 1999 Legislature allowed the continuation of the Local Partnership
Program, which has been in existence since 1986. Through this program, KDOT
funds approximately $12 million annually for geometric improvement and economic
development projects across the state. These improvements couldn't have
happened without local partners and KDOT working together. Over the past five
years, 114 projects totaling nearly $94 million have been initiated through
this program with KDOT funding approximately $64 million in improvements and
local governments, $30 million.
Your project has been programmed for FY 2008, and KDOT's
Bureau of Local Projects will be contacting you regarding the process to get it
underway. Please see the attached letter for further details regarding your
project's funding. We appreciate your application to the Local Partnership
Program. By combining resources, KDOT and you, our local partners, are making a
difference in improving the State's transportation system.
Sincerely,
DEB MILLER
Secretary of
Transportation

Dear Mr. Soules:
Congratulations on the approval of
your Geometric Improvement project at the intersection of K-10 and Harper
Street. Your project will be included in the Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT) fiscal year 2008 Geometric Improvement Program.
KDOT has approved funds for this
project based on an estimate for the total project cost of $294,000. The
state's participation will be 80 percent of the actual total participating
project construction and construction engineering costs. The city will be
responsible for the remaining construction and construction engineering costs along
with all preliminary engineering, right-of-way and utility costs. The costs
associated with construction, construction engineering and contingencies may be
considered in the final cost provided KDOT approved procedures are followed.
KDOT will assist in determining associated costs that receive the state's
participation. Please note that KDOT's preliminary engineering and construction
engineering expenses for plan review and development and KDOT's project
construction expenses will be included in the final project cost.
The city will be responsible for
plan preparation; however the project plans will require review by KDOT's
Bureau of Local Projects for compliance with KDOT's procedures and
requirements. Before proceeding with any plan preparation activities, either by
the city or by a consultant-engineering firm, it is imperative that you consult
with the Bureau of Local Projects in order to follow the proper consultant
selection procedures.
