Summary

Ordinance 260820 authorizes Kansas City’s Water Services Department to renew a $11.89 million, 365-day construction contract with Superior Bowen Asphalt Co. for emergency restoration after water-main, sewer, stormwater, and related infrastructure work. Repairs include streets, curbs, sidewalks, driveways, yards, traffic control, and ADA ramps across Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties. Funding comes from designated Water, Sewer, and Stormwater funds, with no anticipated future-year fiscal impact. The contract requires prevailing wages, bonds, rapid work-order response, public access, resident notifications, and traffic-safety measures. Although earlier documents identified MBE/WBE goals, Ordinance 260692 places the project in a transition period with no formal goals; CREO approved 12% subcontractor participation. The legislation also permits up to three additional renewals with Council approval.
