Woodside Neighborhood Improvements Project

The City of Olathe, Kansas, through its Engineering Division, is seeking design services for the Woodside Neighborhood Street Improvements Project as part of its 2027 Reconstruction Program. The procurement is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for comprehensive street improvement design services covering W Ashbury Street, W Fairwood Lane, N Troost Street, and W Woodside Drive. The project requires a design firm to provide full engineering services, including survey and utility coordination, construction plan preparation, and compliance with city and state specifications. Deliverables include detailed construction plans, documents, and engineering support throughout the construction phase. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point system: 10 points for proposal adherence, 30 points for project understanding and approach, 30 points for relevant experience, 15 points for staff and availability, and 15 points for project schedule. Electronic proposals are due by 12:00 PM on October 31, 2025, with a tentative project timeline from November 2025 to March 2027, including a City Council contract award on January 6, 2026, and a construction notice to proceed on March 1, 2027.

The RFQ requires the selected design firm to provide a registered professional engineer licensed in Kansas and meet specific insurance requirements, including commercial general liability, business auto coverage, workers compensation, and professional liability with specified minimum coverage amounts. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are mentioned, the firm must demonstrate comprehensive engineering capabilities and local infrastructure knowledge. The document does not specify an exact award value or budget range for the project. The selection process involves a committee review and ranking, with one design firm to be chosen based on the comprehensive evaluation criteria. The successful respondent will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits and providing technical expertise throughout the street improvement project, which involves removing existing streets, installing subgrade improvements, asphalt pavement, concrete curb and gutter, driveway approaches, sidewalks, ADA ramps, streetlight installation, and stormwater improvements in the Woodside neighborhood.
