Summary
The board authorized the mayor to execute a construction contract with Lampkey Trenching and Excavating for intersection improvements at First Street and Osage; Public Works outlined tentative construction timeline.
The Board of Aldermen on July 15 authorized the mayor to execute a construction contract for improvements at the First Street and Osage intersection with Lampkey Trenching and Excavating (Resolution 2025‑17).
The clerk read the resolution authorizing the mayor to execute the contract. Alderman Lesh moved the resolution and Alderman Kelly seconded; the board approved the action by voice vote. Public Works Commissioner Bergman said the plan is to issue a notice to proceed on Feb. 15 with a tentative completion date of May 15, subject to scheduling and weather.
Bergman also updated the board on the larger Union Street project (from Sancre to Neosho): the plan and funding submission to MoDOT has been made; staff updated plans with consultant Cochran and expect MoDOT approval to permit fall bidding with water‑main and storm work likely this winter and curb, sidewalk and overlay work next spring. Bergman estimated the Union Street project will be approximately a six‑month construction effort once under contract.
What comes next: Staff will finalize contract paperwork for execution and coordinate the notice to proceed and scheduling with the contractor; MoDOT review will determine Union Street timing and bid schedule.
