Title
INTERGOVERNMENTAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ROCKFORD TOWNSHIP TO PROVIDE ROAD MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
Presented by: Justin Waggoner, Assistant County Counselor.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Take the action deemed appropriate by the Board of County Commissioners.
Body
Some of Rockford Township’s (“Township”) unpaved roads are presently in poor condition and the Township lacks the resources to immediately repair or maintain these roads.
K.S.A. 68-572 contemplates that counties and townships may enter into agreements for the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of roads or streets. The proposed agreement would essentially establish a framework under which the Township board could identify specific road(s) for maintenance, along with the requested maintenance services. This would be conveyed to Sedgwick County as a request for quote (“RFQ”). The County would then provide a quote for the requested work so that it could be considered by the Township board in the form of a draft agreement. Any final approval on an agreement would be by the Board of County Commissioners.
In order to enter into any such agreement, the Township would have to have sufficient funding on-hand at the time the agreement would be entered into.
Alternatives: Not to enter into the agreement or to amend the agreement draft.
Financial Considerations: N/A - any financial impact would stem from potential subsequent agreements entered into as a result of the framework proposed in this agreement.
Legal Considerations: Sedgwick County and the Township can enter into an agreement for services pursuant to K.S.A. 12-2908. Furthermore, K.S.A. 68-572 contemplates that counties and townships may enter into agreements for the construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of roads or streets.
