Olathe board considers contracts for Operations Service Center upgrades
The 2022 bond project would add a second transportation center and renovate the West Dennis campus as departments move.
OLATHE - The Olathe Board of Education's Nov. 12 agenda included contracts to start a 2022 bond project at the Operations Service Center and West Dennis Learning Center campus, according to the official packet from Olathe Public Schools.
Items 7.05 and 7.06, submitted by Director of Facilities and Bond Construction David Dikeman and Deputy Superintendent of Organizational Operations Jim McMullen, called for the board to approve a construction-management proposal for the campus upgrades and to accept an abatement bid from Advanced Environmental. The agenda says the 2022 bond issue funds a second transportation center at the campus and renovations as other departments move into the new Olathe Public Schools Innovation Campus.
The agenda and a bond update in the same packet say construction is scheduled to start in December 2026 and finish in summer 2027, with abatement work anticipated to start in November. The packet does not name the construction-management firm or list the contract amounts. Official minutes of Thursday's meeting had not been posted as of Friday.
