HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, a resurfacing project located on Route BB in Audrain and Montgomery counties, from U.S. Route 54 to Missouri Route 161, is expected to begin as early as March 29.
The $4.7M contract, awarded last year to Magruder Paving, LLC of Troy, Missouri, includes several additional resurfacing projects scheduled to be completed by November 1, 2024:

Pike County, Route Y – From Business Route 61 in Bowling Green to the end of state maintenance (Complete)
Montgomery County, Route A – From Missouri Route 19 to Missouri Route 161 (In Progress)
Audrain/Montgomery County, Route AA – From Route BB to Missouri Route 19 in Wellsville (Mid-April start)

These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. With the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, an additional $100 million in General Revenue was made available for Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation identified 1,567 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in poor condition. These locations will receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions. The roads have been bundled into several large contracts across the state. For more information on the Governor’s Rural Roads Program, visit Governor’s Rural Roads Program | Missouri Department of Transportation (modot.org).
Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 9-foot width restriction at the location where crews are actively working. Flaggers and a pilot car will be utilized for traffic control to guide traffic through the work zone. Workers will be present during daylight hours. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
Work with us in the work zone. For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, drivers are reminded to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions. All work zones are online at www.modot.org/northeast, and you can receive the latest news about road work in your area by signing up for e-updates.

Sean McNamara’s “On Fire” film is the first to use the new Show MO Motion Media Tax Credit

March 28, 2024

Jefferson City

The inspirational story of a St. Louis native who overcomes near-fatal burn injuries was the first feature film to receive funding through Missouri’s Show MO Motion Media Tax Credit, also known as the Show MO Act.In-Missouri spending for the production of “On Fire” totaled nearly $6.9 million over 19 days of filming that predominantly took place in St. Louis. During production, which included a day filming in Jefferson City, more than 550 Missourians were employed in roles ranging from day-players to crew members.The film received $2.75 million in tax credits through the Show MO Act, which is administered by the Missouri Film Office and the Department of Economic Development (DED).Spanning the mid-1980s through the early 2010s, “On Fire” is based on the true story of St. Louis native John O’Leary. At age 9, O’Leary was burned on 100 percent of his body and given a one percent chance of survival.While hospitalized, O’Leary was visited by Jack Buck, the legendary voice of the St. Louis Cardinals. The film examines the bond between O’Leary and Buck and O’Leary’s life, including his recovery, college years, and rise as an author and motivational speaker.

“On Fire” lead actor Joel Courtney and former Cardinals baseball player Ozzie Smith on location filming at Busch Stadium.

“We’re thrilled that a Missouri story with such an inspiring message is the first to utilize incentives through the Show MO Act,” said Andrea Sporcic-Klund, Director of the Missouri Film Office. “We believe this production will be a springboard to other major motion pictures filming in Missouri.””On Fire” was produced and directed by Sean McNamara, whose expansive body of work includes “Soul Surfer” and “The Miracle Season,” both of which are inspirational films with sports ties. McNamara noted that “On Fire” is the first of many films he would be interested in filming in Missouri.”We are so proud and honored to be one of the first films to participate with the new Missouri tax credit,” said McNamara. “I look forward to future collaboration.”In October 2023, the Missouri Film Office and DED launched the Show MO Motion Media Tax Credit Program, which offers a transferrable tax credit of 20 to 42 percent to eligible motion media projects. The program has an annual cap of $16 million with $8 million designated for feature films and $8 million for series.The production’s spending of nearly $6.9 million in Missouri covered costs associated with wages for cast and crew, payment to local vendors, location fees, catering costs, and more. The production used 1,636 hotel room nights between October and December 2023.In reporting to the Missouri Film Office, Radically Inspired LLC, the production company behind “On Fire,” said it hired Missourians to fill 20 day-player acting positions, 145 crew positions, and 410 background performer positions. For at least nine Missouri resident crew members, this was their first opportunity to work on a feature film.About the Missouri Film OfficeSince 1983, the Missouri Film Office has worked to develop, coordinate and market the film industry and film-related activities in Missouri. The Missouri Film Office serves as the official central point of contact for all statewide inquiries: film, TV shows/segments, commercials, web content, and digital media production.To learn more about the Missouri Film Office, visit MoFilm.org.About the Missouri Department of Economic DevelopmentThe Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) works to create an environment that encourages economic growth by supporting Missouri’s businesses and diverse industries, strengthening our communities, developing a talented and skilled workforce, and maintaining a high quality of life.

MoDOT to host open-house public meeting, two-week comment period

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is hosting an open-house public meeting and comment period for a project to rehabilitate the Missouri Route 28 bridge over I-44 near St. Robert. Interested parties will have the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and provide input about the project during the open-house style meeting and open comment period.
The meeting will take place at the city hall in St. Robert, located at 194 Eastlawn Avenue. It will be an open-house meeting with no formal presentation. Those interested in the project may come and go as they like on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions, explain meeting exhibits, and provide project information.
The 63-year-old bridge has stood the test of time with only minor improvements to the driving surface. The bridge’s deck and superstructure need more substantial repairs. These changes will enhance drivability, traffic flow and increase the lifespan of the bridge. The exact timing of the construction is unknown with an estimated cost of $621,000 (subject to change).

Bridge Rehabilitation Projects scheduled on Missouri Route 19 North of Hermann

Visitor (not verified)

Wed, 03/27/2024 – 10:00

HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, April 3, two bridge rehabilitation projects are scheduled to begin on Missouri Route 19 in Montgomery County, located over the Missouri River and the Loutre River north of Hermann.
Temporary traffic impacts will occur at the bridge locations between Missouri Route 94, south of McKittrick, and Missouri Route 100 in Hermann. Traffic will be reduced to one lane during the day at the location where crews are actively working for the duration of the project. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. Workers will be present Monday through Friday during daylight hours. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
The initial phase of rehabilitation on the Missouri River Bridge will include painting of the fencing.  During this time, the public will experience temporary access restrictions to the Katy Trail at this location. Later this Spring, it will be necessary to close access to the Katy Trail at this location while deck sealing operations are active. Additional details for this impact will be released as scheduling information becomes available.
For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, we would like to remind drivers to be attentive in work zones and make smart, safe driving choices behind the wheel, including putting down your cell phone to eliminate distractions.  
Thomas Industrial Coatings, Inc. was awarded the contract earlier this year in the amount of $1,694,448. The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-summer.
For more information on this and other projects in your area, please contact MoDOT’s Customer Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MODOT (275-6636). Work with us in the work zone!  Please remember to obey all work zone signs and personnel.  With an increased number of highway work zones in Missouri, we urge all drivers to pay attention every second while driving, especially through a work zone. Be informed of your route by checking the MoDOT Traveler Information Map before you travel.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A project focused on resurfacing low volume rural routes in several counties across Northwest Missouri is scheduled to begin tomorrow. Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, March 27, in DeKalb County milling on Route D. Flaggers will guide motorists through the work zone during milling.
Once milling is complete, crews will begin resurfacing at the intersection of Route Z and work toward Missouri Route 6, closing the roadway daily from dawn to dusk in segments approximately 2 miles in length Monday, April 1 through Wednesday, April 10. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the intermittent closures.
These resurfacing projects are included as part of Gov. Parson’s Rural Road program. With the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, an additional $100 million in General Revenue is available for Missouri’s low volume rural roads. Using asset management data, the Missouri Department of Transportation has identified 1,567 lane miles of low volume roads ranked in Poor Condition. These locations will receive resurfacing treatments of hot mix asphalt to improve the road conditions. The roads are being bundled into several large contracts across the state. For more information on the Governor’s Rural Roads Program, visit Governor’s Rural Roads Program | Missouri Department of Transportation (modot.org).
The remaining routes are tentatively scheduled to be resurfaced on the following dates:

DeKalb County Route F – April 22-May 5.
Andrew County Route V from U.S. Route 169 to Route 6 in DeKalb County – April 22-May 13.
Buchanan County Route Z – October 7-28.

This project is scheduled to be completed by November 2024.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Know before you go by visiting the MoDOT Traveler Information Map for work zone information and road conditions at http://traveler.modot.org/map/, or downloading from your smart phone’s app store.
MoDOT asks drivers to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phone down, slowing down and moving over in work zones.

The work being done on this bridge, built in 1989, includes deck repairs, concrete overlay, application of protective coating, and new guardrail installation. All ramps will be open and a signed detour will direct motorists around the closure.
This project also includes rehabilitation work on the U.S. Route 63/Missouri Route 94 and Callaway County Route H (Business U.S. 54) bridges over U.S. Route 54. Neither of the U.S. Route 63/Route 94 bridges will be closed while the Airport Road Bridge is closed.
MoDOT contracted with Magruder Paving, LLC to complete this project and three others.
This is one of several projects aimed at enhancing safety, easing congestion, and prolonging the life expectancy of roads and bridges along the busy U.S. Route 54 corridor in Jefferson City. The contractors will coordinate work in order to minimize impacts to the traveling public. The most up-to-date traffic restrictions and information about each project can be found at www.modot.org/guide-us-route-54-improvement-projects-jefferson-city.

The ramp from eastbound I-70 to southbound I-35 will be closed for repair and rehabilitation as part of the Buck O’Neil Bridge project.

NOW through 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10

Crews will close the left lane on both NB/SB U.S. I69 for media barrier replacement from the Buck O’Neil Bridge (on the north side of the river) to the on and off ramps at the north end of Richards Rd. Lane closures on NB/SB U.S. I69 will be in place 24-hours a day. While this project is separate from the Buck O’Neil Bridge project, this phase of the project is located within the Buck O’Neil Bridge project area.

This work will cause impacts to traffic and motorists are advised to plan ahead, leave early, or consider alternate routes if possible. All work is weather permitting.
The current Buck O’Neil Memorial Bridge is a triple arch bridge carrying U.S. Route 169 over the Missouri River and serves as a key regional connection between downtown Kansas City and communities north of the river. While safe, the bridge is nearing the end of its projected service life.

Northwest Bridge Bundle project

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The first bridge is scheduled to be rehabilitated through the Northwest Bridge Bundle project beginning next month. The Chariton County Route HH bridge over Bee Creek, located north of Salisbury, is scheduled to close Monday, April 8. Construction is expected to continue through mid-July. 
During construction, motorists should continue to seek an alternate route around the closure. The Bee Creek Bridge was built in 1965 and has a traffic volume of approximately 273 vehicles per day. The rehabilitation will replace the bridge deck and girders.  
“The Northwest Bridge Bundle is a Design-Build project which will replace or rehabilitate 31 poor-condition bridges in north central Missouri,” stated Missouri Department of Transportation Project Manager Michael Marriott. The Capital – Horner & Shifrin team was awarded the design-build contract by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission at its meeting in December 2023. 
Design-build is a project delivery method in which one contracting team is selected to design and build the highway improvement under one contract. MoDOT provides the project goals, budget and schedule and the contractor team completes the work. This technique has been known to significantly save time and provide cost savings. 
The full list of bridges to be replaced can be found on the Northwest Bridge Bundle web page. 
All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.

Missouri Broadband Availability Challenge Process now open until April 23

March 25, 2024

Jefferson City

The Department of Economic Development’s (DED) Office of Broadband Development (OBD) announced today that the Missouri Broadband Availability Challenge Process is now open and accepting challenges until April 23. The challenge process will assist in the investment of $1.7 billion in funding provided by the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program.“We’re committed to making the most of every investment in our state’s critical infrastructure, which includes broadband internet,” said Governor Mike Parson. “Today, we have a historic opportunity to bring more quality connections to more Missourians than ever before. The Missouri Broadband Availability Challenge Process is a vital step in ensuring that resources for broadband expansion are used efficiently and effectively.”The purpose of the challenge process is to finalize the eligibility of Missouri homes and businesses for funding through the BEAD program. It will allow Missourians and broadband stakeholders to provide evidence that the Missouri Broadband Availability Map does not accurately reflect the availability or quality of internet service at a given location. Through the challenge process, OBD will collect input important to achieving its goal of connecting all Missourians to quality, high-speed internet.“We encourage all Missourians, including service providers, to help ensure the map is as accurate as possible before funding decisions are made,” said BJ Tanksley, Director of the Office of Broadband Development. “This is a pivotal moment for broadband expansion. Public input will greatly help us in our ongoing work to connect all Missourians.”To assist challenge process participants, OBD has published a series of online resources that include a challenge portal user guide, data downloads reflecting the status of locations, the approved BEAD Initial Proposal Volume 1, and various how-to guides. These resources are currently available on OBD’s challenge process webpage.During the challenge process, providers whose service is challenged will have 30 days to file rebuttal evidence. Any nonprofit, local government, or internet service provider interested in participating should register through the challenge portal. Providers reporting service in Missouri are encouraged to register so they will be notified of challenges and able to respond. Resubmission of challenges will only be accepted before April 23 and challenges rejected due to a lack of evidence or other reason after April 23 cannot be resubmitted. Challengers should consider submitting challenges as early as possible.The Missouri Broadband Availability Map is now available at broadbandmap.mo.gov. Details on the challenge process, including helpful resources, are available at ded.mo.gov/office-broadband-development/challenge.About the Office of Broadband DevelopmentThe Office of Broadband Development (OBD) is focused on addressing broadband availability and non-infrastructure barriers to full participation in the digital economy in Missouri by working with providers, communities, and stakeholders to expand and accelerate broadband deployment across the state. OBD’s Connecting All Missourians initiative includes an extensive public engagement process to inform plans for programs funded by the Digital Equity Act (DEA) and the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, both part of the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act (IIJA).To learn more about the Office of Broadband Development or its programs and initiatives, visit DED’s website.About the Missouri Department of Economic DevelopmentThe Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) works to create an environment that encourages economic growth by supporting Missouri’s businesses and diverse industries, strengthening our communities, developing a talented and skilled workforce, and maintaining a high quality of life. As one team built around the customer and driven by data, DED aspires to be the best economic development department in the Midwest.

LPA News – On Call Consultant Maximum Cost Update

keith.jennings

Fri, 03/22/2024 – 12:40

On April 1st, MoDOT will complete an update to Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) 136.4 in regards to the policy on consultants.  A summary of these changes are as follows:

An increase to the maximum contract amount for the LPA on-call consultant list from $100,000 to $200,000.  Once this update is official, local agencies may use the on-call list to select consultants to work on LPA projects for engineering services under the new $200,000 threshold.  

Any project which already has an executed program agreement will still be limited to the $100,000 threshold for the on-call list.  Supplemental consultant agreements to ongoing projects which previously utilized the on-call list should not exceed the previous $100,000 limit.

Local Agencies will also be required to document discussions with at least 3 consultants from the on-call list to make a selection.  At minimum, the documentation should include the consultants called, the qualifications discussed for each consultant, and the basis of the selection (cost must not be part of the selection).  
A requirement to develop an independence cost estimate (ICE) prior to contacting consultants whether the on-call list or the standard solicitation process (Advertisement/RFQ) is used to select a consultant.  If the ICE is close to the $200,000 limit it is recommended the RFQ process is followed to reduce the risk of engineering services exceeding $200,000.  

To develop an ICE, please look at similar past projects, contact nearby communities with similar projects, contact your respective planning partner, or contact your MoDOT LPA representative.  A template is also being provided in the EPG as a tool to assist.

HANNIBAL – Weather permitting, April 3, two bridge rehabilitation projects are scheduled to begin on Missouri Route 19 in Montgomery County, located over the Missouri River and the Loutre River north of Hermann.
Temporary traffic impacts will occur at the bridge locations between Missouri Route 94, south of McKittrick, and Missouri Route 100 in Hermann.  Traffic will be reduced to one lane during the day at the location where crews are actively working for the duration of the project. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct motorists through the work zone. Workers will be present Monday through Friday during daylight hours. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.
The initial phase of rehabilitation on the Missouri River Bridge will include painting of the fencing.  During this time, the public will experience temporary access restrictions to the Katy Trail at this location.  Later this Spring, it will be necessary to close access to the Katy Trail at this location while deck sealing operations are active. Additional details for this impact will be released as scheduling information becomes available.
For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, we would like to remind drivers to be attentive in work zones and make smart, safe driving choices behind the wheel, including putting down your cell phone to eliminate distractions.  
Thomas Industrial Coatings, Inc. was awarded the contract earlier this year in the amount of $1,694,448. The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-summer.
For more information on this and other projects in your area, please contact MoDOT’s Customer Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MODOT (275-6636).

Kansas City

Today, Governor Mike Parson announced that Google will locate a new data center in Kansas City, investing $1 billion and supporting up to 1,300 jobs. The data center, the company’s first in Missouri, will accompany contributions from Google to the region’s workforce and energy infrastructure.“Google’s selection of the Kansas City region is another example of our state’s ability to attract and support world-class companies,” said Governor Parson. “Our skilled workforce, superior infrastructure, and prime business climate continue to result in investments from leading employers. We welcome Google to Missouri and look forward to the positive impact it will provide for our growing high-tech sector.”Google’s data center will be located in Kansas City’s Hunt Midwest Business Center and represents a significant investment in the company’s ongoing innovations and growing Google Cloud business. Google’s data centers help power popular digital services such as Google Docs, Maps, Search, Gmail, and more. The company is partnering with Ranger Power and D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI) to provide 400 megawatts of new, carbon-free energy to support the data center’s operations.“We have reached an important inflection point for tech innovation like AI, and data centers are the backbone of this progress,” said Monique Picou, Global Vice President of Cloud Supply Chain and Operations at Google. “Our announcement today is a testament to the resources, talent and welcoming spirit of the Kansas City community. Together, Kansas City and Google will help power America’s digital future and we are excited to contribute to the bright future of the region.” Google also announced it will expand a skilled trade career development program to the Kansas City region and contribute $100,000 to the North Kansas City School District’s STEAM center. In addition, the company will bring its Skilled Trades and Readiness (STAR) program to the area while collaborating with the Missouri Works Initiative and Urban League to promote the talent pipeline for the skilled trades.“This significant investment from Google speaks to the value of Missouri’s economic advantages and collaborative partnerships,” said Michelle Hataway, Acting Director of the Department of Economic Development. “We’re proud to support this historic project as Google joins a growing list of innovative companies that are helping Missourians prosper.”To learn more about Google in Missouri, visit economicimpact.google/state/mo.

City will evaluate wastewater system improvements

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, MARCH 21, 2024 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded a $50,000 Clean Water Engineering Report Grant to the city of Pilot Knob to evaluate the city’s wastewater system.

The grant offers funding to qualified communities to help cover engineering costs for evaluating water and wastewater system improvements. Pilot Knob will use its grant to identify wastewater system improvements needed to continue reliable service to the area, meet permit requirements and reduce stormwater infiltration into sewer collection pipes. The city’s plan should be complete in September 2025.

“An important part of our work is helping Missouri communities like Pilot Knob maintain and improve their aging water treatment systems,” said Dru Buntin, director of the Department of Natural Resources. “One way we do that is by offering financial assistance through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. Through this and other available assistance programs, we can help protect public and environmental health, and improve the quality of life for Missourians.”

The department is committed to assisting Missouri communities with water and wastewater infrastructure improvement projects. Through its Financial Assistance Center, the department provides funding opportunities for qualified communities with water quality, wastewater and drinking water infrastructure needs. This project will be funded wholly or in part with monies received from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
