PRESIDENT’S NOTE

h p://kansas.apwa.net/

I want to start off by saying I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and you are fi nding some time to take a vacation with your family before school starts back up again. I know it can be hard to fi nd time to get away with summer being in the heart of the construction season.

It was good to see a number of the Kansas Chapter members at the Mid-AM conference that was held in Overland Park in May. If you weren’t able to attend, hopefully you found a way to celebrate Public Works Week in your area. I want to extend congratulations to all the award winners that were recognized at the awards ceremony. I also want to say thank you to all Kansas Chapter members that served on planning committee; they were able to come up with a great group of speakers for the event.

I want to highlight some exciting upcoming events. The fi rst is PWX in Orlando between August 27th and 30th. PWX is the National Expo for the Public Works community. Keep in mind if it has been over fi ve years since the last time you have been to PWX, then you are eligible to submit an application for a scholarship (maximum amount of $1,000 per person) that is awarded by the Kansas Chapter. A complete list of the criteria is available on a fl yer included in this quarter’s newsletter. The chapter has awarded up to three scholarships per year. There will also be a new roadeo event at this year’s PWX for any of the operators that will be attending. Each chapter will be allowed two participants and the Kansas Chapter will cover the registration cost for the roadeo. Please let me know if you are interested in this event, so we can make sure that you get registered. The chapter will be hosting a chapter dinner at PWX, if you are interested, please be sure to sign up on the chapter website, so we can get an accurate head count. Hope to see you there!

The second upcoming event of note is the annual fall conference that will be held in Wichita on September 19, 2017. We are in the process of getting the speakers lined up for the conference. If you have a specifi c topic that you would like to hear about please reach out to me or a board member. We have also discussed setting up a tour for a portion of the afternoon session, so all you offi ce guys will need to dust off your hard hats and vest. I can be reached anytime by email at smellies@wichita.gov or by phone at (316) 268-4632.

LTAP ReportFrom Lisa Harris, Director for the Kansas University Transportation Center and the Kansas LTAP and RTAP Programs

K R N A T C P

KDOT’s Bureau of Local Projects (BLP) and the Kansas Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) received a national award this year for a training and certifi cation program they co-developed. They received the 2017 FHWA Excellence in Right-of-Way Stewardship Award for developing an online training and certifi cation program for ROW acquisition. The program uses videos developed by FHWA in its Local Aid Essentials series and combines those with an online test monitored by BLP.

The Stewardship Award recognizes KDOT BLP's eff ort to effi ciently provide training to Local Public Agencies (LPAs). In Kansas, LPAs self-certify that they have complied with the Uniform Act in the acquisition of properties for their projects. In the past, KDOT annually traveled the state to provide training to the LPAs and their consultants and to review project right-of-way fi les to ensure compliance.

To make the process more effi cient, KDOT BLP partnered with Kansas LTAP to develop a certifi cation process and web-based training for LPAs at the LTAP website. The new certifi cation and training process, which will be mandatory for LPAs and their consultants, is expected to save time and money through reduced travel burdens, while also encouraging high participation rates because of the new certifi cation requirement. Using available resources and technology allows KDOT to provide the needed training for LPAs in a more effi cient way not previously possible.

Ron Seitz, former BLP Chief and now Director of KDOT's Division of Engineering and Design, traveled to Indianapolis this past April to receive the award.

The certifi cation is online at www.ksltap.org. Click on Training Webinars in the left column. The training and test take about an hour to complete.
