Bids were awarded by the Hays city commission last week for the 2018 Street Maintenance Program.

The five contractors with the low bids for the five types of work that will be done this year are:

• Circle C Paving and Construction, LLC, Goddard, in the amount of $211,705.40 for seal coat
• Vance Brothers, Inc., Kansas City, Missouri, in the amount of $402,079.66 for micro-surfacing
• Diamond Surface, Inc., Rogers, Minnesota, in the amount of $296,483.88 for diamond grinding
• Morgan Brothers Construction, Inc., LaCrosse, in the amount of $164,058.30 for curb and brick repair
• Sweeney’s Pavement Maintenance, LLC, Hays, in the amount of $35,535 for polypatch

The total of the five contracts is $1,109,862.24 to be funded out of Special Highway. Funding for the chip seal of the sports complex and various park roads will come from Special Parks and Sports Complex Funds respectively.

Going forward, future street work will be prioritized by “keeping the good streets good,” Projects Manager John Braun told city commissioners.

“Back in 2005 we did an in-house assessment. We surveyed the streets, came back and rated them, then put all the information together and came up with a five-year plan,” Braun said.

In 2011 an outside firm using a computer model was hired that “gave a good benchmark of the general condition of the streets in a little bit comparison than what we did in-house. The algorithm didn’t care whether it was a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon or if it was hot or cold when they did the assessment.”

Another street assessment in 2016 provided an indicator of how streets were faring since 2011.

“It showed that the street condition was getting better. However, on an individual street-by-street basis, we were still having to go in and evaluate each street on its own merits,” Braun said, “and we couldn’t necessarily specifically depend on the computer factoring in everything.”

For now, Braun doesn’t see the need to hire another outside evaluation.

“We have a benchmark. I think we have the expertise in-house and the experience that we can go out and pick the streets that are best to maintain,” Braun said. “We have the methodology now where we are keeping the good streets good, instead of letting them get bad and spending a lot of money to rebuild them.”

Braun knows there are still some streets that “just have to get worse and then we are rebuilding them,” but added “we’re really working hard to make sure the streets that are in good condition stay in good condition.”

Seniors propel No. 6 Kansas to win over Texas

Posted on

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Svi Mykhailiuk had 17 points, Devonte Graham added 10 and 11 assists and No. 6 Kansas beat Texas 80-70 Monday night.

The Jayhawks (24-6, 13-4 Big 12) used a strong night from seniors Mykhailiuk and Graham in what was the pair and walk-on Clay Young’s senior night and final game in Allen Fieldhouse. Their powerful start helped them control the game early, forcing the Longhorns (17-13, 7-10 Big 12) to burn four timeouts in the first half.

Kerwin Roach II led the way for Texas, scoring 18 points and dishing out eight assists just days after hitting the game-winner against Oklahoma State. Jacob Young posted 14 points and five rebounds.

The Longhorns were without star freshman Mo Bamba, who missed the game with a toe injury. Bamba, who leads the team in rebounds (10.6) and is second in points (13) per game, had 22 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high eight blocks against Kansas back in December.

Udoka Azubuike had another strong night down low for the Jayhawks, scoring a game-high 20 points and making 10 of 11 shots. Azubuike led the nation in field goal percentage entering the game (77.1 percent).

Kansas has now won 35 consecutive home finales, dating back to the 1983-84 season. The Jayhawks are locked in to the Big 12 tournament’s No. 1 seed.

Kansas is now 31-8 all-time against Texas, and has won all of the last nine meetings.

BIG PICTURE

Kansas seals an outright Big 12 championship after clinching at least a share of its 14th straight conference crown Saturday with a win over Texas Tech.

Texas remains on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. If the Longhorns aren’t chosen, it will be just the third time in the last 20 years they’ve missed the NCAAs.

UP NEXT

Kansas wraps up its season on the road against Oklahoma State Saturday.

Texas will finish the year with a home tilt against No. 20 West Virginia.

HAWVER: Baseline study could change view of Kan. school funding

Posted on
Martin Hawver

Too early to tell for sure, but it is starting to look like that $200,000-plus consultant report on costs of K-12 education for public school students might just tell legislators how much it should cost to educate your “average” Kansas schoolchild with your “average” Kansas schoolteacher.

Sorry about that unfortunate use of the word “average” but it is a term that hasn’t been used in the same sentence as school finance for a long time.

That consultant study, which lawmakers will receive March 15, is taking an approach that is rare. Because nobody thinks his/her child or grandchild, or niece or nephew, is average, and no teacher raises a hand at a schoolteacher conference when the moderator asks who is just an average teacher.

But it is a baseline that may be a key to convincing the Kansas Supreme Court that the state is adequately funding public schools.

Now, average cost is just a start, of course, but the consultant hired by the state is going to strip away the transportation, the food service, the maintenance, the administrative costs, and try to come up with a baseline for computing just how much money the Legislature ought to be appropriating for K-12 education.

Don’t worry, that busing, maintenance, administration, construction financing—and of course the key education elements like special programs for children who are poor, who don’t speak English and who have psychological and mobility problems—are going to be added back into that “average” cost. But just the average cost per pupil is a starting point that most lawmakers haven’t seen.

How those basic average costs and the weightings for students who need special programs, and the buildings and transportation and administration and everything else, is going to be added to that isn’t known yet. But at least lawmakers will have a place to start in rewriting the school finance formula and paying for it.

Key, of course, is convincing the Kansas Supreme Court that the new formula provides adequate funding for the state’s 286 school districts, those average base costs and the costs of additional services pupils need. And the pretty conservative Republican-dominated Legislative Coordinating Council hired a consultant to compute what is adequate and fair spending on schools so that every student has the support to become, well, good grown-up Kansans that we’ll all be proud of, or at least willing to live next door to.

Oh, that starting point, if lawmakers accept it, is just a starting point. They’ll want to figure just how much additional money districts will need because they teach every child, not just “average” children. And the scraps will be over whether the Legislature can convince the court that the funding provided, spent in a businesslike manner, will yield a good education.

So, look for some to maintain that school districts are misspending state aid money; some to maintain that districts get so little money that they must shuffle it around to make up for weightings that aren’t strong enough or that will threaten school administrator salaries and cheerleader and football uniforms and the Astroturf at the football stadium.

And it comes down to spending, of course: Whether the new examination of cost means that the state isn’t providing enough support for local schools or too much money, and eventually whether those locally elected school boards are using their money to efficiently educate those students.

More money needed? Raise taxes or cut spending on everything else the state provides its citizens. Spending about the right amount, but not seeing it used efficiently by districts? Hammer the school boards. Spending more than the consultants believe is necessary? Don’t worry about that one…

Gas prices continue to drop, but spring increase expected

Average Kansas pump price drops two cents

TOPEKA – Gas prices in Kansas followed a national trend this week, continuing their decline of the past couple of weeks. The average gas price across Kansas is now $2.37/gallon, which is two cents less than one week ago. Motorists in the Sunflower State and across the country, however, should not expect falling prices to continue. AAA will announce its quarterly gas price report later this week, with indicators pointing upward.

“Lower demand for gasoline over the second half of February has given us some relief at the pumps,” said Shawn Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman. “Kansas still has the 13th lowest gas prices in the country, but it is looking like we may all need to prepare to pay more soon.”

MEDIA NOTE: Look for distribution of the AAA Spring Quarterly Gas Report this Thursday, March 1. AAA Kansas public affairs contacts available for interviews and further clarification.

The 10 Kansas cities regularly highlighted by AAA Kansas (see chart above) showed a mixed bag this will, with seven cities experiencing lower gas prices. Lawrence remained flat, while Manhattan (+4 cents) and Pittsburg (+1) rose. Leading the price declines were Garden City (-8) and Emporia and Kansas City, Kan., which both fell four cents per gallon.

According to AAA Kansas, this week’s Kansas gas price extremes are:
HIGH: Kensington (Smith County) – $2.80
LOW: Goddard (Sedgwick County) – $2.19

National Perspective
At $2.52, the national gas price average is the cheapest pump price seen this February. The national gas price average for the month of February is $2.56, which is 29-cents more expensive than the $2.28 average of February 2017. On the week, gas prices decreased 1 cent.

“Gas prices continue to trend cheaper for the majority of motorists as demand for consumer gasoline declines for a second week,” said AAA Kansas’ Steward. “Even with the small drop-off, demand continues to register above 9 million b/d, which is a four percent year-on-year increase, according to the Energy Information Administration’s latest report.

While cheaper gas prices are welcomed by motorists, AAA does not expect the trend to continue.

Great Lakes and Central States Report
Great Lakes and Central states’ gas prices are showing signs of volatility. On the week, the majority of states saw prices decrease, but a handful of states are paying more compared to last week: Michigan (+5 cents) Kentucky (+4 cents),Ohio (+4 cents) Illinois (+3 cent) and Missouri (+2 cents).

With a 10-cent decrease, Indiana saw the largest pump price drop for the region and the country this past week. In the region, Iowa (-2 cents) saw the second largest drop, and at $2.51 sells among the most expensive gas.
Gasoline inventories continue to build week over week since the start of the year. According to the EIA’s latest report, inventories built by 740,000 bbl to total at 58.3 million bbl. Inventories are just 1.8 million below last year this week.

Salina football team working to draw more Hays-area fans with Golden Q sponsorship

Hays Post

Now that the Salina Liberty indoor football team has a sponsor in Hays, officials are hoping word spreads about the existence of the professional team just down the road.

“A lot of people don’t even know professional football is being played in the area,” said Mike Wagner, the Hays contact for Salina Liberty.

Salina Liberty General Manager Francis Flax, Owner/Partner Roy Lawrence, and Wagner, a Hays resident, met Monday with Danny Herman and Marcus Hilger of the Golden Q to move forward with a sponsorship by the popular sports bar and grill for team’s 2018 season.

“The Golden Q is a very well-known establishment both locally and across the state and is recognized as one of the best bar and grills in the area. We would like to thank Danny and his staff for coming on board with us this season and look forward to seeing him and his staff at our games,” Wagner said.

Salina Liberty starts its third season in the North Division of Champions Indoor League in a face-off with their I-35 rivals, the Wichita Force, Saturday, March 3, at Tony’s Pizza Events Center in Salina. The first 500 fans will receive a free Salina Liberty T-shirt. It’s the first of six regular season home games for the 2018 season.

“With new head coach Heron O’Neal and a full roster of several returning players and new signed players, the Liberty are looking forward to a great year of football,” Flax said in a news release.

“Our games offer fun for the whole family with many contests that take place during media time outs and half-time,” Wagner said. “After each game, you are welcome to walk out on the field to meet the team, mascot Sideline Sam and get your favorite player’s autograph.”

More information about Salina Liberty is available on their Facebook page or by contacting Wagner at 785-259-5573.

Gorilla bats too much for Tiger baseball

Posted on

PITTSBURG, Kan. – The Fort Hays State baseball team was unable to tame the explosive Pittsburg State offense Monday afternoon (Feb. 26), falling in the series finale, 18-5. The Tigers dip to 7-6 on the year and 3-0 in MIAA play, while the Gorillas are now 9-4 overall and 3-0 in league action.

The Gorillas took control early and never relented, batting around in each of the first three innings. Trailing 4-0 in the top of the second, the Tigers answered with a run when Jordan Wilkerson drew a walk to lead things off. After moving to third on a double off the bat of Marcus Altman, the junior came in to score when Jason Nicholson sent a sacrifice to the left side of the infield.

Nicholson added a second RBI in the fourth inning when he doubled to left center, bringing Ryan Grasser around to score.

Fort Hays State started a bit of a two-out rally in the sixth inning, putting up three runs to close within 18-5. Grasser worked a walk in the first at bat of the inning before the next two batters were retired. Nicholson then drew a walk before Bryce Baumwart picked up a pinch-hit single, loading the bases for the top of the order. Addison Kaasch came through with an RBI single before Clayton Basgall drove in two with a double down the left field line, but the rally ended there.

The Tigers loaded the bases once again in the seventh inning, but the Gorilla bullpen recorded one final strikeout to finish things off.

Ben Ramberg (2-1) took the loss, giving up four runs on four walks. Seven different Tigers took to the mound, with Cole Schumacher and Sam Capps both recording scoreless innings. Schumacher retired all three batters he faced, striking out two, while Capps picked up the only other strikeout for a Tiger pitcher.

Basgall collected three of FHSU’s eight hits on the day, including a pair of doubles. Altman added two doubles while Nicholson was 1-for-1 with a double, a sacrifice, a walk and a hit by pitch.

The Tigers will return to Larks Park on Wednesday (Feb. 28) when they host Northwestern Oklahoma State in a midweek matchup. First pitch is set for 2 p.m.
