Transportation Purchasing Coordination Breakthrough Team
Team Purpose
Increase collaboration and achieve savings in three arenas:
  1. Increase the awareness and use of state contracts either to purchase products and services or as information in negotiating contracts locally.
  2. Early communication of KDOT 1R projects so local governments can coordinate and budget for possible county road and city street work or buy hot mix or other materials from the contractor.
  3. Create a Local Road Engineer position within the Kansas Association of Counties to work with local government.
Current Status
This Breakthrough Team’s work is complete so the team no longer is meeting.
Results
The work of this Breakthrough Team resulted in permanent and successful coordinated efforts. A Local Road Engineer position at the Kansas Association of Counties was created and is jointly funded by local governments and the Kansas Department of Transportation to coordinate purchasing activities and overlay projects as well as provide a consistent point of coordination between state and local transportation activities.
