The City of Manhattan’s former Public Works Director, the late Robert K. Ott, was recently honored posthumously with the Government Engineer of the Year Award by the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers (KSPE).

The award is based on several professional criteria, including engineering achievements (significant accomplishments and career highlights), civic and humanitarian activities, continuing education, professional and technical society activities, awards and honors, educational and collegiate achievements, KSPE membership, and registered Professional Engineer status.

Since 1910, KSPE has represented all engineering disciplines and practices for the state’s licensed professional engineers, including those who practice in industry, construction, private practice, education, and government. Ott was nominated for the award by the Tri-Valley chapter of KSPE.
