City Council approves $79K bid for 2025 pavement striping project

The Owasso City Council convened on March 19, 2025, to discuss several key projects aimed at improving local infrastructure, with a focus on timely execution and community safety.

One of the primary topics was the approval of a project to address pavement striping at three critical intersections in the city. The intersections identified for this work include East 76th Street North and North 120th East Avenue, East 86th Street North and North Mingo Road, and East 116th Street North and North 120th East Avenue. City staff reported that bids were opened on February 25, with Action Safety Supply Company LLC from Oklahoma City submitting the lowest bid of $79,045.65, significantly below the engineer's estimate of $171,478.08. The council unanimously approved the bid, allowing the project to move forward quickly, with construction expected to begin in early April, weather permitting.

In addition to the pavement striping project, the council discussed the urgency of completing these improvements before the rainy season, which is anticipated to start soon. City officials expressed optimism about the availability of materials locally, which should facilitate a swift start to construction. The council's decision reflects a commitment to enhancing road safety and ensuring that residents can navigate the city safely.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance and improvement, with a clear focus on addressing community needs efficiently. As these projects progress, residents can expect enhanced road conditions that contribute to safer travel throughout Owasso.
