Staff described the larger project as a 16-mile corridor; the parcel at issue was described as roughly six-tenths of an acre. Staff said the county attempted to negotiate a voluntary sale and reported a fair-market value just over $5,000, but the owner declined to sell. Given that, staff recommended condemnation to acquire the land needed to continue the second-mile segment of the project.

The board approved a two-part motion: to authorize pursuit of condemnation and to authorize the district attorney to begin the necessary legal proceedings.

Staff said they had tried settlement before recommending condemnation and characterized the decision as a last resort to keep the corridor project on schedule.","After reporting a property owner declined a sale, the board approved pursuing condemnation for a 0.6-acre parcel on a Luther Road corridor project and authorized the district attorney to begin legal proceedings.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180191,"Oklahoma County approves MOUs and contracts for pretrial services, opioid abatement and security; citizen raises drug-testing concern",149,711000,860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120145-745d0c5aa2eb0ade580004323045e0a9&start=711&end=860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120145-745d0c5aa2eb0ade580004323045e0a9/thumbnail_711000.jpg","/articles/6180191/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Oklahoma-County-approves-MOUs-and-contracts-for-pretrial-services-opioid-abatement-and-security-citizen-raises-drug-testing-concern","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180191-260f57397b4d7e8aeabadfa484049bf5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773300871&Signature=KAz9nmMbhHbycgpoiBxA3rrWb75FloxsVAqTTO-RCsO9pZzGu~dKNZyft6MPT05lOxPyJqUtTOWuYI9Bsf1CpZC4aQDq1p9EQTASK~Is~U03ivvxVGGKjj3~a267BJG3eJTmVnr4piEfxV0~KYiB845E2KbJuaiTev4IubOTyU6ZuTbdynNLAc0n-UedIvZDy5PKQ-5WETGyawgrETp9p9mHsyxvzw9Fu53Ukk6YUutXwLO9V~UfiTBRNnbEjp9upF5OK0-neG2MfODLdtRD4Yx1q8dqihlAbPWCacnZQZqc-rEM8WLSkeP-B-FV4StzRoztnmzYGIZwB8I3a9ec0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners approved a bundle of contracts and memoranda of understanding covering pretrial release services, opioid abatement and security services, and a related contract for pretrial services.

County staff presented items 13–18 as a package. Among them were a memorandum of understanding with the district attorney to provide pretrial release services, a separate MOU with the Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority for pretrial release services, and a contract with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center for opioid abatement services with a not-to-exceed amount of $299,813.63. Staff said the opioid contract is contingent on encumbrance of funds and that billing will be on a monthly reimbursement basis pending the county’s final deposit from the attorney general for June.

The board also approved a contract for security services with ProSecure, described by staff as split 70/30 between the Board of County Commissioners and the PBA; county’s 30 percent share was listed at $96,852.52. A separate contract with TEAM for pretrial release services was among the items approved.

During the public comment period on item 17, resident Jed Green raised a concern about the TEAM contract’s drug-testing language. Green said the contract text treats a positive drug test for a substance other than a prescribed medication the same as a prescription, but noted that “licensed medical marijuana cardholders do not have a prescription. They have a recommendation.” He cited “Oklahoma statute, title 63 4 27 10” as the authority for the distinction.

The board voted to approve the slate of items after a motion and second. Staff framed the opioid contract as contingent on receipt and encumbrance of the remaining funds from the attorney general before full performance would proceed.","The board approved a set of contracts and memoranda of understanding including pretrial release services and an opioid abatement contract with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center for up to $299,813.63; a citizen speaker flagged wording about medical marijuana and drug testing.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180194,"Oklahoma County approves multiple awards for highway materials and services under CW26025-1",107,460000,567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120145-745d0c5aa2eb0ade580004323045e0a9&start=460&end=567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120145-745d0c5aa2eb0ade580004323045e0a9/thumbnail_460000.jpg","/articles/6180194/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Oklahoma-County-approves-multiple-awards-for-highway-materials-and-services-under-CW26025-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180194-1db56caaa0f618e5da6cf5498ce9d207/orig.mp4?Expires=1773300871&Signature=d~aRdQHOQ-hz81Zqwy0wLxLdTecLJSVJqwuYBegW3xOK7rPuLSqSulPbdxfoBBIZwGE8FUCOoOHHIhqZ~4M1Oed0kwawo7svp1Yq~~TvNAhXP8v6PwNPRTDcAXFBBcw9Au9o-gwOmLcPXIdEsRAXFhbUiSfP-cyANUsfSIS3eTmvxSV4ZeAEpiz-IyCdeJ9ct8dytLEg9zfr5bYhPFSWj6rVznxlxH-lDUpZa6C~MrAnmv8SXC8o-6mcWLxHvdwuLD~L9lBZLj1bIT55KpW-OredpCINn7vN8Pj8hLAbiG13-44cXtp-rDQNKZ4-2dH6n-d~U9l6djB0yJdAtboSug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners approved awards to multiple vendors for highway materials, supplies and services under procurement CW26025-1 following evaluation of 30 bids.

County purchasing staff recommended single- and multiple-vendor awards for categories including cement slurry, concrete, pipe, reinforcing steel, grader blades, oils, microsurfacing and seal-coating. The board voted to accept the recommendations and to rebid the Kevlar item at a later date.

The recommendation lists Oklahoma Cement Solutions for seamant slurry, DeLisi Brothers for concrete material, DeBrass and Korn Main for pipe, Patriot Steel for reinforcing steel bars, DeBrass and Warren Catt for steel grader blades, Vance Brothers for oils and microsurfacing, SilverStar Construction for cement kiln dust, Tri City Seal for seal-coating pavement services, and A and A Trucking for hauling and crushed materials. Native materials bids that met specifications were recommended for award to all responsive bidders; each department will select the “lowest and best” supplier for aggregates, asphalt and sands based on availability, price and transportation costs. Purchasers said the Kevlar line item will be rebid.

The board approved the motion to adopt the purchasing staff recommendations by voice vote.

The action completes the committee’s procurement step; project-level purchases will be made by the departments managing individual construction projects.","The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners approved awards to multiple vendors for highway materials, supplies and related services under procurement CW26025-1 after receiving 30 bids; one item (Kevlar) will be rebid.","actionData","errors"]
