Muskogee approves park repairs, spillway work, equipment purchase and project payments
Summary
The council approved multiple bids and final payments including Spalding Park pickleball repairs, the Honor Heights spillway project, a Kubota backhoe purchase, Civic Center HVAC final payment and a waterline interconnect final payment; staff provided project scopes and some financial clarifications.
The City of Muskogee approved several procurement items and final project payments during the May 12 meeting, covering parks repairs, a park spillway replacement, equipment purchase and final construction payments.
Council approved the lowest and best bid of $89,800 from PCC Sports for Spalding Park court repairs and conversion work on project 2025004. “This project will entail resurfacing 3 tennis courts and restriping 3 tennis courts and resurfacing 1 pickleball court,” staff explained during the meeting.
The council also approved a $360,000 bid from Cook Consulting LLC for the Honor Heights Park spillway replacement (project 2025005). Staff said the work includes removal and replacement of pedestrian bridge elements, new prefabricated weathered-steel pedestrian bridge installation and new riprap and geotechnical systems.
The purchase of a Kubota backhoe-loader under cooperative Sourcewell pricing was approved; staff said the unit replaces a machine believed purchased in 1994 and that cooperative purchasing saves $17,255 off list price. The purchase price was presented in the packet as $78,258 (the meeting transcript contains a typographical notation of “78258¢” and staff confirmed Sourcewell pricing).
The council approved final payment of $53,600 to Sligar Med Mechanical LLC for the Civic Center HVAC remodel (project 2023020). Staff said the $1,072,000 project included two 200-ton chillers, three 1,000,000 BTU boilers, pumps, new piping and electrical work and came in on budget.
Finally, the council approved final payment to Cook Consulting LLC for the waterline interconnect package C (project 2022003). The payment amount stated on the agenda appeared inconsistent in the transcript; staff described the overall project as a $3,700,000 contract that came in under bid by $275,000 and said the work included more than 80 service-line connections, over 30 fire hydrants, about 18,000 linear feet of new water lines, and repairs to roadways and curbs. Improvements were also made at the Taft Pump Station and Saddler Elementary School, and two old 24-inch lines were decommissioned and filled with concrete for safety.
Council members approved each item by roll-call votes as presented.
