Guthrie council rescinds earlier airport tank approval, awards lower relocation bid and confirms appointments; public works authority awards roof repair
Summary
On March 18 Guthrie leaders rescinded a prior action on airport fuel-tank relocation, awarded a $17,966.32 contract to Boomer Environmental, confirmed two Board of Adjustment nominees, and approved a roof replacement bid for a city building.
The Guthrie City Council on March 18 rescinded a previously approved but unexecuted action to relocate fuel tanks at Guthrie Evan Regional Airport and approved a new, lower bid to relocate the tanks.
City staff explained that although the council and airport board had earlier approved relocation, staff never issued a notice to proceed or paid the contractor. Eddie (city staff) told the council the city had solicited bids again and recommended awarding the work to Boomer Environmental for $17,966.32. The council unanimously approved the rescission of the earlier approval and then unanimously approved awarding the relocation contract to Boomer Environmental “not to exceed $17,966.32.”
Eddie said the city had attempted to obtain three comparable quotes as required by city purchasing policy for work under $25,000 but had difficulty finding contractors able to provide comparable bids for the location and scope of work. Staff noted that the city's purchasing policy (not state law) requires three quotes in this funding tier and that, in this case, staff obtained two bids and a "no bid" from another contractor; the council waived the city purchasing-policy requirement in order to proceed.
Also on the consent agenda, the council unanimously approved two mayoral nominations to the Guthrie Board of Adjustment: Dan Newton and Daryl Burnett, each for a three-year term expiring May 31, 2028.
At the Guthrie Public Works Authority meeting that followed, members awarded a roof-replacement bid for the Waste Connections building at 316 West Harrison. Eddie reported the roof was damaged in a wind and hailstorm in late 2024; the insurer (recorded in the meeting as Omeg) will pay $7,754.88 of the cost, leaving the city responsible for an estimated $6,830.12. The authority awarded the contract to Integrity Construction and Roofing for $14,585.
All votes on the items above were recorded as unanimous among those present.
