Summary
At its Sept. 2 meeting the Bartlesville City Council approved multiple procurement awards, accepted its FY2023 audited financial statements, and earmarked up to $50,000 to support a pilot CharityTracker subscription for the Unsheltered Homeless Task Force. Most motions passed unanimously.
The Bartlesville City Council on Sept. 2 approved a series of routine procurement and budget actions including concrete and asphalt supply contracts, a city hall renovations contract, acceptance of the FY2023 audited financial statements, and an allocation related to the Unsheltered Homeless Task Force.
Highlights
- Awarded bid 20252026‑007 (concrete) to Bartlesville Ready Mix (lowest compliant bidder); motion carried by roll call vote (all ayes).
- Awarded bid 20252026‑008 (asphalt concrete and asphalt concrete base) to Bison Materials LLC as low compliant bidder for required parts; motion carried by roll call vote (all ayes).
- Awarded city hall renovations contract (bid 20252026‑009, selected contractor Kane/A & K Construction per staff recommendation after scope adjustments) with project funding coming from GO bonds and halfcent sales tax extension; motion carried by roll call vote (all ayes).
- Accepted the city’s annual financial statements and independent auditor’s report for fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 (audit issued with an unmodified opinion; staff discussed timing issues for subsequent audits and corrective action items); motion to accept carried by roll call vote (all ayes).
- Approved the consent docket items not pulled for separate consideration; several consent items were pulled and acted on separately as recorded in the minutes.
- Allocated up to $50,000 for a community CharityTracker license and setup for the Unsheltered Homeless Task Force after a motion amended the original $75,000 request; the allocation passed unanimously. The council clarified this action was an authorization only — any spending requires a later contract and council approval.
Each award and acceptance was presented with staff explanation of scope and budget source; in most cases staff said the awarded bidders met specifications and were the lowest compliant proposals. The acceptance of the 2023 audit included discussion of a significant deficiency related to contract execution and timing issues arising from component unit audits; staff said they expect improved timelines going forward.
