Owasso public-works update outlines bid schedule and timelines for major road, park and utility projects
Summary
Public works staff reported timelines for Garnett Road, 90th Street, 106th Street intersection improvements, street rehabilitation, parks projects and water-line replacement, with several projects expected to enter bidding this summer and construction in 2025–2026.
Public works staff delivered a monthly project status report outlining schedules and next steps for multiple capital projects across Owasso, including roadwork, park improvements and utility replacements.
Key items and schedules cited by staff: Garnett Road improvements (A. 106th Street to 116th Street North) were advertised for bid with bids expected in the first half of June and construction planned to begin in late July or early August 2025, with an approximate 12‑month construction window and likely completion in July or August 2026. Work on 90th Street (east and west phases) is under construction or design with anticipated completion dates through 2026; the west phase construction began May 5 and the project is expected to finish by March 2026. The 106th Street/N. 129th East Ave. intersection improvements are in utility‑relocation phase with completion expected in June 2025; that project is administered by ODOT because federal funds are attached and has a planned bid opening in August with construction to start later in the year.
Other updates included: a two‑phase 2025 street‑rehabilitation program (preventive maintenance using a product called HA‑5 and traditional mill/overlay), several right‑of‑way and utility‑relocation efforts on 90th and 106th corridors, ongoing public‑works facility construction and detention‑pond work, Centennial Park playground installation nearing cleanup and sodding (expected late May–early June), the 117th force main bore across US‑169 (on schedule), and a 16‑inch water‑main replacement on E. 70th Street N. (construction started in April, completion anticipated November 2025). Staff also noted a $3,000,000 federal grant for 80th improvements (Maine to Garnett Road) and an ODOT‑administered US‑169 project with a June bid opening and a September construction start and 12–14 month duration.
Why it matters: The report affects residents, businesses and motorists who will experience phased construction, lane changes and closures. Staff emphasized sequencing to preserve available fields and minimize disruptions during parks renovations and said drainage improvements would be an early focus for the sports‑park renovation.
Ending: Staff said schedules are subject to weather and right‑of‑way negotiations; several projects remain in design or right‑of‑way phases and will return to council for bid awards and contract approvals.
