Broken Arrow council approves restriping and awards neighborhood street repair contracts
Summary
Council approved a $366,000 restriping contract for 18 intersections and awarded or amended contracts totaling $3.0 million for neighborhood street repairs, part of a 26-project program.
Aaron McCullough, director of communications for the City of Broken Arrow, and Councilman David Pickle reported that the City Council approved a $366,000 contract to restripe 18 intersections and took additional action on neighborhood street repairs during its April 1 meeting.
The restriping contract covers 18 intersections on corridors including Kenosha, Albany, Houston, Tucson and Florence and was approved on the consent agenda, McCullough said. "This is really important to folks," Pickle said, noting that visible lane markings are a safety issue for drivers.
Council also approved a $700,000 amendment to the Brentwood concrete panel street repair project, bringing that contract to $1.9 million, McCullough said. Separately, the council awarded a $1.4 million contract for street repairs in the Meadow Heights subdivision. Those three items are two of 26 neighborhood street repair projects the city has planned.
Council members discussed the longer lifespan of concrete panels compared with asphalt and framed the higher up-front cost as an investment in durability. "The concrete panel repair is very important from the aspect of concrete, does last longer," Pickle said.
The meeting summary distributed by city staff noted there were about 26 neighborhood projects overall; the council did not provide detailed timelines for each location during the remarks included in the summary. For more information, the city directs residents to the meeting agenda and contract documents posted on the city's website.
Votes and formal approvals for these contracts were recorded on the meeting agenda; the transcript did not specify individual motioners, seconders or roll-call vote tallies for the items mentioned.
