County opens bids for behavioral care center, approves related easements and testing increase
Summary
Oklahoma County received three proposals for a behavioral care center project and approved related easements and a $50,000 testing contract increase to address soil issues.
The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners opened bids for project 26120-11, a behavioral care center services contract, and approved several related property and contract actions at its meeting.
County staff reported three proposals for the behavioral care center: Cope Incorporated, First Class Healthcare and CREOKS Mental Health Services. The board voted to tabulate the proposals and return them for evaluation.
Separately, the board approved a re-submitted easement to OG&E so the utility can power the behavioral care center site after an earlier filing had signature and notary issues. The board also approved an amendment to the Standard Testing contract for the behavioral care center, adding $50,000 because soil contamination and related testing needs drove a higher burn rate than anticipated.
The board approved a separate easement with the City of Oklahoma City to allow installation of water meters at the entrance to a county site at 20 Second Street.
All motions on these items were approved by voice vote during the meeting. The board did not announce a contract award for the behavioral care center during the public meeting; staff said proposals will be tabulated and returned for evaluation.
Votes at a glance: the motion to tabulate and return bids passed; the OG&E easement redo passed; the City of Oklahoma City water-meter easement passed; the Standard Testing contract amendment (increase of $50,000) passed.
Context and next steps: county staff said evaluation panels will review proposals and return recommendations; the easements will allow the county to move forward on utility work at the site and the testing funds will cover additional site investigation work.
