Pryor Creek approves agreement with Mayes County and $223,000 material expenditure for one-mile Old Highway 20 overlay
Summary
Council approved an agreement with Mayes County to maintain certain roadways and authorized up to $223,000 for materials to overlay roughly one mile of Northeast First Street/Old Highway 20; project work is slated to begin the following Monday at 7 a.m.
The Pryor Creek City Council approved an agreement with Mayes County to cooperate on roadway and alley maintenance and authorized up to $223,000 to cover material costs for an overlay and striping of about one mile of Northeast First Street (Old Highway 20).
City staff said the county provided a revised, more detailed agreement that better reflects the city's tax distribution and population considerations; the city attorney (Chase) reviewed and approved the agreement, and the mayor said the county had signed it. Council members approved the agreement and a related expenditure for materials and striping to proceed once the maintenance agreement is executed.
The project scope and costs presented to council included: $6,008.64 for advanced work-zone striping, $3,500 for tack oil (at $3.41 per gallon plus $1.25 EPA cost), approximately 2,850 tons of asphalt from Prior Asphalt at $65 per ton (an increase from an initial bid because engineers recommended a 3-inch overlay instead of a 2-inch overlay), and $19,009.50 to Mayes County for lay-down costs at $7 per ton. City staff said the higher overlay thickness could add five to ten years of service life for the road; the requested authorization also included contingency funds.
Council members said county District 1 and District 2, and county contractors have cooperated closely on the project. Staff said the overlay would begin Monday at 7 a.m.; city crews will handle traffic control and county crews or contractors will perform lay-down operations. Advance striping will follow after paving is complete, with a short interval when the road may be unstriped.
Council approved the expenditure and directed staff to proceed with project mobilization and coordination with Mayes County. The mayor and staff emphasized the intent to foster the cooperative relationship with the county and noted this agreement does not commit the city to future, unlimited county projects; additional projects will require separate agreements or amendments.
