Summary

At a meeting posted Nov. 7, 2025, Oklahoma County's Infrastructure Advisory Committee received an owners'representative update reporting annex elevator abatement awarded, a tentative December turnover to KONE, and steady progress on the behavioral health facility with site training set for Nov. 13.

At a meeting of Oklahoma County's Infrastructure Advisory Committee (meeting notice posted Nov. 7, 2025), the committee received an update on ARPA-funded building projects from the owners'representative, Bill.

Bill said work is proceeding on Metro 1 and Metro 2 elevators and that abatement for the annex elevator shafts has been awarded. "We have awarded the abatement in the first set of banks shafts. Tentatively, the schedule is for December 1 turnover to KONE to get them back in there," Bill said. He added staff would "see how that goes" around holiday scheduling and inspections.

Bill reported the behavioral health services building is advancing: "structural steel erection and deck is going, masonry is going, exterior sheathing, and they're progressing at the exterior walls and begin interior walls." He told the committee site training for that project is scheduled for November 13.

On the annex elevator timeline, Bill said KONE has indicated it can meet the original completion date recorded in the transcript as "12/3126." The transcript's date string is not clearly specified; the record does not provide a fully formed calendar date for that entry. Bill emphasized that final turnover and inspections remain outstanding and that KONE's ability to meet the date is conditioned on those turnovers.

Bill also reported existing HVAC work at the detention center is complete and that staff are coordinating KONE crews to accommodate abatement-related delays. The owners'representative said the projects are generally on track and that remaining scheduling will be finalized as turnovers and inspections proceed.

The committee moved to receive Bill's report and approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript records voice approvals but does not consistently attach numerical vote tallies to each motion.
