Council approves Houston Street contracts, jail GMP, multiple rezonings and two ordinances
Summary
Broken Arrow council approved construction awards for Houston Street projects, accepted a guaranteed maximum price for a jail renovation, approved several rezonings and PUD actions, tabled a final plat, and adopted two easement-closure ordinances.
At its meeting, the Broken Arrow City Council approved a slate of construction and land-use measures that included two Houston Street contracts, a guaranteed maximum price for a jail renovation, several rezonings and adoption of two ordinances.
Engineering staff said TriStar Construction submitted the low bid for the Houston Street project from 23rd Street to Old Highway 51 (the 2018 bond portion) at just over $4 million; the council authorized award to TriStar. Charlie Bright then recommended award to BECO Construction for the Houston Street widening from Aspen to Olive; council approved that award as well. Travis Small told trustees in the companion Municipal Authority session that the waterline portion of the Houston project includes Bama and OWRB loan funds.
Shannon Marshall, special projects division manager, presented a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) from Myers Cherry Construction for the Justice Center renovation and expansion. Marshall said the GMP at 90% construction documents was $4,512,299 for base work and staff recommended an award that would total $4,876,429 if two alternates (roofing, flooring) were added. She said a fiscal-year budget amendment could cover potential roofing costs and that the construction-manager-at-risk model places overage risk on the contractor for amounts above the GMP.
On land-use items, council approved BAZ2310-2025 (rezoning ~7.5 acres from commercial general to commercial heavy at Kenosha & Oneida) after staff and the applicant described drainage, screening and frontage issues and how code and preliminary plans would address them. The council also approved a PUD and associated rezoning for a city-owned tract (PUD2428 & BAZ2425) but amended the PUD to remove a planning-commission-recommended requirement for an access gate at Lynn Lane so the city would not be required to maintain an external gate. BAZ2231-2025 (rezone ~2.42 acres to Commercial Neighborhood at Washington & Lynn Lane) was approved. The conditional final plat PT2421 was tabled to allow additional changes to be reviewed by the planning commission.
The council adopted Ordinance No. 38-95 and Ordinance No. 38-96 (each closing a separate 15-foot easement in the Oakmont Hills plat) and approved their emergency clauses.
Votes were taken by roll call on each item; the transcript records motions and seconds for each item but individual vote tallies and names were not included in the available recording.
