Midwest City EDA approves Donnelly Construction contract for Centrium railroad spur
Summary
The Special Economic Development Authority voted to award a contract to Donnelly Construction LLC to build a railroad spur intended to serve the Centrium project; the transcript lists a contract figure with unclear formatting and notes hospital authority financing will also require approval.
The Special Economic Development Authority of Midwest City voted to award a construction contract to Donnelly Construction LLC to build a railroad spur intended to serve the Centrium project, approving the measure by voice vote.
Carrie Evenson, assistant public works director, told the authority the work "is for the Centrillium Railroad spur as part of the economic development agreement" and that "we received 2 bids and, and this 1 was the lowest bid and it was under what, we were expecting." The authority moved to approve the contract and passed the motion by voice vote.
A speaker at the meeting noted the property for the spur sits on EDA-owned land but will be financed by the Midwest City Hospital Authority, meaning both bodies must sign off. The transcript records a contract amount written as "$846006.91.88" and a completion period of 90 calendar days; the dollar figure's formatting is unclear in the record and was not further clarified in the meeting.
The contract delegates authority to the chairman to sign and execute the agreement. The item also appears on the Hospital Authority agenda and will require that body’s formal approval and execution as part of the financing arrangement.
Next steps: the hospital authority addressed the item later in the session and likewise approved it by voice vote; the agreed-upon contract and timeframe will move forward pending execution by authorized officials.
