Claremore council approves $998,825 construction contract for Baker Hughes feeder project
Summary
The council approved awarding a $998,825.25 construction contract to Exodus Energy to build conduit and directional-bore crossings for the Baker Hughes exit feeder, with staff saying the low bidder was qualified and the project fits budget estimates.
The Claremore City Council voted to award the construction contract for the Baker Hughes exit feeder project to Exodus Energy for $998,825.25. Staff said the work will tie the west Baker Hughes facility into the east-side substation and free capacity on the citys primary grid.
"This project facility is currently served off the city's primary grid," a staff presenter told the council, describing the scope as conduit installation with significant directional boring across Highway 66 and the BNSF railroad. Staff identified Exodus Energy of Shawnee as the low bidder and said references and qualifications included in the bid packet were checked.
Council members asked whether the contractor had previously done municipal work and whether the bid fit the budget. Staff answered they had not used Exodus Energy before but that the company had performed similar work. The presenter noted another bidder the city had used in the past could not submit a bid because of bonding capacity, and staff called the bid "reasonable."
The motion to award the contract was moved and seconded. A roll-call vote followed and council members recorded affirmative responses in the meeting transcript; the clerks record in this excerpt does not include a separate written tally. The contract will allow conduit installation and crossing work intended to increase capacity for the Baker Hughes site.
The council did not specify any amendments to the contract during the discussion. The staff presenter offered to answer further questions and confirmed the project remains within the budget estimate provided to the council.
