The Rogers County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of procurement awards, budget transfers and reimbursements at a December 2024 regular meeting.
County staff reviewed low bids and recommended split awards for the 2025-21 Road and Bridge six-month materials contract, naming vendors including Anchor Stone, APAC Tulsa, Prior/Pryor Stone, DP Supply, Sunbelt and Scurlock. A motion to approve the awards passed unanimously, with roll call recorded as Deletcher Aye, Hendricks Aye and Burrows Aye.
Staff also presented results from the 2025-23 hot-mix and liquid asphalt solicitation. Liquid asphalt items were awarded to Coastal Energy; a range of hot-mix products were awarded to Prior Asphalt, Apex Central, Tulsa Asphalt, Graphco and Logan County Asphalt. "It's straight across the board low bid," staff said during the presentation. The commissioners voted to accept the recommended awards.
The board approved utility permits for Cox Communications to parallel and cross county roads at two described locations in Rogers County (U-24-107 and U-24-108) and confirmed clarifications to the 2025-21 awards, including striping and railroad crossing work to Direct Traffic Control at $900 per crossing and a split award for gabion rock between Pryor Rock Creek and Prior Stone.
On finance items, commissioners authorized a $40,000 transfer from District 3 highway sales tax maintenance and operations to rentals/leases to pay off two dump truck leases. They also approved transferring $120,000 from District 3 maintenance and operations to capital outlay to purchase a Cat roller after testing a rental unit and deciding it met needs.
The board approved a drawdown authorization for CDBG CV/CETA invoice #1357 to reimburse workforce scholarships and expenses totaling $36,647.60; staff indicated roughly $100,000 more may be available from the state for the scholarship program. Resolutions were passed to deposit reimbursed funds from the Rogers County Election Board (including $602.85 and $86.75 for part-time election salaries), and the board approved routine claims, payroll and 65 blanket purchase orders totaling $173,220.
Commissioners also voted to enter an executive session under Oklahoma statute title 25 §307(B)(3) to discuss the purchase or appraisal of real property; they later ended the executive session and reported there would be no action arising from it.
The meeting adjourned at 10:05 a.m.
