Oklahoma County commissioners on Dec. 29 approved bond-funded progress payments for county construction projects that included a $211,108,000.55 payment to LINGO Construction for work on the ICB project.

County staff presented a series of progressive payments drawn from bond funds and asked the board to authorize the disbursements. Speaker 10 described the payments and moved the recommended approvals; the board voted to approve the motion by voice.

In related actions, the board approved a $192,470.66 progressive payment tied to the ICB project and a cash fund appropriation of $125,431.75 to Kraus Capital for communications work. Speaker 10 also reported a smaller contract for fiber relocation with OMES and the PBA in the amount of $8,229.25 to be paid by the sheriff’s office; that contract was approved as presented.

The payments were presented as part of routine bond-fund progress reporting and no substantive public comment or opposition was recorded during the motion and vote. The board moved on to other business after the approvals.
