County approves $350,000 MKEC contract to design turnpike frontage roads
Summary
The board approved a $350,000 contract with MKEC Engineers to design frontage roads between 15th and 29th Street in the eastern part of the county, including one-way frontage roads on both sides of the turnpike.
Oklahoma County approved a $350,000 contract with MKEC Engineers to design the first segment of frontage roads along the turnpike in the county’s eastern area.
An engineering representative outlined the project, saying the design covers the stretch from 15th to 29th Street and will create one-way frontage roads on both sides of the turnpike. "This is to design our first piece of the turnpike frontage roads in the eastern part of the county," the engineer said. After a motion and a second, the board approved the contract on a voice vote.
The engineer described the cost as fair and reasonable for the work, and the approval starts the design phase; construction costs and future approvals will be presented separately as the project advances through procurement and budgeting stages.
Next steps include contract execution and the design work by MKEC. The county did not provide a construction timeline or funding source in the meeting record.
