The Pittsburg County Board of County Commissioners voted on April 13 to advertise sealed bids for construction of a new Bugtussle Volunteer Fire Department building under Resolution 26‑234.
The resolution directs the county clerk to accept sealed bids until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 8, 2026, and to open bids on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in the Board of County Commissioners Conference Room. The county placed a bid package and an invitation to bid on file in the county clerk's office and online.
Construction specifications included in the meeting packet describe a 40‑foot by 60‑foot metal building with 14‑foot sidewalls, four insulated barrel‑style 10'×12' overhead doors, one insulated walk‑in door, eight electric door openers (two per door), a 200‑amp electrical service panel, high‑bay LED shop lighting, R‑10 insulation (roll or blown), 26‑gauge exterior panels in gray, and a 40'×60' concrete slab, 4 inches thick with a thickened perimeter footing. The packet notes that Commissioner Ross Selman will provide dirt work and leveling for the site and that bid documents and drawn plans are available at the county clerk's office.
Selman read the resolution to the board and moved for approval; the motion carried unanimously. The resolution reserves the board's right to reject any and all bids and to re‑advertise according to county procurement rules.
Bidders and interested contractors were directed to obtain the full bid package from the Pittsburg County Clerk’s Office, 115 E. Carl Albert Parkway, Room 103, McAlester, OK 74501, or online at pittsburg.okcounties.org. The county's minutes show the motion passed with no recorded dissent.
