The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved construction and transportation agreements at its Dec. 23 meeting.
Commissioner Joe Kegin Jr. moved to approve Construction Management Agreements with Circuit Engineering District #8 (CED #8) for Project Location 102nd ($27,015.70) and for CN 343 ($6,021.22); both motions were approved by recorded unanimous votes. The board also approved Supplemental and Modification Agreement No. 1 with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for Project No. STP‑224F(111)PART3CI, State Job No. 29874(04)(05)(06)(07) on Spring Creek with an estimated CIRB cost of $154,354.00 and for Project No. STP‑224F(111)PART2CI, State Job No. 33049(04)(05)(06)(07) on Turkey Creek with an estimated CIRB cost of $328,038.00.
Separately, the board authorized the chairman to sign a Shuterra Roadside Right‑Of‑Way Integrated Vegetation Management Agreement for District #2, with an initial term from Dec. 23, 2024 through Dec. 22, 2025 and quarterly payments of $11,156.25. All motions passed with Aye votes recorded for Wedel, Maly and Kegin.
Why it matters: the agreements secure construction management support and state cooperation for roadway maintenance and improvements in Garfield County, and establish a year‑long roadside vegetation management contract for District #2 that will affect roadside operations and maintenance budgeting.
What’s next: county roads staff and the District 2 office will coordinate project scheduling and procurement as needed under the approved agreements.
