BACKGROUND: Bids were opened on the subject project on February 8th, 2024, at 10:30 am. While there was only one Bidder, Duit Construction Company, Inc, and Duit was $2,123,575.12 over the engineers estimate. The total construction project cost ODOT construction inspection fees is $13,782,348.85. The Gore Blvd project from 67th Street to 87th Street is a very important project for Lawton. The project originated in 2001 and the funding agreement was executed in 2018. At the time of the agreement the federal STP funding was 80%. Today because of increases in construction costs and delays such as AT&T taking 2 years to relocate their utilities, the same 80% funding put Lawton at 50% with increased cost. City Engineer, Joseph Painter, P.E., reached out to ODOT by letter dated February 12, 2024, requesting for additional assistance. ODOT agreed to grant additional funds in the amount $1,800,791.70 and having Lawton to pay $450,197.93.
The overall share for the project is $13,782,348.85 with $6,826,000 original share for ODOT and now additional $1,800,791.70 making the total ODOT share as $8,626,791.70. And City's share as $5,155,557.15 (including $450,197.93).
