The Bartlesville City Council voted Monday (Feb. 22) to approve a bid award for the Johnstone pavilion project — a multi-phase project that includes construction of a 6,000 square foot open-sided pavilion at the entrance of Johnstone Park.
The initial phase of the pavilion project consists of engineering design, associated sidewalks and utility relocations and connections, while the second phase involves additional paving and sidewalks and installation of a prefabricated restroom and associated utilities.
Funding for the project will come from the 2014 and 2015 Community Development Block Grants and matching City funds, utilizing funds from the ½-cent Capital Improvement Project funds.
Kalka Construction will complete the project for a cost of $345,537.
Director of Engineering Micah Siemers told the council that utility relocations at the site are expected to begin as soon as the contract is secured, which usually takes about 30 days. The project should be complete by late spring, early summer, he said.
