The Bartlesville City Council approved a $53,855 design contract with CEC Corporation for engineering design for the reconstruction of Yale Drive between Adams Boulevard and Frank Phillips Boulevard.
The Yale Drive reconstruction project was among $4.24 million in streets and bridges projects approved in the 2020 General Obligation Bond election — $850,000 was budgeted for the Yale Drive reconstruction project, which includes design services.
“This is currently a concrete street with curb and gutter poured integral with the rest of the roadway,” said Director of Engineering Micah Siemers. “The intent with this project is to retain the existing curb by saw-cutting the concrete to create a salvaged concrete curb and gutter section and then rebuild the rest of the road with an asphalt pavement section.”
CEC Corporation will provide engineering design services on the project, including a geotechnical investigation, preparation of 60 percent plans and engineer’s estimate, 90 percent plans and estimate, final plans and estimate, and bidding services.
“CEC has contracted with the City of Bartlesville on multiple successful projects in the past few years, including the Tuxedo Reconstruction project between Madison and Bison, the Price Road dowl joint retrofit project, and the Lee Lake parking lot improvements project,” Siemers said.
Staff anticipates final plans will be submitted and ready for bidding within 100 days of notice to proceed.
