City Council approves NPL bid for State Highway 76 gas line project

The Tuttle City Council made significant strides in infrastructure development during their meeting on March 10, 2025, approving key contracts for two major projects.

First on the agenda was the acceptance of the contract and bonds from Slattery Construction Company for the lift station rehabilitation project. This approval follows a previous bid acceptance, ensuring that the project can move forward without delay. Council members unanimously voted in favor, signaling strong support for the initiative.

The council then turned its attention to the State Highway 76 Gas Line project, awarding a bid to NPL Mid America LLC for $816,721.70. This bid came in significantly lower than the original estimate of $1.4 million, which is expected to reduce the city's financial burden from approximately $250,000 to an estimated $125,000 to $150,000. The project will upgrade existing gas lines, enhancing service for local customers.

Council members expressed optimism about the timeline, with contractors ready to begin work promptly, aligning with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's urgency for progress. The project will involve upgrading a four-inch gas line to an eight-inch line, improving capacity and reliability for the community.

Overall, the council's decisions reflect a proactive approach to infrastructure improvements, promising enhanced services for Tuttle residents while managing costs effectively.
