The Grove City Council on July 25 unanimously approved multiple subcontract awards for construction of a new police station at 1141 NEO Loop in Grove, Okla. The awards followed a recommendation from Timberlake Construction and were approved by motion of Councilmember Ivan Devitt, seconded by Councilmember Andy Stewart.

The decision matters because it commits specific contractors to key building trades and moves the project from bidding toward construction. City officials present included City Manager Darren Cook and Public Works Director Deric Douthit.

Council records list the awarded bid packages and contractors as follows: Package 05A (structural steel fabrication and erection) — Metal Buildings Industries; Package 07A (roofing and metal panels) — Sooner Recon; Package 07B (joint sealants) — NDN Waterproofing; Package 09A (insulation, drywall and ceilings) — SW Drywall LLC; Package 10A (specialties, material only) — Timberlake Construction; Package 13A (metal building systems) — Metal Buildings Industries; Package 32A (fencing) — Liberty Fence & Supply. The motion to approve passed by a 5-0 vote: Peggy Steed, Andy Stewart, Marty Dyer, Ivan Devitt and Mayor Ed Trumbull voting aye; no nays were recorded.

The meeting record does not specify contract amounts, schedule milestones, or funding sources for the police station; those details were not stated during the special session. The transcript contains no other discussion or public comment on the item.

The council convened the special meeting at 4:00 p.m. and took the police station bid votes as part of the session’s two construction items. The meeting adjourned at 4:06 p.m.
