Renovations and upgrades remain on track for the Stephens County Fairgrounds despite recent severe storms and substantial rainfall.
During Monday’s weekly county meeting, the board received an update for the American Rescue Plan Act projects. Commissioner Russell Morgan said crews will continue to pour concrete inside the building to avoid the weather and any additional rain coming this week.
He said there’s a lot of work to get done at the Stephens County Fairgrounds and construction crews continue to make progress.
For the Stephens County Courthouse renovation project, the county board received two quotes for interior signage.
Chairman Todd Churchman said Texoma Builders sent a quote for $5,306 and Walker Companies sent a quote for $9,865.37.
Churchman said Texoma Builders didn’t distinguish what type of signage in the quote.
Churchman said Walker Companies sent in a Type-R1 sign.
“The engraved ADA signs are the Type-TR,” Churchman said.
Churchman said the board isn’t in too big of a hurry and recommended they wait and talk with Construction Manager Butch Lawson.
The board took no action.
In other news, the board approved:
• To accept a donation for 230 tons of millings from Oklahoma Department of Transportation in District $1.
• A final ODOT Pay Claim for engineering services to Stephens County Rural Water District #5 for $45,765 in District #1.
