Background:
In 2018, the citizens of Broken Arrow approved the General Obligation Bond which included the funding for a Fire Station to be located in the Northern part of the current City Limits. In 2023 the location for Fire Station #8 was approved to be built at the Public Safety Training Center with its close proximity to the turnpike entrance and the development in North Broken Arrow. City Staff hired GH2 Architects to design Fire Station #8 and produce Construction Documents.
Fire Station #8 was advertised for Bid on January 8, 2026 and January 15, 2026. A Pre-Bid meeting was held on January 15, 2026. There were ten (10) bids received on January 29, 2026. The Certified Bid Tabulation is attached. This project included a base bid to build a 3-bay Fire Station and related site work, bid alternate 1: to add a fourth apparatus bay, bid alternate 2: to replace the existing asphalt drive, and bid alternate 3: a contingency allowance of $150,000. The apparent lowest bidder was Ascend Commercial Builders. However, based on ongoing issues with a current project closeout, warranty work adversely affecting the City of Broken Arrow, and the small difference in value between the two lowest bidders, City Staff recommends Myers-Cherry Construction, LLC as the lowest responsible bidder for $6,029,085.00 for the base bids and all three alternates. The Architects’ Estimate for these items was $5,874,438.89
Cost: $ 6,029,085.00
Funding Source: 2018 GO Bond
