Fire Department puts temporary hold on building new training facility

Sapulpa Fire Department Chief David Taylor spoke on his decision to reject all bids for building the new fire training facility and administrative building at the City Council study session on Monday, April 5th.  

The fourteen bids for the project, which will be located off Route 66, just east of the auto museum, all came in well over the budget of $1.545M. The lowest bid was submitted by A.C. Owen Construction, LLC in the amount of $2.68M for the base bid and $1.28M for the training tower, totaling $3.96M. Taylor contended that based on these numbers, which they hoped would not come in over $3M, all the bids should be rejected and the project should be considered for re-bidding at a future date and time.
