The Chickasha Municipal Authority voted Nov. 3 to award contract CMA2503 for cleaning, repair and painting of the elevated potable water storage tank on Country Club Road to Luckin Barrel Subscription Company of Edmond for $327,640.

A motion to award the contract was made and seconded during the authority's meeting; the roll-call vote recorded approval from members present. Authority members recorded the contract amount into the public record during the motion and instructed staff to proceed with contract execution and scheduling.

The authority also handled a related public-auction agenda item for a small mineral tract earlier in the meeting and later considered acceptance of a lease for a 0.0321 net mineral-acre tract, but the principal public action on the authority agenda was the tank repair contract award.

Questions about the contractor's timeline, warranty or specific scope items were not pursued in depth during the public meeting; procurement and contract files on record with the authority contain full specifications and contract terms.
