District 1 County Commissioner Jeff Moss and District 2 Commissioner Ray Alan Shimanek announced Monday that the Dover-Crescent Road which was closed after two major washouts in recent flooding, has been reopened its entire length.

Commissioners reported that the washouts have been filled in and pavement repair work completed.

The road is located in both Districts 1 and 2 in Kingfisher County before entering Logan County to the east.

Dover-Crescent Road starts at its juncture with U.S. 81 south of Dover and ends at its juncture with S.H. 74 at Crescent.

Commissioners awarded a contract to Cummins Equipment Co. to supply a loader for District 1 at a cost of $168,500 at the recommendation of Moss.

The bid was the second lowest submitted but Moss said the Cummins loader was newer and had a better warranty.

The bid notice called for a 2015 or newer unit.

Others submitting bids were O.C.T. Equipment, $185,000, and Yellowhouse Equipment, $163,489.

District 3 Commissioner Heath Dobrovolny made the motion to purchase the equipment from Cummins and it was approved unanimously.

A nomination of Lt. Kyle Bridges to represent Okarche on the Kingfisher County 911 Dispatch Board, succeeding Matthew Blackwood, received unanimous approval as did the following actions: approval of requisitioning and receiving officers for all county departments for the 2019-20 fiscal year, appropriations for the month of June, a bridge inspection report for all three county districts and an invoice of $16,908, a notice to proceed on an asphalt overlay by B&S Construction and Trucking, LLC, on NS Road 2700 (four miles) and EW 780 and 790 roads (one-half mile on each).
