Duncan City Council, DPUA approve bids, contracts
Duncan City Councilors delved into a brief business meeting Tuesday night to approve street department bids and a fireworks show contract. Prior to approving bids, the Duncan Police Department was presented certificates from the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police. City Councilors moved into approving consent agenda items, which included a fire productions contract with Western Enterprises, Inc. for the Red, White and Boom Fireworks Show for $25,000. The City of Duncan and the Chickasaw Nation will split the cost of the fireworks show, with the City of Duncan's part at $25,000. The fireworks show will take place July 3 at Abe Raizen Park. The board approved the consent agenda with a 4-0 vote. Councilman Gene Brown was absent. Next, the city board opened up bids for various street department road materials. City Manager Chris Deal said bids for the street department materials and supplies were opened May 28 and are good for six-months. The board approved low bids from OMMI for asphalt concrete for $62 and cold lay asphalt from T&G Construction and OMMI for $95. Councilors also approved bids from Dolese for rock, $17.90; Type A Aggregate Base, $14.95; 1 1/2' crusher run, $12.60; RIP RAP, 12', $34.25; RIP RAP, 18', $34.25; Class A concrete, $174 and Class A concrete HES, $186. The board approved the bids with a 4-0 vote. In another segment, the Duncan Public Utilities Authority opened up various six-month materials and supplies for water distribution. Deal said bids were opened May 28 and staff recommends to award all bids as indicated. 'Items will be purchased from the low bidder,' he said. 'However, where only one or two items — in a group or from one vendor — are low, the items may be purchased from the low bidder of the majority of like items.' Deal said this will make ordering more efficient. 'The City should realize a savings in freight costs as well,' he said. The board approved the bids with a 4-0 vote. The DPUA board also approved pay requests to: Landmark Structures, LP for $143,640 for services with the El Rancho elevated storage tank project; Landmark Structures, LP for $171,532 for services with the El Rancho elevated storage tank project; and Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. for $7,304.35 for services with the chlorination/de-chlorination improvements project. The DPUA then approved to enter into an agreement for professional services with Freese and Nichols for $194,500 for the city-wide tank inspections project. The next Duncan City Council meeting will convene at 5:15 p.m. June 24 inside council chambers, located inside the Duncan Police Department.

Fallen Duncan police officer to be inducted into national memorial
DUNCAN, S.C. (WSPA) – An officer with the Duncan Police Department who was killed in the line of duty 86 years ago will be inducted into the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial next week. On June 23, 1939, Officer Charlie Smith arrested and a drunk man, Duncan Police Chief Greg Satterfield said. Smith even told the man that once he sobered up, he'd get some dinner. 'What Officer Smith didn't know was that Mr. Moore had stowed a shotgun back behind the old coal storage building for the railroad,' explained Satterfield. 'So, he calls Charlie out. Charlie gets out of his patrol vehicle and meets him around the corner of that building where, Mr. Moore shot him in the in the leg.' Officer Smith died from the gunshot. Smith's granddaughter, Teresa Proctor, said that while she never got to meet her grandfather, stories of him have prevailed through the generations. She recalled stories her mother would share with her about her late grandfather. 'Oh, she really loved her father. Her mother died when she was three years old, so she was very close to her father and talked about what a good dad he was,' Proctor said. 'It's an honor that they're recognizing my grandfather after all these years.' Smith's family members, along with Chief Satterfield and police officers will attend the induction ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 13. 'We always say 'Whether it's fallen first responders, fallen military, we will never forget.' Therefore, 86 years later, we never forgot Charlie Smith and got his name on the wall to give him the recognition that he deserved,' Satterfield remarked. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is, according to their website, 'the nation's monument to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.' The ceremony takes place during National Police Week, from May 11 to May 17. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
