Contractor approved for park

The Odessa City Council on Tuesday approved a $416,500 bid from Onyx Contractors to construct a new restroom/concession building at Floyd Gwin Park.

The facility will be part of the park’s new Little League Baseball Complex already under construction, Odessa Parks & Recreation Director Steve Patton said.

The building will include four toilets and two sinks in the women’s restroom; two urinals, two toilets and two sinks in the men’s restroom. Additionally, the entire north side of the building will be dedicated to concessions operations with two six-foot wide serving windows.

Council also approved Odessa Fire Rescue’s request to spend $163,979.97 to purchase three Stryker Power Load and Cot Systems that will be installed in three already purchased ambulances. The devices include a cot and stair chair to provide 911 patient care.

Council approved the purchase of two Chevy 2500 Trucks for OFR’s Training Division at a cost of $143,754. These trucks are often used to pull EUV trailers, tire trailers and haul foam to emergency scenes and events.
