JUNE 2024 – NO BIDS WERE ACCEPTED AND WE HAVE OPENED A NEW BID OPPORTUNITY-NONE OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS POST IS RELEVANT TO THE NEW REQUEST FOR BIDS
Bids are open for the construction of a new public works facility for the Luther Public Works Authority. Paid for with grant funding, the new “shop” will house all public works equipment in a secure facility and includes a temporary shelter for lost dogs. It will be located by the water tower at 8th and Cedar.
The Town of Luther will receive sealed bids until 1:00 p.m. on March 7, 2024, when they will be opened and read aloud at the Town Hall, 108 S. Main St., Luther, OK 73054.

Currently, the town utilizes the “old Town Hall” on Main Street and the back alley for public works equipment with little space for repairs and maintenance. The new facility will also feature an animal shelter. While the town does not have an animal control department, occasionally, animals must be housed and can be available for adoption. The facility will include an indoor shelter and an outdoor run.
The relocation of the public works facility and equipment to the new shop will make a building on Main Street available for lease or purchase, said town officials. The building was originally a movie theater.
