Quail Place Tributary improvements (Woodland Park)
Quail Place Tributary improvements (Woodland Park)
This project is one of the suggested projects to improve the City’s drainage systems in the 2004 Master Drainage Plan, conducted by Meshek & Associates. The project has been approved for the GO Bond election due to flooding issues at Cherokee Hills Drive in recent years with some of the larger rainfall events.
The existing channel between Evergreen Drive and Cherokee Hills Drive has a two-year drainage capacity. Though this project would not eliminate all drainage issues, it would target elimination of the rainfall events that cause nuisance flooding. The project would essentially increase the size and capacity of the existing concrete lined drainage channel and the box culvert under Cherokee Hills Drive.

Candlestick Court storm drain (Camelot)
Candlestick Court storm drain (Camelot)
Rainfall events this past spring revealed a drainage system that is in need of repair. Multiple large sink holes appeared in the back yards of homes located along Candlestick Court in Colonial Estates.
After further investigation, it was determined the existing 71 inch by 47 inch corrugated metal pipe is corroded to the point that it has collapsed in multiple locations. Over time, this resulted in the creation of large cavities that eventually created the sink holes. The project will replace approximately 500 feet of pipe from Camelot to the end of the pipe where it daylights at Rice Creek near the south end of Candlestick Court.

Eighth Street storm drain rehab, Shawnee to Choctaw
Eighth Street storm drain rehab, Shawnee to Choctaw
The existing storm drainage system located on Eighth Street between Shawnee Avenue and Choctaw Avenue is regularly in need of repair. The Street Department included this project as a priority for replacement when requesting projects for the upcoming bond election.
Street Department crews have made multiple repairs, but the system is constructed of clay tile pipe, which is very old and brittle. Each time a repair is needed, it is difficult to find a point to connect to the existing system as it falls apart very easily. This project will replace approximately 1,300 feet of 24 inch pipe located underneath Eighth Street.

*What are “70 percent” and “30 percent” projects?
Oklahoma law requires that 70 percent of the projects in each category be specified on the ballot for a GO bond election. The remaining 30 percent are “discretionary” and are not placed on the ballot. Discretionary projects are not legally required for completion; however, the City of Bartlesville has completed all projects identified as “30 percent projects” in the past.
Project costs include the estimated cost to complete each project as well as the Cost of Issuance (COI). The COI is based on what it would cost to issue the bonds per project, which is roughly 2 percent of each project cost, rounded for clarity. “Seventy percent” project costs are presented as they will appear on the ballot.
