Body
BACKGROUND: The S.E. Bishop Interceptor improvements were recommended by the Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) as adopted by the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) on November 13, 2001. The WWMP proposed the enlargement of interceptors to meet obligated and future capacity demands. Obligated interceptor needs, serving existing customers and contractual obligations as of August 2001, are funded by the Sewer Sales Tax (SST). Enlargement of interceptors to serve full build out (FBO) needs under the Norman 2025 Land Use and Transportation Plan (2025 Plan) is funded by the Sewer Excise Tax (SET).
On June 10, 2003, the NUA approved Contract No. K-0203-154 with Chiang, Patel & Yerby, Inc., now CP&Y, Inc., for design of improvements to the Southeast Norman Interceptors, now entitled as S.E. Bishop Interceptor project.
As shown on the attached map, the S.E. Bishop Interceptor improvements were broken into multiple phases to keep pace with ongoing development or allow additional time to acquire necessary easements. Phase 1 was complete on February 16, 2004 at a cost of $371,930. Phase 2, Section 1 was complete on January 26, 2007 at a cost of $1,036,205, and Phase 2, Sections 2A and 2B were recently completed on August 15, 2013 at a cost of $1,114,231.
DISCUSSION: Phase 2, Section 2C will complete the project. It consists of approximately 5,500 linear feet (LF) of 24-inch sewer located south of Highway 9 between the former Saxon Publishing facility and Classen Boulevard. Much of the sewer is very deep, with about 2,800 LF at depths between 20 and 28 feet.
