AMENDMENT NO. THREE TO CONTRACT NO. K-0910-185: BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND THE ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA GOVERNMENTS (ACOG) EXTENDING THE CONTRACT UNTIL JUNE 30, 2014, FOR THE CANADIAN RIVER WASTELOAD ALLOCATION STUDY.
Body
BACKGROUND: On June 22, 2010, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved Contract No. K-0910-185 with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), to coordinate a study of the Canadian River as required by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ). NUA approved Amendment One, extending the contact through June 30, 2012 on February 14, 2012, and Amendment Two, was approved July 24, 2012, extending the contact through June 30, 2013.
The NUA has partnered, through ACOG, with other communities which discharge to the Canadian River to study impacts on the river water quality. We selected a consultant who completed a sampling and testing plan, the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). The QAPP was approved by EPA, Region 6 in Dallas on March |1013|5, 2010, which completed Phase 1. Phase 2 began with sampling for testing on July 1, 2010. An interim report of modeling progress was submitted to ODEQ during October 2011, then to EPA in December. EPA comments were received April 11, 2012. The Draft Final Report was received September 20, 2012. ODEQ made comments and a final report was received February 6, 2013. However, ODEQ made additional modified comments. A revised final memorandum was received June 6, 2013, and is currently under review for comments.
DESCRIPTION: ACOG is only allowed by its charter to contract for a single fiscal year. Therefore, the contract needs renewal for Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2014, or through June 30, 2014. The only change by Amendment 3 is the time extension.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend NUA approve Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. K-0910-185; and authorize the execution thereof.
