EASEMENT NO. E-1314-16: CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT FROM TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH OF CHRIST IN THE AMOUNT OF $65,609 FOR THE SOUTHEAST BISHOP INTERCEPTOR PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: The SE Bishop Interceptor project (WW0267) is located in southeast Norman (map attached). On March 23, 2004, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved Contract No. K-0304-147 with Chiang, Patel & Yerby, Inc. (CP&Y) for design of the project. Phase 1 was completed in 2004; Phase 2, Section 1 in January 2007; Phase 2, Sections 2A and 2B on July 15, 2013. Phase 2, Section 2C will complete the project and consists of approximately 5,000 linear feet (LF) of 24-inch sewer located south of Highway 9 between the former Saxon Publishing facility and Classen Boulevard.
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).
Permanent easements allow installation and maintenance of the public sewer line. For large diameter sewers such as this project, additional temporary construction easements parallel to the permanent easements are required only during the time construction is in progress. Temporary easements are not filed with the County, but expire upon completion of construction.
DISCUSSION: This is the final easement required to complete project construction. The property owner, Trinity Baptist Church of Christ, previously donated an easement twenty feet (20') wide. However, due to revisions of the sewer line, an additional ten feet (10') is needed. The purchase price of the additional 15,240 square feet (SF) is based on $6.15/SF for property zoned for office use. Easement acquisitions are normally paid at 70% of fair market value, or a calculated cost of $6.15 X 0.70 X 15,240=$65,...
