Title
FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT OF CONTRACT K-1819-10 BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND CENTRAL CONTRACTING SERVICES, INC., FOR THE LAKEHURST DRIVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

BACKGROUND: Over the past several years, residents along Lakehurst Drive in the Oakhurst Addition have experienced flooding and property damage due to stormwater overflows in the street. This portion of the Oakhurst Addition was developed in 1972. The developer met all City standards for public improvements; however, flooding was still occurring in this neighborhood.

The property owners donated a public drainage easement for the stormwater infrastructure that was located between 1802 and 1806 Lakehurst Drive, and it was accepted by Council on October 9, 2018.
