Title
CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING OF BID 1213-52, THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY’S APPROVAL OF CONTRACT K-1213-92 WITH MATTHEWS TRENCHING COMPANY, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,256,224.50; PERFORMANCE BOND B-1213-38; STATUTORY BOND B-1213-39, AND MAINTENANCE BOND MB-1213-29 FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE PLANE WATER LINE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT; AND BUDGET TRANSFER.
Body
BACKGROUND: The Segment A Waterline project (WB0134) was created in the Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2007 budget process; the project was to install approximately 2,700 linear feet (LF) of 42-inch water line (in the “normal pressure plane”) between the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and 24th Avenue NE. Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) was hired to perform water modeling and design services for the Segment A Waterline project under Contract K-0607-122. Water modeling indicated the need to improve the service to the high pressure plane (HPP) in northeastern Norman, in lieu of constructing Segment A (see attached map of High Pressure Plane area of Norman’s water utility).
In FYE09, the High Pressure Plane (HPP) Waterline Improvements project (WA0131) was budgeted to install approximately 5,300 linear feet (LF) of 12-inch water line and 2,700 LF of 16-inch water line to serve the southern and northern areas of the high pressure plane, respectively. Under Contract K-0607-122, PEC provided geotechnical exploration, surveying and design services pursuant to the HPP Waterline Improvements project. PEC will continue to perform limited construction administrative services during construction of the HPP improvements, if approved.
The HPP Waterline Improvements now includes approximately 3,200 LF of 24-inch waterline between the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and 24th Avenue NE, and approximately 5,900 LF of 16-inch waterline along Robinson between the WTP to 36th Avenue NE and then south to Alameda. The originally proposed pipe diameters for this project were increased to ensure adequate water supply to the high pressure p...
