CONTRACT K-1415-144: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN AND URBAN CONTRACTORS, L.L.C., IN THE AMOUNT OF $38,325 FOR THE SANTA FE DEPOT SEWER LINE REPAIR PROJECT AND ADOPTION OF PROJECT AGENT RESOLUTION R-1415-109.
Body
BACKGROUND: Each year, the Capital Improvement Project Budget includes a project to cover costs associated with existing facility maintenance. This category includes projects from all departments; and also carries a contingency fund amount to cover other projects which arise during the fiscal year. Recently, it was discovered that the sewer lines which service the Santa Fe Depot have experienced significant failure, which have resulted in repeated back-ups in the basement of the building. The space is currently leased to the Norman Performing Arts Studio. They operate their non-profit business in the building, as well as keeping the building open each day for AMTRAK passenger service. The space is often rented for parties, weddings, receptions, and is used as an art gallery throughout the year.
The building is owned by the City of Norman; and, as such, received regular maintenance on its structure and mechanical systems. However, there has been a noticeable increase this spring in the maintenance calls to service the sewer line in the building basement. Because of this, the Line Maintenance division was enlisted to determine if the sewer service line was compromised in some way. It was discovered during this time that the old cast iron sewer line is no longer intact between the building and the sewer main line that runs east-west in the lawn area south of the building. This line is in need of replacement with a modern Polyvinyl Chloride sewer line.
