The Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved Contract No. K-1213-88 with Urban Contractors, L.L.C., in the amount of $2,774,200 on June 11, 2013, for the Sewer Maintenance Project FYE 2011. During pipe bursting operations, a failed storm sewer was discovered under the parking lot of Bishops Landing Apartments located at 333 East Brooks Street and on the same sewer line, an eight-inch water main was found that conflicted with the required alignment of the proposed sewer main replacement. Materials were furnished by the Line Maintenance Division. Upon initiating the water line excavation, existing damage to the water line was discovered which required more excavation for sufficient water line replacement. Change Order No. One to Contract No. K-1213-88 increases the contract amount by $19,334 for a revised contract amount of $2,793,534 has been approved by the City Manager to pay for these unforeseen cost.
