CONTRACT K-1415-34: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND RJN GROUP, INC,. IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $228,414 FOR THE PERMANENT WASTEWATER FLOW METERING SERVICES THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2015.
..Body
BACKGROUND: In March 2002, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) approved Contract K-0102-50 with RJN Group, Inc. (RJN) which began a program to measure wastewater flows from satellite collection systems. Satellite systems are privately owned wastewater collection systems that discharge into the NUA system. The scope of services included metering equipment selection, installation, calibration and software for data collection and reporting, and meter maintenance. The contract was amended several times to authorize continued maintenance, data collection and reporting.
The program began with the installation of 10 flow meters at discharge points serving the University of Oklahoma (OU). The wastewater metering program is expected to generate approximately $990,000 for the 12 months ending in October 2014; new sewer rates were implemented in November 2013.
After five years, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was forwarded to interested engineering firms. On August 28, 2007, Contract K-0708-42 for Permanent Wastewater Flow Metering services was awarded to RJN in an annual amount not to exceed $150,000. Under Contract K-0708-42, additional unit prices were provided to perform meter maintenance, if necessary, and install a total of 19 meters. Additional meters were installed at discharges from several satellite systems such as mobile home parks and apartment complexes to determine if permanent meters were justified at these locations. Additional meters were installed to determine wastewater flows prior to and following improvements under the Sewer Maintenance Program (SMP) to determine the effectiveness of the sewer main replacements.
The NUA has approved five amendments to Contract K-0708-42 extending RJN's services through August 27, 2014....
