Title
CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING BID 1415-22, APPROVAL OF CONTRACT K-1415-17 BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND LANDMARK STRUCTURES I, L.P., IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,636,000; PERFORMANCE BOND B-1415-9, STATUTORY BOND B-1415-10, AND MAINTENANCE BOND MB-1415-5 FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE PLANE ONE (1) MILLION GALLON ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK PROJECT LOCATED IN NORTHEAST NORMAN.
Body
BACKGROUND: The addition of another elevated water storage tank has been envisioned for several years by the Norman Utilities Authority (under capital project Water Tower, WA0293). The existing water distribution system has four elevated storage tanks with a capacity of 4.5 million gallons (MG) as follows:
*??Cascade Tower, steel/concrete composite tank with capacity of 2 MG;
*??Brookhaven Tower, welded steel tank with capacity of 1.5 MG;
*??Boyd Tower, welded steel tank with capacity of 0.5 MG;
*??Robinson Tower, welded steel tank with capacity of 0.5 MG.
Additionally, 7.5 MG of underground water storage is provided at the water treatment plant (WTP) in two "clearwells," for a total storage capacity of 12 MG. Distribution pumping at the smaller 1 MG clearwell feeds the "High Pressure Plane (HPP-an area of elevated topography in northeastern Norman)" while pumps from the larger 6.5 MG clearwell feed the four existing storage tanks and the remainder of the Norman distribution system.
Computer modeling of the water distribution system indicates the greatest need for elevated storage is in the HPP in northeastern Norman. The storage tank is to be located on existing city property north of Robinson and east of 24th Avenue NE as shown on the attached map. The construction of the elevated storage tank will provide storage to meet fire demands and maintain reliable pressures in the HPP even if additional water from the clearwell is not available.
On January 14, 2014, the NUA approved Contract K-1314-98 with Professional Engineering Consultants, P.A. (PEC) to provide d...
