CONTRACT NO. K-1314-137: A RIGHT-OF-WAY, PUBLIC UTILITY, AND ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) FOR FEDERAL AID PROJECT STP-114C(255)AG, STATE JOB NO. 26836(04), FOR THE MAIN STREET BRIDGE OVER BROOKHAVEN CREEK CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION R-1314-119.

BACKGROUND: The existing West Main Street Bridge over Brookhaven Creek was constructed in 1972. The bridge is located between 36th Avenue S.W. and 48th Avenue S.W.
