CONTRACT K-1819-73: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND CP&Y, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $311,000 TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATED TO SURVEY, DESIGN, BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT OF THE FLOOD AVENUE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT FROM ROBINSON STREET TO VENTURE DRIVE AND PROJECT TRANSFER.

BACKGROUND: The Flood Waterline Replacement - Rock Creek Road to Venture Avenue project (WA0328) will replace failing Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) waterline with C-900 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waterline (WL). The existing DIP pipe is not compatible with our acidic clay soils and is failing, causing water outages, water loss and excessive maintenance demands. The project includes 12,700 feet of 16-inch WL from Rock Creek Road to Tecumseh Road along with 2,900 feet of 12-inch WL from Tecumseh Road to Venture Drive.

Thus, the revised contract scope includes 12,700 feet of 16-inch water line and 2,900 feet of 12-inch WL. The waterline replacement project may still be constructed in phases depending on available construction funding.
