Title
FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT OF CONTRACT K-1819-11 BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND EMC SERVICES, L.L.C., FOR BART CONNER DRIVE CHANNEL REPAIR PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: In response to multiple citizen complaints regarding flooding of the street at the intersection of Bart Conner Drive and Bart Conner Court along with the associated safety concerns over several years, the City's FYE 2019 Capital Fund includes a project to address the problem. In 2017, the Public Works Stormwater Division began working with Cardinal Engineering to design improvements to the grass-lined drainage ditch just south of the intersection of Bart Conner Drive and the detention area that runs parallel to Bart Conner Drive from the drainage ditch to 36th Ave NW (see attached map). Cardinal Engineering designed a solution to this problem.

On September 25, 2018, City Council approved Contract K-1819-11 between the City of Norman and EMC Services, LLC, for furnishing of all labor and materials for the Bart Conner Drive Channel Repair Project for an amount of $156,384.
