Title
CONTRACT K-1920-15: BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN MUNICIPAL AUTHORITY AND STUDIO ARCHITECTURE IN THE AMOUNT OF $206,700 TO PROVIDE DESIGN, BIDDING, CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION, AND AS-BUILT SERVICES FOR THE SANITATION TRUCK WASH, THE SANITATION CONTAINER MAINTENANCE, AND THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES.
Body
BACKGROUND: Under this contract, a new truck wash facility, a new container maintenance facility, and a new household hazardous waste facility will be designed to allow for the Sanitation and Environmental Services Divisions to more efficiently accomplish their missions. Both the truck wash and container maintenance facilities have design and construction funds which were allocated in fiscal year 2018-2019 (FYE 2019). Funds originally allocated in FYE 2019 for a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) are proposed to be used for the household hazardous waste facility.
Currently, the Sanitation Division spends approximately $30,000 per year on contracted-out truck washing. Through this new facility, Sanitation will be able to eliminate this outside cost and other City departments could utilize the facility for vehicle cleaning through Internal Service charges between the departments. The facility will initially be designed to utilize potable water but will be configured to allow for future use of reclaimed water from the adjacent Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) to reduce potable water consumption and further environmental sustainability efforts. The facility will include a new building, pavement improvements, connection to water and sewer facilities, and an automated wash system.
The new container maintenance facility will be designed to provide a safe, efficient building to allow for welding and painting of solid waste dumpsters and containers. The current facilities are inadequate and don't meet industry standards for welding and painting operations. The proposed facility will be co-located with the truck wash facility north of the WRF.
