The OPWA purchases 100 to 250 water meters annually through the bidding process. The bulk
purchase of meters affords a cost savings in terms of cash outlay and delivery of the meters is
taken in quantities of not less than ten meters per order. Bid specifications were advertised on
November 2, 1995, as well as being mailed to five vendors. Only one bid was received, that
being from Water Products of Oklahoma. Mr Ramey moved, seconded by Mr Helm, to award
a contract to Water Products of Oklahoma Inc, Owasso, OK for the purchase of 250 - 5/8" x
3/4" meters at $76.95 each, and 10 - 1" meters at $92.55 each in the total amount of $20,163.
AYE: Ramey, Helm, Burris
NAY: Ewing
Motion carried 3-1.
ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING
SERVICES FOR THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM MASTER PLANNING
A comprehensive master plan for orderly infrastructure development, expansion and upgrading
of the wastewater collections system is necessary as development occurs in areas not presently
served by sanitary sewers. A task group formulated a scope of work for engineering consultants
for the project, and received qualification statements from five firms on August 25th. Each firm
was evaluated and ranked by the task group. The top two firms (FHC Inc of Tulsa and Mansur-
Daubert-Strella Inc/RJN of Tulsa and Dallas) then submitted a detailed scope of services and
proposed fee. The two firms were again ranked for negotiation of contract items and fee.
Following some minor manhour modifications, an agreement was reached within the $60,000
budget limit. Chairman Burris moved, seconded by Mr Helm, to award a contract for
engineering design services to FHC Inc, Tulsa, OK for wastewater system master planning in
the lump sum amount of $60,000, and authorization for the Chair to execute the agreement.
