When the OPWA secured a loan from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the Board required
the selection of an engineering firm for the design of improvements. NOVA Engineering was
selected and has completed the design plans and specifications. Contract documents have been
completed, with estimated cost of the construction to be $2,600,000. It is anticipated that
construction could start in February 1995 and is expected to continue for 365 days. Mr Ramey
moved, seconded by Chairman Duke, to approve the bid documents and authorize the solicitation

ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
APPROVAL OF A QUIT CLAIM DEED FROM THE OWASSO PUBLIC
WORKS AUTHORITY TO THE OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY FOR TITLE COMMITMENT PURPOSES RELATING TO THE
PRECISION MANUFACTURING/MAX BUCHANAN PROJECT SUCH
DEED TO ELIMINATE A REVERSION CLAUSE.
When the OPWA deeded the land to the Owasso Economic Development Authority for the
construction of the Max Buchanan Company building, the deed contained a reversion clause that
required that the land be returned to the OPWA at the end of two years if it had not been used
for economic development purposes. It has been used for economic development within that
two-year time frame, and the title insurance company working with Precision Components to
acquire the building, has required that the reversion clause be removed. The City Attorney
prepared a Quit -Claim Deed to handle this housekeeping matter. Mr Burris moved, seconded
by Mr Ramey, to approve the Quit -Claim Deed.
