Each year the OPWA solicits bids for the purchase of carts to be used in the residential refuse
collection program. Bids for a unit price for both red and green polycarts were solicited, with
the price per cart and replacement parts guaranteed through June 30, 1995. Three bids were
received, however, only one met the specifications. Staff recommended awarding a contract to
Williams Refuse and authorization of payment for the purchase of an initial order of 100 green
carts. Mr Burris moved, seconded by Mr Ramey, to award the residential refuse collection
container contract to Williams Refuse Equipment Co, Owasso, for a time period through June
30, 1995 to supply residential refuse containers consistent with bid specifications at a cost of
$59.00 per green cart and $61.00 per red cart, and authorization for the payment of $5900 for

METERS.
Water meters are purchased in bulk each year for installation at new construction and
replacement of existing meters as they wear out. It was estimated that 250 new meters would
be needed in FY94-95. Bids specifications were advertised, and were also mailed to five
vendors. One bid was received. Although the meters are purchased in bulk, the vendor will
"store" the meters, with no less than ten being picked up at a time. Mr Ramey moved,
seconded by Mr Burris, to award a contract to Water Products Inc of Owasso for the bulk

ITEM 9: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST TO APPROVE A CONTRACT FOR THE PURPOSE OF
UPDATING THE CITY'S WATER DISTRIBUTION COMPUTER MODEL,
The City of Owasso water distribution system computer model needs to be updated because of
customers acquired through the buyout of a portion of Rogers County Rural Water District #3,
and the construction of new subdivisions in Owasso. The system was initially computer modeled
in 1988 by Tuttle & Associates under a contract administered by INCOG. Because development
growth and water system demands affect the ability to distribute water, it is necessary to have
current data. INCOG has estimated that approximately 40 man-hours will be required to update
the system, and have proposed an agreement for an amount not to exceed $1, 800.00. Mr Burris
moved, seconded by Mr Ramey, to approve an agreement with INCOG to update the existing
water distribution model in an amount not to exceed $1, 800.00.
