ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO
RESOLUTION #98-01 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 1997
WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN AS A POLICY STATEMENT OF THE
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY.
Mr Carr said that since December 1995, FHC Inc has been working to develop a wastewater
master plan for the City. The purpose of the plan is to provide a long-term strategy for
developing the wastewater collection and treatment system to meet projected growth demands.
A draft plan was submitted to the staff for review in February 1997. Following revisions, the
final plan was submitted in September 1997. The 1997 Wastewater Master Plan is intended to
serve as a policy statement for the development, expansion and extension of privately -financed
and publicly -financed improvements to the municipal wastewater collection and treatment
system. OPWA Resolution #98-01 adopts the 1997 Wastewater Master Plan as a statement of
the Authority's policy for such improvements. Mr Helm moved, seconded by Dr Bode, to
approve Resolution #98-01.
AYE: Helm, Bode, Wilk -en, Barnhouse
NAY, None
Motion carried 4-0.
ORDER #2, A CHANGE ORDER TO A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY AND WALTERS MORGAN
CONSTRUCTION CO FOR THE CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS O
THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY.
A contract for the construction of the wastewater treatment plant improvements with Walters -
Morgan Construction Inc for a total of 395 calendar days does not include provisions for weather
delays. Mr Carr said that results of a meeting with company representatives and the city
attorney determined that a certain number of work days could be expected to be lost each month
because of adverse weather conditions. Change Order #2 increases the contract time by 25
calendar days. The addition of this time does not have any immediate associated costs, but costs
will be incurred by the resident project representative and engineering services after the initial
395 days. The engineering services contract contains the preparation of an Operations and
Maintenance Manual at a fee of $31,500. It is proposed that this manual be deleted from the
project until the next phase of improvements is completed. Sufficient funds would glen be
available for the additional time without an increase in the contract amount with the engineering
firm. Dr Bode moved, seconded by Mr Helm, to approve Change Order #2 to a contract with
Walters -Morgan Construction Inc, increasing the contract time by 25 days, for the construction
of improvements to the wastewater treatment facility.
