HARDIN OEDA COORDINATOR SUBJECT: ENGINEERING CONTRACTS DATE: February 2, 1996 BACKGROUND The next step in developing the Betty Smith Business Park is to complete engineering and design for the infrastructure improvements to the site. There are five separate items to be contracted and completed before the final plat and site plan can be approved. First, the preliminary engineering must be performed. This involves surveying the property, pinning the boundaries, making a preliminary layout of improvements needed to plat the property, and make preliminary cost estimates. This has already been preformed by Tuttle and Associates with the understanding that they would receive no compensation for the services if the project is not funded, or if the OEDA board does not hire them. These services, plus the drainage study, are necessary for the preliminary plat, which we would like to file on or before February 14. Mr. Tuttle has submitted a contingent invoice for $ 3000 for preliminary engineering. Final engineering for stormwater drainage, sanitary sewer, water, access road and entrance is also required for development of the property. This includes the necessary drainage study for the preliminary plat. Our proposal includes all studies, tests, engineering drawings and daily inspection for a " turn key " job on engineering. Mr. Tuttle would also assist in obtaining all necessary approvals from state and local authorities. He also would review contractors invoices and advise us on whether to approve payment. Mr. Cates is preparing contracts based upon scope of services submitted by Mr. Tuttle. The final agreement will be for multiple contracts, totalling no more than $ 15,000. Since no single contract exceeds $ 7500, Mr. Cates advises that public bidding is not required under the open bidding act. The next deadline for fling a preliminary plat with the Owasso Planning Commission is February 14, for the March 12 meeting. In order to meet this deadline, we need the drainage study. The final plat approval, under this timetable would occur in April. Final engineering design must be completed before the final plat approval is granted. Each deadline for the planning commission is the Wednesday after the Tuesday meeting, so that if we do not file the preliminary plat by February 14, the next deadline is March 13, for the April 9 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Because of Mr. Tuttle's familiarity with the project, the reasonableness of his price and the groundwork he has already performed, staff would recommend that Tuttle and Associates be contracted to perform the engineering on this project. Page 1 of 2 SCOPE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES OEDA - ONG SITE CONTRACT 1 PHASE I The engineer will prepare a legal description, pin the boundary, prepare a plat of survey and show all easements from a title opinion furnished by an attorney, make a preliminary layout of the improvements needed to plat and develop the site and prepare cost estimates of all improvements and advise the owner of any difficulties or easements required. PHASE 2 The engineer will prepare a dedication plat, restrictive covenants, and necessary preliminary drawings or studies and submit all to the City of Owasso to obtain preliminary and final plat approval from the City of Owasso. The engineer will assist the owner in filing the plat at the court house. All fees associated with submitting or filing the plat will be paid by the owner. All fees required for obtaining Health Department approval will be paid by the owner. CONTRACT 2 PHASE 1 The engineer will prepare final engineering drawings and obtain approvals from all appropriate Local and State authorities. The engineer will solicit bids from contractors and provide the owner with a recommendation of which contractor to hire. The engineer will prepare and write all necessary easements that need to be obtained. The owner will will obtain signatures on any easements. PHASE 2 The engineer provide one time construction staking of all utilities and roads. Restaking will be done at an hourly charge to the owner. The City will provide onsite resident inspection. The engineer will make daily visits to the site during construction to ensure that the intent of the plans is being followed. The engineer will review and approve all pay requests for contractors. The engineer will prepare record drawings after completion of all work and provide them to the City. The engineer will provide all services normally required to develop a site including platting, surveying design of water sewer storm sewer and paving to allow OEDA to convey title to a developed tract. Page 2 Engineering of the end users building, parking lot and utilities is not included. MEMORANDUM TO: OEDA BOARD MEMBERS FROM: LONNIE R. HARDIN OEDA COORDINATOR SUBJECT: COORDINATORS REPORT DATE: February 5, 1996 BACKGROUND January has been a busy month for OEDA. This summary of project activity is intended to assist OEDA members in tracking the various ongoing projects. BETTY SMITH BUSINESS PARK OEDA accepted the donation of 13.7 acres of land from Hayward and Betty Smith on December 27, 1995, and contracted to purchase an additional 2.0 acres for $ 25,000. The purchase is contingent upon funding of the industrial access road by the Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation, funding of the project by the end -user, and completion of engineering for infrastructure. There is a spurious claim to a one forth mineral interest in the land, which has been referred to OEDA attorney Ron Cates for appropriate action. Mr. Cates sent a demand letter on January 30, 1996 to the purported mineral interest holder. On January 24, 1996 there was a meeting in City Hall between representatives of OEDA, RCB and ONG. A pre loan commitment agreement was discussed, which Mr. Cates is preparing. The Transportation Committee meets in Oklahoma City on February 5, 1996. The agenda includes the access road for this project. We are informed that all indications are for approval. The next deadline for filing a preliminary subdivision plat for the Owasso planning commission is February 14. This filing requires a plat, survey, legal description, drainage study, and restrictive covenants. If the February 14 deadline is not met, the next filing deadline is March 13. With the exception of the drainage study, filing documentation is substantially complete, and we believe that the February deadline can be met. ALZHEIMER CARE FACILITY The Bailey trust has agreed to donate 10 acres to OEDA for the alzheimer care facility and another project. Upon the request of Mr. Conard, a copy of the letter of intent to donate, as well as a zoning letter were forwarded to Mr. Conard. He is attempting to obtain HUD financing for the project. PRECISION COMPONENTS Preliminary work has begun for the 3500 square foot addition. We have met with representatives of INCOG and precision twice to finish up necessary documentation for release of funds under the CDBG grant for the parking lot. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS OEDA has received a $ 2000.00 grant from Wal Mart for economic development. A possible application for the funds is for a color scanner for use with the OEDA computer. We have discovered a new model of scanner which will be compatible with future expansion of the City computer network. It is anticipated that the board will be requested to consider action on a request for this equipment in a future meeting. Warehouse Market has signed a letter of intent to purchase the former Food Lion building on 86th. A sign has been placed in front of the building announcing it as the future home of the " warehouse supermarket ". The OEDA proposal to a national freight handling company for a 80 to 100 door freight dock has been forwarded to the home office. We anticipate further contact in 60 to 90 days. We are in preliminary but promising negotiations with a Tulsa manufacturing company for relocation to Owasso. The company is finalizing some details on corporate restructuring, and will begin serious planning later this quarter. OEDA has received notice that the aerospace prospect to which we gave a preliminary proposal has chosen Ft. Worth for its relocation. The Ft Worth package included free rent for one year, tax abatement, training, a grant for equipment purchase, and an agreement to buy the old facility if not purchased. If you have questions concerning any of these projects, please contact Mr. Kimball at 272-1146.

Dear Miss Durrett: Please be advised that I represent the Owasso Economic Development Authority, an Oklahoma Public Trust created and operated in accordance with the provisions of Title 60 O.S. § 176 et seq., having the City of Owasso, Oklahoma, as its beneficiary. In such capacity, there has been referred to me for resolution the matter of an apparent cloud upon my client's title in and to the above referred to real estate arising by virtue of Affidavit filed by yourself on the 17th day of November, 1995, recorded in Book 5761 Page 2427 wherein you assert an undivided 1/4 mineral interest in and to all of the North Half of Section 20, Township 21 North, Range 14 East, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as well as the subsequent Deed of Mineral Rights to Trust dated the 17th day of November, 1995, recorded in Book 5761 Pages 2423 - 2424 of the records of the County Clerk of Tulsa County, wherein you purport to convey to the Sammie Durrett Revocable Trust your asserted undivided 1/4 title and interest in and to the oil, gas and other minerals in the 1`1orth Half of Section 20, Township 21 Nartli, Range 14 East, Tulsa County, Oklahoma. Miss Sammie Durrett January 30, 1996 Page Two (2) In regards to the foregoing, it is my clients position that neither you nor the Sammie Durrett Revocable Trust possess an undivided 1/4 interest in and to the oil, gas and minerals in the North Half of Section 20, Township 21 North, Range 14 East, and accordingly the Affidavit as well as Deed of Mineral Interest to Trust filed by you slanders the title possessed by my client in and to the real estate described above arising by virtue of conveyance dated the 27th day of December, 1995, and recorded in Book 5771 Page 0441 of the records of the County Clerk of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma. This conclusion is supported by observation of the following matters of public record, to -wit: 1.
