ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST FOR TRUSTEE APPROVAL OF AN ENGINEERING SERVICE
AGREEMENT FOR THE NORTH OWASSO WASTEWATER COLLECTION
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr Carr said that the 1997 Wastewater Master Plan adopted on January 6, 1998 by Resolution
#98-01, indicated the need for improvements in the wastewater collection system in the vicinity
of the existing 106th St lift station. Large volume overflows have occurred near that lift station
during the past weeks of extensive wet weather. Engineering will be required to determine the
corrective actions needed. Qualification statements were requested from engineering firms, with
seven firms responding. Each submittal was evaluated and ranked by a review committee, with
HUB+Garver being selected as the top ranked firm for fee negotiations. An agreement was
drafted and reviewed by the city attorney. The project design is scheduled to be completed in
July 1998, with construction to begin in early Fall 1998. Mr Wilken moved, seconded by Dr
Bode, to approve an agreement with HUB+Garver, Tulsa, OK, in the amount of $65,000 for
engineering services related to improvements of the North Owasso Wastewater Collection
System.

.•. ,. SYSTEM REFERRED
. . ,: TO
AS THE "ELM
CREEK INTERCEPTOR. "
The rapid development of the area east of 129th East Ave between 76th St N and 96th St N has
created a need to construct a major wastewater collector line to gravity flow to the 117th St lift
station. Mr Ray said that the city has an opportunity for a public sector/private sector
partnership in this area. Because it is not an economically feasible project for any one developer
to undertake, the city could finance the project, then require developers to tie into the system
and payback the city their proportional share of the cost of the design, construction and financing
of the project. Mr Wilken moved, seconded by Dr Standridge, to authorize the City Manager
to develop a plan for presentation to the OPWA that relates to the use of a payback concept in
the design, construction and funding of the Elm Creek Interceptor project.
