ITEM 5: CONSIDER AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE AWARD OF A
BID FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE IIA IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
Mr Carr said that the existing wastewater treatment facility was constructed in 1986. Phase I
improvements to meet changes in water quality criteria were completed in 1998. Phase IIA will
consist of construction of sludge dewatering facilities, sludge digestion, and modifications to the
influent structure, untraviolet disinfection system and main lift station. Bids were received on
February 14, 2000 from six bidders, with the apparent low bidder being Crossland Heavy
Contractors, Columbus, KS in the amount of $1,965,950. The low bid is $544.050 below the
engineer's estimate and $14,050 below the next lowest bid. Funds will be received through the
State Revolving Fund loan program for this project, and must be approved by the Oklahoma
Water Resources Board. Final award of the construction contract cannot be made until such time
as the loan is closed by the OWRB. Pending transfer of needed documents from the contractor,
engineer, and city staff, it is anticipated that the loan will be closed sometime in March. Dr Bode
moved, seconded by Ms Barnhouse, to award a contract for Wastewater Treatment Plant
Improvements Phase IIA to Crossland Heavy Contractors Inc, Columbus, KS in the amount of
$1,965,950, and authorization for the Chair to execute the contract, contingent upon final
authorization from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
