FROM: Roger Stevens, Senior Director of Operations
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-03, establishing the Coffee Creek Lift Station and Force Main
Improvement Assessment Fee
DATE: September 26, 2024
BACKGROUND:
Section 17-301 of the Code of Ordinances allows for costs associated with the construction of
designated sewer improvements, including costs for land, construction, professional fees, etc. to
be recouped through a per acre assessment fee.
This project was identified as a designated sewer improvement and the assessment area was
created by Ordinance 1124, adopted February 6, 2018. The area basin contains a total of 750
acres: 412 acres were developed before the creation of the assessment area; 75.6 acres have
developed since the creation of the assessment area; 262.4 acres remain undeveloped in the
assessment area.
TIMELINE AND COSTS:
• In August 2002, a local developer funded and constructed the original Coffee Creek Lift
Station and Force Main with a design capacity of 1 million gallons per day. In 2016, the
Wastewater Master Plan identified the lift pumps, wet well, generator, and force main
would need to be replaced within 5-10 years due to condition and anticipated capacity
increase for an additional 1 million gallons per day.
• In December 2017, Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA) approved an engineering
services agreement with Kellogg Engineering, of Talala, Oklahoma, for $260,625.00.
• In May 2018, easement and land obtainment were completed for $218,093.72.
• In April 2021, OPWA approved a construction contract with MSB Construction, LLC of
Oologah, Oklahoma, for construction of the sewer improvements. The project was
completed and accepted by the OPWA in April 2023, for a total contract amount of
$5,021,070.23.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR ASSESSMENT FEE:
Staff is proposing to recoup the cost associated with increasing the capacity rather than recouping
the entire construction cost of the project. By doing so, the total project cost would be reduced by
507o to $2,749,894.48, and the proposed per acre fee is calculated to be $10,479.78 per acre.
Payment of this assessment fee would be mandatory and assessment fees would be due upon the
approval of a final plat or utilization of the capacity.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2024-03, establishing the Coffee Creek Lift Station and
Force Main Sanitary Sewer Assessment Fee at $10,479.78 per acre.
