MEMORANDUM

' TO: CHAIRPERSON AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: CITIZEN REQUEST FOR PAYMENT OF CLAIM AGAINST
AUTHORITY
IDATE: September 1, 1993
BACKGROUND:
On August 9, 1993, Mr Brian DeWitt and Ms Cindy DeWitt filed a "Notice of Tort Claim"
against the Owasso Public Works Authority in the amount of $5000. The DeWitts claimed that
on August 5, 1993, their residence sustained damage as a result of a wastewater main line
' stoppage. Submitted with the Notice of Tort Claim were estimates of the cost of repairs to the
residence.
Upon receipt of the Notice of Tort Claim, the staff completed the required paperwork and
"faxed" the documents to claims representatives of Sedgwick James, the City's insurance
administrator through the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group. A claims adjustor
' subsequently reviewed the documentation, visited with the claimant, and made a determination
of the company's position relative to coverage of the incident. On August 12, 1993, the claims
management service for Sedgwick James notified the City that the DeWitt claim had been denied
based on the statutory requirement that requires the municipality to have received prior notice
of a problem with the sewer line or that the damage was the result of negligence on the part of
the City. Subsequently, on August 13, 1993, Mr and Mrs DeWitt were notified that their claim
was denied by the insurance company.
Oklahoma case law has, over the years, held that the City is not an insurer of its wastewater
system. In other words, the City is not "automatically" liable for damages to property as a
result of a wastewater backup. A City is legally liable only if it had PRIOR NOTICE of a
problem in the wastewater line and did not take action to address the problem (within a
reasonable time). Essentially, the courts have determined that cities cannot guarantee the
performance of wastewater lines and should not be liable for damages that result from "first-
, time" backups. Unless the City had prior knowledge of a problem, it cannot be held as
negligent in the matter.
1
MEMORANDUM
Payment of Claim
September 1, 1993
Page 2
Unless there is liability, the insurance coverage maintained by the City /Authority will no pay
for any portion of the damages. Therefore, according to the determination of the claims
management service, the City's insurance company will not pay this claim.
OPTIONS:
However, the fact that the insurance company will not pay the claim does not legally restrict the
Trustees from considering other options. Neither is the claimant restricted from pursuing a
claim through the court system.
The staff has investigated this incident and has concluded that there was a wastewater backup
in a main line that caused wastewater to flow into the residence located at 11913 E 80th St N.
The staff has further concluded that the backup was the result of tree roots penetrating the
wastewater main line "down stream" from that location.
Based on the information available, the Trustees have the following options available:
Option 1 - Take action to deny the claim. Such action would serve to initiate the statutory time
frame (180 days) within which the claimant must seek remedy through the court
system.
Option 2 - Take action to approve the claim. Such action would complete the process and, if
the claimant signed the necessary releases, no further action would be anticipated.
Option 3 - Direct the staff to negotiate a settlement of the claim in an effort to limit exposure
as the result of a possible court action. Such a directive should be accompanied by
a motion to table the agenda item until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
Authority.
COMMENTS:
1. After receiving notice from the insurance company, Mr and Ms DeWitt called the City
Manager to determine what their options were. Subsequently, a meeting was held with the
DeWitts that included Councilor Bowen, Ms Parsons, Ms Boutwell, and the City Manager.
Topic of discussion included legal liability, the options available to the DeWitts, and how
they could appeal the denial to the Trustees.
2. In order to provide the Trustees with all information, a second appraisal of the damage was
commissioned by the staff. The Townsend Claim Service reviewed the claim, visited the
MEMORANDUM
Payment of Claim
September 1, 1993
Page 3
' claimants' residence, and evaluated the damage. The adjustor for the service reported an
actual cash value of loss at $3245.84, whereas the claimants' estimator indicated an actual
cash value of the loss at $3773.08. Additionally, the claimants have requested payment for
' lodging (one night at $100) and payment for Roto- Rooter service ($74.00).
3. It should be noted that many cases of this type occur across Oklahoma on a daily basis. All
' research indicates that there is very little chance that, should the Trustees deny this claim,
the claimants will prevail in a court action. In terms of assigning a value to the potential for
exposure from a court action given the facts of this case, the staff analysis indicates that the
' Trustees decision relating to which option to select should not be influenced by the potential
of exposure from a court ordered settlement or award.
1 4. The staff recognizes that the claimant has suffered property damage as a result of a problem
they did not cause, nor could they have prevented.
' 5. However, the decision made by the Trustees must be reviewed in the context of setting a
potentially expensive president in determining cases such as this one. While the citizen had
' no control over the situation, it must be recognized that neither did the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recognizing all of the issues involved, the staff recommends that the Trustees take action to
' deny the claim of Brian and Cindy DeWitt.

Re: Claim Number: 93000551

Member : City of Owasso
Dear Mr. & Mrs. DeWitt:
We have completed our investigation of the referenced claim.
Based upon the following facts, we have determined that the I
claim should be denied.
Oklahoma law has consistently held that a municipality is not an
insurer of its sanitary sewer system. This means that a '
municipality is not automatically liable for damages to property
which result from a sewage backup. A municipality may be liable
only if it had prior notice of a defect or problem in the sewer
line and failed to take appropriate remedial action within a
reasonable time before the damage occurred.
Our investigation indicates that the source of the problem was
tree roots and that the City had no knowledge of this problem
prior to the sewage backup into your home.
Therefore, we have determined that the City was not negligent in
its maintenance of the sanitary sewer line. Accordingly, while
we regret the damage to your property and the inconvenience and
distress involved in the clean up, we do not believe that state
law authorizes us to pay for your damages on behalf of the City.
Sincerely,
mou'�

OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
' FROM: MICHAEL J. KNEBEL
JO ELLEN KRANTZ
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PURCHASE OF CLEAR PLASTIC YARDWASTE BAGS
IDATE: August 31, 1993
IBACKGROUND
' The Owasso continuing mandatory yardwaste separation program was conceived during the
summer of 1989 and began as a pilot project in April of 1990. The following are several
factors originally used to determine its feasibility and method of implementation.
' a. During the summer of 1989, approximately 25% of Owasso's residential waste stream
consisted of yardwaste.
' b. Lawn clippings do not compact as well as many other forms of refuse and therefore
consume more space at the landfill and in the packer trucks hauling the material.
C. Information compiled during the growing season of 1989 revealed that approximately
PP Y
22% of Owasso's 3,506 residential refuse customers mixed yardwaste with their
' household refuse. The remaining 78% of the residents either did not dispose of their
yard waste or did not use the city as a disposal service for that material.
' The volume of material was obviously significant enough to demand action (currently 600 to
800 tons annually) and the number of citizens disposing of yardwaste was relatively small.
Therefore the staff designed and presented a yardwaste separation program that was based on
a "user pay" system which would impact only the 22% of the population using the refuse
system for yardwaste disposal and help maintain stable rates for the 78% that did not. The
method used to accomplish this was to incorporate the curbside pick -up cost into the selling
price of each "City of Owasso Yardwaste Bag ".
F, During the first two years of Owasso's mandatory yardwaste separation program, the city
utilized 33 gallon "bio- degradable" plastic bags as a means of collecting lawn clippings from
its refuse customers. Several varieties of bags were tried and none performed as specified in
their initial strength and /or their rate of decomposition. In the spring of 1992 the city began
selling a "regular" plastic yardwaste bag to its customers. Each of these bags holds 33
gallons, is made of a clear linear low density polyethylene and has CITY OF OWASSO -
YARDWASTE ONLY imprinted on it. The use of a clear bag prompts the customers to
utilize the bag exclusively for yardwaste disposal (any foreign materials would be visible
from the outside) and the external lettering assures that the city has collected the curbside
pick -up fee. Currently, the charge for each bag is $0.35. Please note that a $0.15 refund
coupon (the curbside pick -up fee) is still issued for each bag taken directly to the recycle
center.
Also in 1992, several red polycarts were issued to volunteer citizens as an alternate to the
yardwaste only bags. This pilot program proved successful and subsequently other citizens
requested that the carts be offered to them. Last spring, the red yardwaste polycarts were
offered as an alternative for all of Owasso's residential refuse customers. Citizens using the
carts are billed $6.50 per month which is collected through the standard monthly billing
system.
PROGRAM STATISTICS
Although the red yardwaste polycart program is considered an overall success, many citizen
customers still prefer using the yardwaste bags. The ratio has consistently been two
customers utilizing the yardwaste bags to one customer with a red polycart. Information
supplied by the yardwaste pick -up crew indicates that the customers who have chosen to
continue using the bags generally have either very small (1 bag) or very large quantities
(over 9 bags) of lawn clippings. It would appear these users of the service recognize that
their monthly cost would be higher if they selected the polycart(s).
Owasso's mandatory yardwaste separation program collected over 712 tons of yardwaste last
year and has already collected approximately 600 tons this year. The maximum participation
in any given week this year was approximately 11 % of Owasso's residential refuse customer
base. During that week, program participants averaged 3 bags of yard waste each for a total
of over 41 tons. Projections indicate Owasso citizens will use approximately 15,000 city
yardwaste bags during 1993.
REQUEST TO REPLENISH YARDWASTE BAG SUPPLY
The supply of yardwaste collection bags is currently getting low and it is questionable
whether the City can maintain a supply through the end of the program in November. This t
possibility was anticipated and therefore specifications for the product were produced late last
spring and sent to qualified vendors. Sealed bids were received from three vendors and were
opened by the acting City Clerk on June 3, 1993. The bids are as follows: '
2
20,000 bags
40,000 bags
60,000 bags
Williams Refuse
$3,600
$7,150
$10,650
Eve Inc.
$1,800
$3,200
$49800
Earl Beard
$4,025
$8,050
$16,000
2
' As you can see from the tabulation, Eve Inc.'s bid is much lower than the others. This was
of some concern initially, but after evaluation of several samples, recently supplied by the
company, it would appear the concerns were unwarranted.
' Eve has bid an 11 % price break for purchase in a quantity greater than 20,000. Because of
the (1) indirect costs involved in "warehousing" supplies such as this and (2) the uncertainty
in the quantity of requested red yardwaste polycarts for next year, we are recommending the
purchase of 20,000 bags. The funding for this purchase is included in the 1993 -94 Refuse
Department budget (line item 5222).
RECOMMENDATION
' We recommend Trustee approval of the purchase of 20,000 bags from Eve Inc Tulsa OK
in the amount of $1,800, as per specifications contained in the bid documents.

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE A WATER LINE TAPPER
WATER DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
DATE: August 31, 1993
rr
BACKGROUND
In the late 1960's the Owasso Public Works Authority purchased a Mueller brand "tapper"
that is still in use in the water division. As this piece of equipment (used to tap into various
water lines) has aged, its efficiency has diminished and replacement parts have become
' obsolete. As a result, problems have been encountered with maintenance as the water
division seeks to keep it in proper and safe working order.
Due to the age and condition of the current tapper, and the demand and variety of tasks
required as the City of Owasso expands and develops, a new tapper is needed. A new tapper
will improve the speed of the tapping process, will increase the ease of operation and will
' enhance the safety factor on a tapping job. To be effective, a tapper must have the
accessories that provide it with the capability to tap into lines that vary in size from 3/4" to
1" and 2 ".
' Two vendors provided us with uotes on water line tappers q ppe s and the necessary accessories:
' *Water Systems (Collinsville) quote: $1550
Romac Tap -Mate II
with 3/4 ", 1" and 2" accessories
*Water Products of Oklahoma quote: $1200
Romac Tap -Mate II
with 3/4 ", 1" and 2" accessories
Water Products of Oklahoma quote: $1780.99
Mueller Tapper
with 3/4 ", 1" and 2" accessories
■
■
TAPPER
PAGE TWO
AUGUST 31, 1993
Although the current tapper the water division is using is a Mueller Brand, the staff is of the
opinion that the Romac tapper is most appropriate to the needs of the division. The Romac
equipment is less complex, with fewer separate parts to use, maintain and /or replace.
All tappers come with a one -year warranty against manufacturing defects.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Trustee approval of the expenditure of $1200 payable to Water Products of
Oklahoma for the purchase of one Romac Tap -Mate II with 3/4 ", 1" and 2" accessories.

CHANGE ORDER #1 TO McGUIRE BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION, INC
CONTRACT FOR MAX BUCHANAN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT
1
DATE:
September 2, 1993
IBACKGROUND:
On August 3rd 1993, the City Council approved a contract with McGuire Brothers Construction,
Y Inc. for the amount of $177,612.20 to construct water and wastewater main lines and extend
streets into the City's municipal /industrial park area (Max Buchanan Project).
' A part of the project is a 600 feet southerly extension of Main Street before it turns east and
becomes 5th Avenue. The new street will cross over our existing 12" transite water
Itransmission line for a distance of approximately 300 feet. During the design phase of the project
this crossing was evaluated by the design engineer and staff. After reviewing the soils reports,
it appeared that the soil and bedding around the line would not have to be disturbed and since
' additional fill /cover would be needed to elevate the road there would be in excess of 8 feet of
cover over this existing line. It was believed that this depth of cover and the fact that the line
would not have to be disturbed would adequately serve to protect the line.
During construction the contractor discovered that the soils in a large portion of the area in
' question were saturated (most likely caused by this area being flooded in early spring). This
saturation caused the soil to "pump" making it impossible for them to prepare a proper sub -base
without excavating down to and around the existing water line. Construction was stopped
because of the danger to the line.
It was determined that since it was now going to be necessary to disturb the soil around the
existing transite pipe, its long term integrity could no longer be insured. Various alternative
solutions were analyzed (rerouting, reinforcing, replacing etc.) and replacement with ductile iron
pipe emerged as being the most efficient and cost effective solution. Negations were conducted
with the contractor and a price of $7,895 was resolved as a reasonable cost for the replacement
of the existing 12" transite pipe with 12" ductile iron pipe (see attached Change Order #1). '
The staff would propose that funding for this change order come from the OPWA reserve funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Trustee approval of the requested Change Order #1 for the amount of
$7,895 to replace 320 feet of 12" transite (asbestos) water line.
