Public Works Director
SUBJECT: OPWA Proposed Resolution
Authorizing OWRB Loan Application
DATE: September 17, 2010
BACKGROUND:
In 2005, the City of Owasso commissioned an update of its 1997 Wastewater Master Plan, The
updated plan provides a 20 -year guide for the prioritization and construction of upgrades to the
City's conveyance and wastewater treatment infrastructure. Among the current needs
identified, the plan recommends the investment of approximately $2.2 million for the upgrade of
the Santa Fe Pump Station. On February 16, 2010, OPWA Trustees approved an engineering
services agreement with Greeley and Hansen LLC for design of the Pump Station improvements.
Funding for this project is expected to be provided by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board
(OWRB). The OWRB provides low interest long -term financing for water and wastewater projects.
For the past seventeen years, all of Owasso's water and wastewater projects have been
financed by the OWRB.
The proposed resolution authorizes the application to the OWRB for financial assistance through
the OWRB State Revolving Fund for the purpose of financing wastewater system improvements.
Additionally, the resolution authorizes payment of a loan application fee to the OWRB and
authorizes Wells, Nelson & Associates (Keith McDonald) to act on behalf of the OPWA.
If the application for funding is approved by the OWRB, authorization for the loan would require
additional action by the OPWA Trustees and the City Council at a future meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee approval of OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -06, agreeing to file application
with the OWRB for financial assistance through the OWRB State Revolving Fund Program, for the
purpose of financing wastewater system improvements at the Santa Fe Pump Station, and
containing other provisions related thereto.
