[0:21] Part.
[0:21] Here.
[0:22] Wimpy.
[0:23] Here. Are there any items to be removed from the consent agenda?
[0:28] I'll make motion.
[0:29] I approve the consent agenda as a state.
[0:31] Second.
[0:34] I
[0:42] am five as public hearings, appeals, presentations, recognitions and awards there are
[0:46] nine.
[0:47] I am six as General Authority Business, six A, consideration, discussion, and possible approval
[0:52] of an award for the lowest responsible bid to cross one heavy contractors, Emily Rowan.
[1:02] Good evening, Madam Chair, Vice Chair, Trustees, General Manager.
[1:07] I am Emily Rowland.
[1:08] I am more environmental division manager and I am excited to bring you this item to
[1:13] tonight for requesting award the lowest responsible bid to cross them heavy in asking for
[1:20] authorization to execute the construction contract with them. So this is for our Armue way,
[1:26] HIKI KRIKOI Squadron Treatment Plant Biosolids Project, which we've given a lot of presentations
[1:31] and updates on over the years. I think it's been at least five or six years. And so we are very excited
[1:37] to finally get this going into construction.
[1:41] And so I will have a long construction time on it.
[1:45] Lots of works to do on it, but it'll finally
[1:46] let our plant that we share with Tulsa.
[1:49] Stand independently, because we currently
[1:50] have to take this lead just to one of Tulsa's plants.
[1:54] And so we're excited for this.
[1:55] So I am happy to answer any questions you guys have.
[1:58] Is this our funding all of this?
[2:01] Or is it Liam with Tulsa?
[2:02] Yes, so the total bid is the 48,199,000 and we're splitting that 5050 with Tulsa.
[2:15] We do have that USDA grant, which is for 9.6 million, which is also shared between us and Tulsa.
[2:22] So 9.6 takes it down to the 38,599,000,000 in that split, 50,50.
[2:29] So the 19,299,500 is our hand.
[2:37] That's one of no few of all those numbers.
[2:40] I know, I was having to read off of it.
[2:43] Lots of numbers.
[2:44] So Emily, I mean, you live and breathe this literally.
[2:47] And so you know how our council's been working on this
[2:49] and improving a long-range plan.
[2:51] You feel good about this number that we're getting a good price
[2:54] for the work that's being expected.
[2:55] Yes, I feel like we got really good bits on this.
[2:58] We were a little bit nervous just because it is such a big project.
[3:02] And with the USDA grant brought in some of the federal requirements
[3:06] that we had to do with the by America, build America's stuff.
[3:12] And yeah, we were really pleased with the number that we got
[3:14] and we think cross them, we'll do a great job with it.
[3:16] Okay, what's the time for it?
[3:19] It's 730 days for construction.
[3:22] And we, I heard the grant have to be online, I think, within three years to start producing fertilizer.
[3:32] And so we should be, well, ahead of that, put in some extra time to stay in case the first price six months to a year ago.
[3:38] We'll just be a lot of approving submitals and ordering the equipment and all of that.
[3:44] But, yeah, we think this should be adequate in a couple of years timeline.
[3:56] I'm making motion, we approve the contract.
[3:58] Thank you.
[3:59] Thank you, Emily.
[4:00] I'll second that motion.
[4:02] Roll call.
[4:10] Intertain a motion to go into art to adjourn.
[4:18] Come up.
[4:19] I'll make a motion.
[4:20] Oh, sorry.
[4:21] Are there any remarks?
[4:23] I'm a city manager.
[4:25] Let's get right past that.
[4:26] I do want to mention, I just obviously it was an extremely hot month of August.
[4:31] And set the first couple of months in September look extremely difficult as well, just with the heat.
[4:37] And I just want to give you an update on the operations of the water plant.
[4:41] I do believe we got close to right at 26 million gallons for a short period of time in August.
[4:48] We're running a little over 20 million gallons.
[4:50] And I know Tim Roberts and his team are closely monitoring.
[4:54] Not only just what we're producing, but also our pressure and then making sure that we're in good shape.
[4:59] You
[5:00] We're also keeping eye as should there be any burn bands or anything along those lines as right now there's not any so we're closely looking over those if should there be a need for us to provide that information but I just want to send a shout out because obviously this is a very difficult time when you're actually with this hot trying to produce the water we need for our community and businesses so I just want to say thank you to Tim and everyone that's helping him.
[5:26] So I'm going to add real quick.
[5:28] We were looking for a way to recognize our first female mayor,
[5:33] if you need to own me.
[5:34] I'm going to share a story real quick.
[5:36] She only served one term, but maybe it's the water plant.
[5:40] Maybe we should name the water plant after her.
[5:43] So back in 1931, people weren't paying their water bill.
[5:46] So she told everyone, she took an ad out in the paper and said,
[5:50] I see you drive in fancy cars and having fancy parties,
[5:54] But you are not paying your water bill, so I'm going to cut your water off. And
[5:59] She did not get re-elected
[6:03] Yes, they did and she only served one turn. So, but that may be a great thing to put her name on
[6:10] The water plan.
[6:12] You know, I just need two of your friends to fill in the agenda
[6:17] We're pretty about that
[6:22] So sorry, I just popped in my head and I had to share it, so yeah, okay, sorry.
[6:27] All right, entertain a motion to adjourn.
[6:30] So moved.
[6:31] Second.
[6:35] Pickle.
[6:36] Green.
[6:37] Yes.
[6:38] Four.
[6:38] Yes.
[6:39] Parts.
[6:40] Winpy.
[6:41] Yes.
[6:41] entertain a motion to go into executive or economic development authority.
[6:44] We're not done yet, guys.
[6:47] So we're going there.
[6:48] that. What do you say?
