Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust, via video conference, for August 4, 2020.
A
A
A
A
A
C
We
developed
a
proposal
and
have
been
negotiating
with
the
air
force
since
then,
and
we
hired
guernsey
to
help
us
with
that
proposal
and
negotiation.
They
have
extensive
experience
in
government
contracts
and
today
we
have
jared
stiggy
with
guernsey
who's,
going
to
give
you
a
bit
more
information.
So
jared
are
you:
are
you
on.
D
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
everyone
for
your
time
today.
Chris
is
right.
I've.
You
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
experience
in
this.
In
fact,
I
was
hired
by
guernsey
july
26th
of
1999,
and
basically
all
I've
worked
on
during
my
time.
Here
has
been
these
department
of
defense
utility
privatization
transactions
where
they
sell
their
utility
systems
off
to
people
who
are
more
capable
and
better
qualified
and
often
times
to
provide
those
services.
D
D
D
Another
upside
for
this
is
by
bringing
that
130
million
dollars
worth
of
you
know.
Water
and
wastewater
infrastructure
work
to
tinker
it'll
mean
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
for
contractors
and
design
firms
to
get
that
stuff
done,
and
some
of
that
may
come
from
out
of
state.
But
you
know
you
all
know
from
your
experience
that
a
lot
of
that
work
is
probably
going
to
be
performed
by
people
who
live
in
oklahoma
city
or
some
of
our
surrounding
municipalities
and
will
be
a
big
economic
boost
to
our
local
economy.
D
And
then,
lastly,
and-
and
you
know
equally
importantly,
is
that
we
are
going
to
segregate
the
cost
for
serving
tinker
and
make
sure
that
there
is
no
cross-subsidization
that
takes
place.
So,
in
other
words,
you
know
the
the
books,
for
you
know,
capital
improvements,
operations
and
maintenance,
hiring
specialized
firms
to
do
things
like
leak,
testing
or
pipe
testing.
D
All
those
costs
will
be
held
in
a
segregated
account
and
at
the
end
of
the
year,
those
costs
are
bundled
up
and
charged
to
tinker
such
that
none
of
the
other
rate
payers
from
outside
the
gate
will
be
expected
to
pay
a
single
penny
of
what
it
costs
us
to
serve.
The
air
force
base
the
timeline.
I
won't
go
into
this
in
detail
because
it's
it's
quite
lengthy,
but
you
can
see
that
in
2013
the
rfp
was
given
to
this.
D
So
right
now,
we
are
here
in
in
2020
as
we're.
We
believe
we've
got
all
the
final
terms
negotiated
and
we're
just
you
know,
looking
forward
to
the
final
documentation
and
being
able
to
review
it,
but
certainly
needing
the
approval
of
both
city
council
and
trust,
to
actually
execute
a
contract
and
begin
to
move
forward.
D
So
for
the
cost
of
service
rates,
that's
there
were
two
pricing
methodologies
that
we
were
allowed
to
offer
under
the
trust
selected
cost
of
service,
because
we
feel
it's
the
most
risk
averse
for
both
tinker
and
for
the
trust,
slash
city
of
oklahoma
city.
Essentially,
what
it
means
is
that
we
are
going
to
segregate
the
costs
for
serving
tinker.
D
We
will
communicate
with
them
on
a
regular
basis.
How
much
we
expect
capital
improvement
projects
to
cost
how
much
we
expect
the
delivery
of
o
m
services
to
cost
and
reach
agreement
with
the
air
force
on
those
costs
and
then
go
forth
and
execute
the
work
at
the
end
of
each
year
or
at
the
end
of
whatever
period
the
trust
deems
is
appropriate.
D
Now,
in
addition
to
these
monthly
utility
rates
that
will
be
charged
to
tinker,
the
draft
provisions
of
the
contract
have
several
other
mechanisms
that
would
allow
the
trust
to
recover
costs
of
service
outside
of
a
tariff.
So,
for
example,
if
we
encounter
differing
site
conditions
in
the
middle
of
a
construction
project,
you
know
we.
We
were
told
that,
for
example,
we're
going
through
an
area
that's
supposed
to
be
green
field
and
as
we
excavate,
we
find
some
old
abandoned
lines
and
we
need
to
stop
and
we
need
to
perform
an
investigation.
D
You
know,
there's,
there's
delay
cost
there.
There's
extra
excavation
costs
there,
that's
a
differing
site
condition.
We
can
document
those
additional
costs,
submit
them
to
the
contracting
officer,
and
he
or
she
has
the
authority
to
essentially
write
us
a
check,
a
one-time
check
to
make
us
whole
for
that,
such
that
we
don't
then
have
to
later
incorporate
that
into
raids.
D
That
same
process
is
also
available.
If
they
have
new
service
requirements,
which
could
mean
either
a
new
facility,
they
want
us
to
connect
to
or
a
new
use
within
an
existing
facility
that
would
require,
for
example,
a
larger,
a
larger
main
or
something
like
that.
That
would
require
a
new
service
connection,
we're
also
entitled
to
equitable
adjustments.
D
Equitable
adjustments
are,
for
example,
in
the
rfp.
They
told
us.
There
was
no
lead-based
paint
on
any
of
the
infrastructure
they
proposed
to
convey
to
us
if
one
of
the
well
houses
they
give
us
we
perform.
You
know
in
our
due
diligence
testing
on
the
paint
before
we
begin
to
work
on
it
and
we
find
lead-based
paint.
That
would
be
something
that
we
could
submit
for
an
equitable
adjustment.
D
Same
thing
goes
for
environmental
liabilities
and
same
thing
goes
for
changes
in
law
regulation.
So
all
that,
which
is
to
say
that,
in
addition
to
recovering
the
cost
of
service
through
these
regular
monthly
rates,
there
are
multiple
opportunities
through
the
language
of
the
contract
that
we
can
go
to
the
federal
government
and
assuming
we
have
a
justified
and
documented
case.
The
contracting
officer
has
the
authority
to
make
those
payments
to
us
outside
of
the
regular
utility
rate
process.
D
D
We
have
a
12
month,
transition
that
we'll
go
through
and
that
12
months
was
something
we
proposed
prior
to
the
emergence
of
cobin
19.
So
it
could
turn
into
something
that's
greater
than
12
months.
We've
visited
with
the
government,
the
federal
government
about
that,
and
they
understand
and
agree
that
we
may
need
to
extend
that
period.
D
But
the
purpose
of
the
transition
period
is
essentially
for
the
city
and
its
contractors
to
be
able
to
go
on
site
and
become
familiar
with
the
utilities
that
are
out
there
to
develop
a
lot
of
plans
that
we
need
in
order
to
safely
own
operate,
maintain
the
infrastructure
to
perform
some
investigations.
That
will
help
inform
how
we
go
about
beginning
to
renew
and
replace
that
infrastructure
and
looking
at
things
such
as
eliminating
some
of
the
53
lift
stations
that
they
have
out.
There.
D
D
The
bar
chart
off
to
the
right
is
represents
the
capital
expenditures
that
we
have
projected
for
each
of
the
contract
years.
You
can
see
that
in
years,
one
through
20.
there's
a
pretty
significant
capital
expenditure
plan
and
that's
primarily
related
to
what
I
said
at
the
outside.
Of
my
outside.
Of
my
talk,
which
is
that
the
water
system
is
90
percent
depreciated,
the
wastewater
system
is
70
depreciated.
D
We
are
moving.
You
know
pretty
aggressively
to
address
those
lines
that
have
exceeded
their
service
life
and
get
those
replaced
so
that
the
overall
mission
of
the
installation
can
be
sustained
once
we
get
to
year
21
that
major
capital
expenditure
program
has
essentially
been
concluded
and
for
the
remaining
30
years
of
the
contract,
you're
looking
at
pretty
much
replacing
things
that
that
fail
or
that
have
a
relatively
shorter
life
like
a
meter,
would
have
a
shorter
life
things
of
that
nature.
D
And
I
believe
that
is
essentially
what
I
had
to
present
to
you
today.
Overall,
I
feel
like
this
is
an
excellent
opportunity
for
the
city
of
oklahoma
city
to
really
step
up
and
assist
tinker
with
what
is
really
a
a
challenge
for
them
right
now.
They
are
gaining
mission,
it
seems
like
every
year
and
their
water
system
was
already
antiquated
and
outdated,
and
with
each
of
these
new
missions
they're
gaining
it's
only
going
to
place
more
and
more
stress
upon
that
system.
A
B
C
C
What
this
item
will
do
will
enable
me
to
continue
to
work
on
that
contract
and
the
details
of
that
contract
and
then,
once
the
air
force
gives
us
the
notice,
if
they
give
us
the
notice,
then
it
gives
the
mayor
and
the
chair
or
their
designees
the
authorization
to
sign
the
contract
to
execute
the
contract
without
going
back
to
city
council
and
the
trust.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
the
the
government's
year
end
is
september
30
and
we're
we're
kind
of
running
out
of
time.
C
So
if,
if
we
had
to
wait
to
go
to
those
two
bodies
for
final
approval
before
we
could
execute
the
contract,
there's
a
high
likelihood
that
it
would
not
get
executed
in
this
fiscal
year.
So
that's
why
we're
asking
for
this
approval
today,
rather
than
waiting
until
we
get
a
final
contract
with
authorization
to
proceed.
A
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
chris.
I
appreciate
it,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
read
the
agenda
item
fully,
so
we
can
vote
on
it.
So
we
are
voting
on
item
number
two,
which
is
the
joint
resolution
with
city
of
oklahoma
city
authorizing
approving
and
ratifying
all
previous
actions
undertaken
authorizing
the
general
manager
of
the
oklahoma
city,
water,
utility
trust
and
designated
municipal
councillor
to
take
all
actions
necessary
to
complete
and
execute
the
proposed
award
contract
and
authorizing
the
mayor.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
so
much
for
agreeing
to
serve
as
the
vice
chair.
We
really
appreciate
that
great
first
meeting
and
a
very
important
first
meeting,
so
thank
you,
councilman
mcatee.
I
would
like
to
officially
welcome
you
to
the
team.
Thank
you
so
much
for
willing
to
serve
or
missing
a
meeting
where
you
were
appointed
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
we're
glad
to
have
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
So
much.
C
We
have
approximately
13
000
accounts
now
that
are
in
in
arrears.
We're
up
2
000
from
the
last
time,
with
the
total
of
about
5.2
million
dollars,
but
we're
continuing
to
work
with
those
customers,
help
them
with
a
payment
plan
and
make
sure
that
we
can
keep
their
water
service
on
when
we
lift
the
moratorium
for
water
shutoffs.
So
right
now
we're
well
below
our
anticipated,
a
9
to
10
million
dollar
limit
and
we're
pretty
stagnant,
with
the
exception
of
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
