Chickasha council approves amendment with Freese Nichols; staff to present construction update at next meeting
Summary
Council approved Task Authorization #3 amendment 1 with engineering firm Freese Nichols to advance a city plant project and asked staff for a project update at the next meeting; staff said 100% plans are complete and bidding is planned for August.
The Chickasha City Council approved a master professional services agreement amendment (Task Authorization No. 3, Amendment No. 1) with Freese Nichols and authorized the city manager and mayor/chairman to execute the contract.
During discussion a council member raised questions about recent changes and disclaimers in the agreement. City staff responded that the agreement had been amended after back-and-forth discussions and that staff and Freese Nichols were comfortable moving forward. A staff speaker said, “We we've completed 100% plans and I'll be glad to bring you and have a presentation at your next meeting, sir,” and told the council staff plans to seek bids in August and to proceed toward construction of the plant.
A council member requested a formal project update at the next meeting so citizens could hear specifics “straight from the horse's mouth,” and staff agreed. The motion to approve the amendment and authorize execution passed on a roll-call vote.
The meeting record does not specify the motion maker or second by name; no amendments to the motion were recorded during the vote. The transcript indicates the council expects a future presentation with a full project update, including bidding and schedule information.
