Water trust authorizes bidding for final Atoka Pipeline segment
Summary
The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust approved plans to advertise bids for WCO 879-1, the northernmost segment of the Atoka Pipeline connecting Macomb Pump Station to Stanley Draper Reservoir; staff said the segment is roughly 16 miles and the system hopes to have it operational by 2028.
The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust on Oct. 21 authorized staff to advertise bids for WCO 879-1, the final and northernmost segment of the Atoka Pipeline, which will carry raw water from the Macomb Pump Station to Stanley Draper Reservoir.
Chair opened the item and introduced the plans and specifications. Mister Harris, the project presenter, told trustees the segment is the longest remaining and "it's about 16 miles long." He described the route as running in a northwesterly direction, wrapping around Lake Thunderbird and into Draper. Harris said the trust hopes "everything will be in the ground and operational by the 2028."
Trustees and staff said they have seen promising contractor interest. Harris said a recent pre-bid for another pipeline segment drew roughly four contractors, and that several contractors working in the area had expressed interest in this segment. No questions were raised at the meeting before a motion to approve the advertising of plans and specifications was made and passed.
Next steps include publishing the bid package and receiving contractor proposals; the meeting did not set specific bid opening dates. The trust recorded the motion to approve item 6a and the item passed.
