Full report
Moore City Council has approved a $285,303.75 amendment to its agreement with Eagle Consultants Inc. for additional engineering and survey services on the relocation of the wastewater treatment plant discharge pipeline, as the project adapts to changes linked to Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) works.
The unanimous October 19 vote approved Amendment No. 2 for the project, identified as OTA project EWC-28103A and JP-3710038. City staff said the original design contract was awarded in December 2024, when the pipeline work was expected to proceed as a single project, with one set of plans, one bid and construction administered by the city.
That structure changed midway through design. The work is now divided into three projects, requiring three sets of plans and three bid openings, two of which will be administered by Moore. OTA also asked the city to separately procure long-lead materials so they can be delivered and installed in time for vehicles to use the east-west corridor by September 2027.
Staff attributed the additional engineering needs to the pace of OTA's design and construction activity, as well as recurring coordination issues and changes to right-of-way and roadway details. In some cases, staff said, pipeline alignment changes were required because right-of-way could not be acquired or because bridge abutments had to be moved. Detailed final roadway plans and potential conflicts also remained unsettled because of the multiple projects under way.
A staff representative told the council that OTA had agreed to reimburse the city for the cost of the amendment. Asked whether further changes could arise, the representative said there was a possibility of one or two additional amendments before the work is finished.
The decision is a further adjustment to the engineering phase rather than a construction award. It allows the city and its consultant to continue revising the discharge-pipeline plans around the evolving turnpike corridor programme.
