Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between Broken Arrow Municipal Authority and MidAmerica Industrial Park
End
Background:
In March of 2022 BAMA approved an Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to further investigate options for BAMA to obtain a secondary water source from the Grand River that could utilize BAMA’s existing 36-inch waterline from Pryor to the Verdigris River Water Treatment Plant (VRWTP). The recommendation from this report was to obtain a secondary water source from the Grand River by partnering with the Oklahoma Ordnance Works Authority (OOWA), a public trust whose beneficiary is the Stator of Oklahoma, d/b/a MidAmerica Industrial Park (MAIP), this was presented to and approved by BAMA on November 7th, 2024. The first step in obtaining a secondary water source was to create a Memorandum of Understanding with MAIP. This MOU lays out the framework to work towards a definitive agreement with MAIP for BAMA to buy raw water from MAIP and obtain/construct the infrastructure needed to bring the raw water from GRDA’s pump station through MAIP’s property to BAMA’s existing 36-inch waterline.
