The Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust held a meeting on July 21, 2026, where several procurement and contracting matters were addressed. The trust approved a consent docket including engineering reports, plans and specifications for bidding, amendments, change orders, and pricing agreements. An emergency construction contract related to a sinkhole repair on a major pipeline was approved requiring four affirmative votes. The trust ratified acceptance of an additional $500,000 in ARPA funds for an odor control abatement project and authorized acceptance of a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan not to exceed $21.9 million to fund seven projects, with city council approval noted. Additionally, the trust approved a new service agreement for operations and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities, following a competitive proposal process with four submissions.
