Tulsa Hills Shopping Center
Tulsa, Oklahoma
This was another very challenging site development project for us. Initially we had to locate numerous shallow, abandoned oil wells and research to find a contractor who could plug the wells and document his work for release of environmental issues as required by anchor tenants and the bank loans.
Another major challenge we faced was relocating an existing 36” high-pressure gas main from the middle of the site to its perimeter in order to accommodate our site plans and building construction. To do so, we worked directly with the gas company to coordinate their relocation designs with our site plan, provided required rock excavation at the new gas line, and procured a $1,000,000 payment for them to initiate and complete the gas line relocation coordinated with our schedule.
Our project also required major improvements to both existing 71st and 81st Streets and the construction of a new four-lane Olympia Avenue through the center of the project. This addition to the project scope required extensive design coordination with both the state and city, as well as lane closures, etc. during construction.
We relocated high power electrical transmission lines to the perimeter of the site to accommodate the site plan and buildings, worked directly with the power company to coordinate designs, and procured a $1,000,000 relocation payment to ensure coordination with our overall project schedule.
Paris Projects developed the overall phased program/site construction schedule so that the owner could commit to completion and opening dates with tenants as the leases were negotiated. It was critical that the owner avoid late penalties and loss of rents.
Initially this owner contemplated negotiating with a general contractor for the construction of the first phase of building. When initial costs came in way over budget, we were able to prequalify a select bidders list and obtain competitive bids that saved the owner $8,000,000 from the initial contractor's negotiated budget costs.
The owner negotiated a $13,000,000 TIF (tax increment financing) with the city. Paris Projects informed the city of construction progress with status reports and summarized the contractor's sales tax for the project, which led to the city funding $13,000,000 to the owner before the project was even completed.
Tulsa Hills was a 2½-year construction project in which Paris Projects maintained all critical delivery dates, achieved all of its goals, and provided excellence in team management.
