AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Authorizing Well 3 Pump Replacement RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the pump replacement at Well 3. BACKGROUND: The city operates seven production wells to provide potable water to the community. Each year, the above-ground components are visually inspected. More thorough inspections are completed every 6-8 years. These inspections include pulling the pump from the well, opening the pump and testing the electrical components, televising the drop pipe and well bowl, and identifying necessary repairs. These repairs can range from routine pump maintenance, to well casing replacement, to full rehabilitation.
Earlier this year, staff solicited quotes from Traut Companies and Bergerson Caswell to perform the initial inspection and televising of Well 3, which was built in 1973 and last rehabilitated in 2017. Bergerson Caswell was selected for the inspection and televising phase of the project. Based on
their evaluation, they have provided a quote for recommended maintenance in the amount of $26,550. The scope of work includes:
• Replacing 6 pieces of drop pipe • Replacing 14 line shaft bearings • Replacing head shaft
• Rebuilding of the discharge head • Rebuilding of pump bowl assembly • Reconditioning motor and replacing oil
• Epoxy coating on pipe • Shop labor Bergerson Caswell has been the contractor on previous well rehabilitation projects for the city and is familiar with the critical components of our water delivery system. Staff is recommending the execution of the city standard contract with Bergerson Caswell in the amount of $26,550 to complete the recommended maintenance on Well 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Money is budgeted every year for this type of annual well maintenance. The 2024 CIP includes $55,000 for this project (601-49400.00-55530.00 Infrastructure).
