CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO
SOLICIT QUOTES FOR WEll #9 PUMP AND INSTAllATION
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for Council to authorize staff to solicit
quotes for Well #9 pump and installation.
History
On November 20, 2006, the City Council approved a contract agreement with
Mark J. Traut Wells, Inc. for completion of Well #9 in the amount of $315,119,
with an additional casing option in the amount of $54,600 if necessary to
complete the drilling through the soft Jordan sandstone formation.
Current Circumstances
Traut Wells, Inc. has completed the drilling with the additional casing option,
along with grouting and sealing of the Jordan aquifer and pump testing of Well
#9. City staff is working to connect Well #9 to the pump control building and
the chemical feed.
Conclusion
This Franconia Ironton Galesville (FIG) has been tested to produce 500
gallons per minute. AE2S has provided specifications for the necessary
equipment and installation of a 500 gpm pump for Well #9. It is estimated that
the pump, including installation will be approximately $35,000.
Authorization to solicit quotes for Well #9 pump and installation will allow staff
to bring Well #9 into production by the middle of June, prior to the City's
historical peak pumping periods of July and August. This will help offset some
of the limitations on the City's water supply.
Funding for Wells #8 and #9 is solely provided by development fees from the
City's Trunk Water Acreage charge. The need for these wells is a result of
new development and therefore funding is 100% development derived. The
funding for completion of this well and the balance of the project is available in
the Trunk Fund.
1. Approve a resolution authorizing staff to obtain quotes for Well #9 pump
and installation.
2. Table this agenda item for a specific reason.
3. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
