AND APPURTENANT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda is for Council to authorize the purchase and
installation of the Well #9 pump and appurtenant electrical equipment.
Historv
On May 7,2007, City Council authorized staff to solicit quotes for Well #9
pump and installation.
Current Circumstances
In addition to the pump installation, appurtenant electrical services and
connections are necessary to complete the installation of pumps #8 and #9.
The cost for the appurtenant equipment is $24,000 with the installation being
provided by Cedar Lake Electric, the electrical contractor for Wells #8 and #9.
Staff obtained two quotes for Well #9 pump and installation which are listed
below:
Traut Wells E.H. Renner and Sons
Waite Park, MN Elk River, MN
$32,500 $37,513.60
Staff recommends the low bidder Traut Wells who has previously completed
the drilling on Well #9. In addition to the pump, appurtenant equipment for the
controls and electrical connections to the well is required in the amount of
$24,000. This equipment will be purchased in accordance with City
Purchasing Policy guidelines.
Conclusion
Well #9 is in the Franconia Ironton Galesville (FIG) formation. The pump
design is for 500 gallons per minute. Cost provided by both well companies is
in-line with the engineer's estimate.
Installation of this pump will complete the City's Well #8 and #9 project.
ISSUES:
Authorization to move forward with the purchase of the pump and installation
for Well #9 should bring this well into production by the middle of June, prior to
the City's historical peak pumping periods of July and August.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
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 the result of
new development and therefore funding is 100% development derived. The
