This well is <br />critical to our ablility to operate the water system during an extended <br />power outage. <br />We have contacted two (2) well companies for estimates for the <br />necessary repairs. Alsay, Inc. has failed to respond to our request <br />for an estimate. Weisinger Water Well, Inc. has given an estimate that <br />the repairs will not exceed six thousand dollars ($6,000.00). There is <br />no way of knowing the actual repair costs until the unit is removed and <br />disassembled. <br />We recommend that Weisinger Water Well, Inc. be authorized to make <br />repairs to the right angle gear drive of well no. 2 in an amount not to <br />exceed $6,000.00. Due to the critical nature of this well to our <br />emergency water supply system, we request that an emergency be declared <br />and these repairs be started immediately. We will place this item on <br />the City Council Agenda for Monday, June 26, 1989• Funds for these <br />repairs are available in the operating budget of the Water/Wastewater <br />Department. <br />xc: John Joerns, Assistant City Manager <br />Steve Gillett, Public Works Director <br />Curtis Herrod, Utility Superintendent <br />Louis Rigby, Purchasing Manager <br />
