REOUE0 FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA IAM Agenda Date Requested: January 26 1998 Requested By: S. Gillett W Public Works_4U Report Resolution XXX Ordinance Exhibits: Ordinance Bid Tabulation for Water Well Improvements Bidder's List SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Sealed bids were received on December 8, 1998 for water well improvements to Water Well No. 3, located on Fairmont Parkway at South 4`s Street. Bid requests were sent to six (6) area suppliers, with three (3) returning bids. The Projects consists of reconstructing the foundation of the well to conform to TNRCC regulations. The well head elevation is below minimum standards, and will be raised to conform to new requirements. This will also necessitate raising the main and auxiliary pump motors and piping. Because the works requires the removal of the well shaft and pump at the bottom of the well, it is also a good opportunity to inspect and make any repairs to the well pump, which has not been inspected in over 25 years. Low bid meeting specifications was submitted by Weisinger Water Well of Conroe in the amount of $35,800. This amount includes performing all the work described above, but not including parts required for pump repair. It is estimated that the amount required for parts replacement should not exceed $14,200, for a total estimated cost of $50,000. The Utility Capital Improvement Fund included $29,500 for this Project. The difference includes the cost to inspect and repair the down -hole pump as needed. The additional $20,500 needed is available in the Utility CIP Fund Contingency. Action Required by Council: Award the bid for Water Well Improvements to Weisinger Water Well in the amount of $50,000, and appropriate an additional $20,500 from the Utility CIP Fund Contingency for the Project.
