AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Well 27 Well Drilling,
302 East Highway 12
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the "Well 27
Well Drilling, 302 East Highway 12" contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Nor -Cal Pump & Well Service, of
Yuba City, on October 6, 2004, in the amount of $196,188. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
plans and specifications approved by City Council. The contract
included drilling the well hole, placing the internal steel lining and pump testing the well. The next
contracts at the site will install the well pump, piping and electrical controls. The City realizes significant
cost savings using staged construction in combination with City forces.
The contract completion date was March 16, 2005, and the actual completion date was November 1, 2005.
The difference between the actual completion date and the original scheduled completion date was due to
the difficulty of scheduling the use of the water produced during test pumping the well. This site has no
access to storm drainage facilities, and use of the water on adjacent agricultural land had to be coordinated
with the farmer's needs. The final contract price was $192,595. The difference between the contract
amount and the final contract price is mainly due to field directive changes to the well casing during
construction.
Following acceptance by the City Council, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's office.
FISCAL IAIIIPACT: There will be added costs for maintenance of the new well facilities. These
costs were anticipated in the current rate schedule.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Budgeted Fund: Water Impact Mitigation Fees
Contract Amount: $192,595
