AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Professional Services for Test Well Drilling 1992/93
MEETING DATE: October 7, 1992
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve retaining Clark Well, Inc. of
Stockton as a qualified driller for test well drilling services
for 1992/93. Cost will be based on time and materials.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the June 20, 1990 meeting, Council approved retaining a
qualified driller on a time and materials basis for the
drilling of four test wells. Subsequently, test wells for
wells 3-R, 11-R, 24 and 25 were drilled. These wells were
specifically mentioned in the June 20 Council Communication and were drilled by
Clark Well, Inc. Clark has done a good job on these projects and cooperates with
City staff. This work is fairly specialized and few drillers do this work. We have
also checked costs and Clark is substantially less expensive. The cost for each
test well is approximately 512,500. This approval would be for the two sites
described below and any others done through 1993.
The Public Works Department has received preliminary approval from the Lodi Unified
School District to drill test wells at both the Washington and Lakewood school
sites. These sites conform to locations shown on the Water Master. Plan and we would
like to move ahead with testing these sites as soon as possible. Should either of
these sites prove acceptable for municipal wells, the next step would be to
negotiate the lease or purchase of the sites.
