Originally Budgeted: 1987/88
FROM: City Manager Budgeted Fund: Water Capital Outlay
Amount Budgeted: 5200,000 (total)
MEETING DATE: October 19, 1988
AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under WeII Drilling, Well 1- R, 705 East Lodi
Avenue, Contract and Direct the Public Works Director to File a
Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's Office
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements for "Well
Drilling, Well IR" and direct the Public Works Director to file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This contract was awarded to Clark Wel l and
Equipment Company of Stockton on March 16, 1988 in the amount of $53,950.00.
The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by the City Council with one exception described
bel ow.
The contract completion date was June 17, 1988, and the actual completion
date was June 22, 1988. The final contract price was $27,087.50.
A change order substantially reducing the contract price was mutually agreed
upon after it was discovered the well casing installed did not meet the
specifications. The steel casing specified contains copper to reduce
corrosion and extend the well life. The casing installed did not contain
copper in spite of having the proper shipping tags and mill certifications.
This was revealed in the results of a metallurgical text requested by the
City. The supplier traced the order and acknowledged the error.
Since redrilling the we'll was impractical at this site, the City requested a
deduction of 50%of the contract price. This was based on the casing
supplier's information indicating a doubling in service life with the use of
copper bearing casing over plain steel casing. After much discussion, the
supplier agreed and paid the requested amount to the City.
