AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Water Well Abandonment Project
MEETING DATE: November 15, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Water Well Abandonment
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consisted of abandoning five water well sites,
destructing five water wells, and other incidental and related work.
Two of the well sites (Well 3 and Well 10R) are located in town and
the remaining three well sites are located at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF).
Well No. 3 is located in a downtown alley at 219 South School Street. The City -owned site is
approximately 1,730 square feet and is surrounded by parking lots. The well was destructed (filled with
cement grout) in 2002 but various pieces of equipment and fencing remained on-site. This element of
the project removed the remaining equipment as this site is being considered for future abandonment.
Well No. 10R is located at 17700 North Guild Avenue, east of the California Traction Company railroad
tracks. The site is approximately 3,600 square feet and is surrounded by farmland. The well has been
out of service since 1992 due to a persistent water -quality problem. This project removed the remaining
equipment and destructed the well per San Joaquin County Health Department requirements. The site
was restored to pre -project conditions as this site is also being considered for future abandonment.
Pictures of the Well 3 and Well 1 OR sites after the abandonment are shown in Exhibit A.
There are three irrigation wells located at the WSWPCF. These wells are no longer in use and were
destructed per the San Joaquin County Health Department requirements. All pumping equipment has
been removed from the sites. This project also restored the sites to pre -project conditions. Since these
sites are located on the WSWPCF property, no abandonment is being considered.
The contract was awarded to Hedman Drilling, Inc., of Sacramento in the amount of $80,000.00 on
December 16, 2015. The project completion date was October 7, 2016. The final contract price was
$99,950.00. The difference between the original contract price and the final contract amount is primarily
due to the discovery of an additional unabandoned well at the Well 3 site underneath the existing
pavement. That well was destructed per San Joaquin County Health Department requirements.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
