BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Well 24 is located at 640 North Stockton Street (the Grape Bowl site) and was constructed in 1992. Since, the well production has steadily decreased to where the pumping water level is below the pump intake. The City hired a contractor to remove the pump and perform a video inspection of the well casing, in December of 2017. The video inspection showed the well casing is severely encrusted with scale which is restricting the well screen openings, as shown in Exhibit A. The video also reveals more than six feet of silty -type material at the bottom of the well. The inspection of the pump equipment reflected a substantial amount of wear and tear, indicating that it has reached its expected useful life of more than 20 years. The City needs this water well to supplement peak -hour demand and fire flows in the industrial area east of the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks. This project includes mechanical and chemical removal of the encrustation present on the well casing, removing the debris from the bottom of the well, furnishing and installing new pump equipment to restore production, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is February 14, 2018. The project estimate is $156,000. FISCAL IMPACT: This project will reduce the long term maintenance cost of the water well and enhance water system production capacity. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
