RECOMMENDED ACTION Accept improvements under contract for Well 3R Rehabilitation
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Well 3R is located at 144 South Rose Street (southwest corner of
Hutchins Street Square site) and was constructed in 1993. The well
has a submersible pump and motor and produces about 850
gallons per minute of ground water into the City's municipal water system. This water well is used to
supplement peak-hour water demand and fire flow capacity in the downtown area.
This project consisted of performing video inspection of the water well, cleaning the well casing,
furnishing and replacing the submersible pump and motor, the discharge column, and other incidental
and related work, as shown on the plans and specifications for the project.
The contract was awarded to Zim lndustries, lnc., of Fresno, in the amount of $167,450, on December
18,2019 and has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved
by City Council on October 2,2019.
The final contract price was 5177,541.80. The difference between the original contract amount and the
finalcontract price is due to two contract change orders. Change Order No. 1 ($8,100) included
repairing a hole in the well casing, which was discovered during the video inspection. Change Order No.
2 ($1,992) included installation of a City-required check valve in the well casing to provide extra
protection to the newly installed submersible pump and motor. The contractor provided a two-year
warranty bond for the pump equipment as specified for the project.
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 notifo 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 The project will decrease maintenance and operating costs of the water
well due to the new pump equipment and clean well screen.
