CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approval of Professional Services for Test Well Drilling 1994/95
MEETING DATE: December 7,1994
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 1994/95. 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. 1990 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 fairy specialized and few drillers do this
work. We have also checked costs and Clark is substantially Tess expensive. The cost for each test
well is approximately S12,500.
On October 7, 1992, Council approved Clark Well, Inc. for test well drilling for 1993. Test wells for both
Lakewood and Washington schools were subsequently drilled.
The Public Works Department has received preliminary approval from the owner and agents to drill test
wells at Towne Ranch. This site conforms to locations shown on the Water Master Plan and we would
like to move ahead with testing these sites as soon as possible. Should this site prove acceptable for
municipal wells, the next step would be to negotiate the purchase of the site.
It is estimated the Public Works Department may investigate up to four test well sites for 1994/95.
FUNDING: Water Development Impact Fees.
