LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Test Well No. 4 was constructed in 2012 as part of the site planning and acquisition process for the City’s municipal Well No. 4. A smaller test well was constructed to verify the aquifer water quality and capacity in the location of Well No. 4 prior to purchasing the site and proceeding
with the construction of the much more expensive well construction. With Well No. 4 completed
and in service the test well is no longer in use and must be sealed and abandoned per the
Minnesota Department of Health Well Code. Staff recently obtained a quote from Kimmes-Bauer Well Drilling, Inc. in the estimated amount
of $2,515.00 to seal Test Well No. 4. Kimmes Bauer Well Drilling is a licensed well contractor
and was the contractor that constructed the test well in 2012. The quote is based on the unit price
per cubic yard of grout required to successfully seal the well. Payment will be made for the actual quantities of grout installed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council consider approving, as part of the Consent Agenda, a contract with Kimmes-Bauer Well Drilling, Inc. to seal Test Well No. 4. If removed from the
consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve the quote provided by Kimmes-Bauer Well Drilling, Inc. to permanently
seal Test Well No. 4 for $2,515.00”. ATTACHMENT(S):
