Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; nsent Agenda;CB:Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Award of bid for Well Head Maintenance Date of Report: February 5, 1997 Staff received sealed bids for City Projects 97-1 Well#3 maintenance and 97-2 Well#5 maintenance. The results of the bid opening are as follows: Well#3 Well#5 Alberg Water $14,409.00 $10,666.00 Keys Well $14,972.00 $11,470.00 E.H. Renner $18,235.00 $13,214.50 Thein Well $18,244.00 $13,975.00 Bergerson $18,486.00 $14,210.00 Traut Wells $18,627.00 $14,068.00 IIIStaff is recommending award of both projects to Alberg Wells. Staff is also recommending upgrading the line shaft of the wells to stainless steel and installation of Drexelbrook draw down gauges. The stainless steel upgrade will allow for better balancing of the entire pump which will result in less wear of the bearings, pump section and motor. Stainless steel line shafts can also be used 3 to 4 times longer than carbon steel shafts which will also reduce future expenses for well maintenance. The Drexelbrook drawn down gauges will provide valuable accurate information on the condition and water pumping level of the City's wells. Including these two alternatives will increase the amount of both well projects. The final anticipated expense for well#3 will be $19,627.00 and $13,916.00 for well#5. Staff would also request authorization for the Director of Public Works to sign all change orders not to exceed 10% for the combined projects. Due to circumstances beyond staff's control a well maintenance project was not performed in 1996. Staff is requesting a transfer of$15,000.00 from account no. 700-4123-516 Infrastructure Maintenance in the 1996 budget, to the same account in the 1997 budget. The 1997 budgeted amount for this project is $15,000.00. Staff is also requesting authorization and transfer of$3,350.00 from the Water Contingency account no. 700-4123-910 for the additional expenses. (The balance of the contingency account for future unfunded and or unforeseen expenditures will be $11,650.00.) The $3,350.00 would be transferred to Water Infrastructure Maintenance account no. 700-4123-516 and would include a 40 total expenditure of$36,793.00.
