r MEMO TO: Mayor and City Coun FROM: Clerk-Administrato DATE: April 14, 1983 SUBJECT: WELL NO. 6 REPAIRS The following actions have been taken with respect to the repair of Well No. 6: 1. All of the equipment in Well No. 6 was pulled from the Well by Layne Minnesota on Friday, April 8th, and Monday, April llth, at a cost of $1,700.00 which was previously authorized by the City Council. 2. An inspection of the equipment by Layne Minnesota has revealed that besides general maintenance work being needed, along with the replacement of a small number of parts, an entirely new five stage pump bowl, at a cost of $3,474.00, is recommended as the repair of pump bowl would cost $5,955.00 thereby making the purchase of a new unit more desirable. The total cost of repairs to Well No. 6, as outlined by Layne Minnesota, which include the baling of the Well to remove deposits found in the bottom of the Well, will total $8,872.50. 3. It is advisable that while the Well pump and shaft has been pulled and after baling has been completed on the Well, that the Well be televised by Midwest Underground at a cost of $1,250.00 to confirm the condition of the Well hole. In discussions with City Attorney Meyers, lie has advised myself and Mr. Johnson that .it is his opinion that the three items listed above are three entirely separate items which do not require that the City goes to sealed bids in order to have the work performed. He does, however, recommend that proposals be obtained from at least two other companies on the repair work identified in Item No. 2 in order that we comply with State statutes for contracts between $5,000.00 and $10,000.00. Staff will be contacting Keys Well Drilling and Bergerson-Caswell, who submitted sealed bids for the repair of Well No. 5, to determine if these companies would be interested in submitting proposals for the repair of Well No. 6. The televising of Well No. 6 would be performed by Midwest Underground and can be authorized by a purchase order issued with the approval of the City Council.
