BACKGROUND: The Hunt 10 Well supplies potable waterto Riverside. The Well was originally constructed in 1949. In 1996, the pump bowls were replaced and a 75 horsepower{Hp}motor was transferred from another well to Hunt 10 well. The well has not been rehabilitated since the original installation of well casing. Over the years, the water level in the well has steadily lowered until it no longer produced water. It is proposed that the well be rehabilitated, tested and refitted with a new pump and motor. In addition, staff will purchase materials and use Riverside Public Utility forces to reconfigure the piping. This project is for the rehabilitation of the well as described above. Staff solicited bids from five contractors to rehabilitate and to complete the replacement of the pump and pump column. Four bids were received on July 26, 2012. Staff has reviewed the bids and determined that Tri County Pump Company has met the requirements of the specifications.
