' RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES R - Board Memorandum PUBLIC' UTILI EIS BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: November 2, 2012 ITEM NO: 7 SUBJECT: REHABILITATION OF WELL AND REPAIR OF THE PUMP FOR COOLEY H WELL WORK ORDER NO. 1308166 ISSUE: That the Board of Public Utilities consider approval of the capital expenditure of$75,000 for Work Order No. 1308166 for the rehabilitation of the Cooley H Well. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Public Utilities consider approval of a capital expenditure in the amount of$75,000 for Work Order No. 1308166, which includes the rehabilitation of the Cooley H Well. BACKGROUND: The Cooley H Well was constructed in 1938 and supplies potable water to Riverside. The pump stopped producing water in July 2012 and the ensuing inspection uncovered a broken drive shaft. Staff secured the services of contractors to repair and service the pump and motor, as well as to inspect the Well to determine what level of rehabilitation would be necessary to return the Well to service. Riverside Public Utilities' (RPU) records indicate that the Well has not been rehabilitated since it was constructed and as a result more extensive rehabilitation work is necessary including increasing the number of perforations in the Well casing. The rehabilitation work will consist of the following work: brushing and bailing; water jetting; dual swab; surge and airlifting of the existing and new perforations. Staff solicited bids from five contractors to perform the rehabilitation work. Tri County Pump Company of San Bernardino, California was selected to perform the work identified above. This project is for all work needed to rehabilitate the Cooley H Well, including the well, pump and motor. FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost is estimated at $75,000 as shown on the table below: Description Cost Percent of Total Rehabilitation of Well $46,650 62% Repair of Well Pump $19,448 26%1 Rehabilitation of Motor $3,952 5% Contingencies $4,950 1 7% Total $75,000 100% Sufficient funds are available in the Public Utilities' Water Fund, Facility Rehab Account No. 6230000- 470803.
