<br /> <br /> RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> Board Memorandum <br /> <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: DECEMBER 13, 2021 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK OF RAUB 5R WELL AN URGENT NECESSITY <br />FOR PRESERVATION OF LIFE, HEALTH OR PROPERTY IN THE AMOUNT <br />OF $72,824.96 TO TRICOUNTY PUMP CO. <br />ISSUES: <br />Waive the formal bidding requirements and approve the purchase for the emergency repair work <br />of Raub 5R Well to Tri-County Pump Company in the amount of $72,824.96. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />That the Board of Public Utilities: <br />1. Wave the formal bidding requirements; and <br /> <br />2. Approve the project and contract under Purchasing Resolution No. 23256 Section 702(a) for <br />the emergency repair work of Raub 5R Well to Tri-County Pump Company in the amount of <br />$72,824.96. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Raub 5R Well was constructed in 2014 and is one of three potable water wells responsible <br />for supplying the Raub Ion Exchange (IX) Treatment Plant. Total IX plant production capacity is <br />made up from the three Raub wells and Raub 5R contribution is 36% <br />Without Raub 5R well production, the IX plant would be left without redundancy and failure of the <br />other two would leave the IX plant inoperable. This water source cannot be produced from other <br />areas because current demands require all production assets operate at 100% capacity during <br />peak summer demands. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />down. Upon inspection it was found that a ground fault on the motor was causing the well to be <br />-County, to notify them to <br />pull and inspect the pump assembly. <br />Upon inspection of the pump assembly, Tri-County Pump Company provided an inspection report <br /> <br />
