As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1st Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached amendments to <br />agreements with Orange County Pump Corporation and Bakersfield Well and Pump Company, <br />subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, to provide <br />water well rehabilitation services in an annual aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency operates 20 active water wells and seven water pumping stations to <br />supply the city's drinking water. Staff has determined that through rehabilitation, the efficiency of <br />a majority of the water wells can be increased to restore the wells to maximum water production <br />capacity while using less electricity. <br />On February 7, 2011, the City Council awarded contracts to Orange County Pump Company and <br />Bakersfield Well and Pump Company with provisions for 3 one-year renewals. Both vendors <br />have performed well during the past contract period and provided very responsive service to the <br />City. In addition, both vendors provide specialized pump maintenance services that are <br />periodically necessary. <br />Staff recommends the agreements be renewed for a one-year term. This is the first of three <br />possible one-year renewals. <br />25B-1
