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