The Public Works Agency operates 20 active water wells and seven water <br />pumping stations to supply the city's drinking water. Staff has determined that, through <br />rehabilitation, the efficiency of a majority of the water wells can be increased. Completion of the <br />work will result in the wells producing more water while using less electricity. These third <br />amendments are the final of three possible one -year renewals. <br />On February 7, 2011, the City Council awarded contracts to both Orange County Pump <br />Company, and Bakersfield Well and Pump Company with provisions for three one -year renewals. <br />Both vendors have performed well during the past contract period and provided very responsive <br />service to the City. In addition, both vendors provide specialized pump maintenance services <br />that are periodically necessary. <br />25B -1 <br />
