Staff has determined that through rehabilitation, the efficiency of a majority of the water wells can be increased. The rehabilitation work is needed to restore the wells to maximum water production capacity. Completion of the work will result in the wells producing more water while utilizing less electricity. To avoid schedule conflicts and ensure rapid response, an option of four vendors is recommended. On May 15, 2006, the City Council awarded contracts to Layne Christensen Co., Bakersfield Well & Pump Co., So Cal Pump & Well Drilling, Inc., and Orange County Pump Co., a Santa Ana vendor, for a two-year period, with provision for three one-year renewals. The vendors have performed satisfactorily during the past contract period, and staff recommends the first renewal of the contract. 22D-1 Contract Award for Water Well Rehabilitation March 2, 2009 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Water Utility Water Production & Supply account (no. 64-574-6291).
