THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Mark K. Vukojevic, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR
DECOMMISSIONING OF WELL NO. 7
PROJECT NO. 50072
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will award a construction contract for the
decommissioning of Well No.7, Project No. 50072 to the lowest responsible bidder, F.T.
Ziebarth Company, in the amount of $153,300, and authorize the City Manager to
execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On August 11, 2003 the City Council approved the City's Water Rate Study /Master Plan.
The Master Plan reviewed the City's existing water system and identifies its future needs.
One of the objectives identified was continuous minor projects such as decommissioning
of Well No. 7. This water well is located on Westminster Avenue, adjacent to the Naval
Weapons Station entrance site. Though the facility is currently operational, it has not
been utilized since 1969 and the City's water system no longer requires it services.
Decommissioning the site would put the City in compliance with the State Department of
Health Services rules and regulations regarding well abandonment. Currently, the site
requires regular maintenance and reporting requirements taking the Department's staff
away from core utility functions and duties. Officially decommissioning the well will be
a benefit to the Department by the elimination of maintenance at the site. Once the site is
properly decommissioned, the property will revert back to the Navy Base.
On September 27, 2004 City Council approved the plans and specifications and
authorized Staff to initiate the bidding process for the decommissioning of Well No. 7
Project No: 50072. The City Clerk opened bids on November 17, 2004 and no bids were
received at time of bid opening. The lack of bidders for the project was discussed with
the City Attorney, and it was recommended to re- advertise the project and re- schedule
another bid opening.

The City Clerk received and opened three (3) bids on January 27, 2005 as listed below:
Company Bid Amount
1. F.T. Ziebarth Company $153,300
2. Layne Christensen $181,605
3. SS. Mechanical Corp $185,798
Staff has researched the qualifications of F.T. Ziebarth Company and verified that they
are qualified and properly licensed to perform the work under this contract. Staff
contacted the references provided by the contractor and determined that the contractor
has satisfactorily completed similar projects for organizations in the area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are currently available in fiscal year 2004/05 from the Water Capital fund within
the City's approved 5 -year Capital Improvement Program budget to construct these
improvements under Project No. 50072.
