DATE: December 13, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Mark K. Vukojevic, P.E. Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: RE- INITIATE BIDDING PROCESS FOR DEMOLITION
OF WELL NO. 7 PROJECT No. 50072
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will authorize staff to re- initiate the bidding process for
the decommissioning of Well No. 7 Project No. 50072
BACKGROUND:
On the September 27, 2004 City Council meeting, 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 was scheduled to
open bids on November 17, 2004. No bids were received at time of bid opening.
The lack of bidders for the project was discussed with the City Attorney, and it is
recommended to re- advertise the project and re- schedule another bid opening. Staff
surveyed potential contractors' interest in bidding the project. Conflicting schedule with
other bid openings on November 17, 2004 impeded contractors to provide 'bids for the
Demolition of Well 7 Project. Contractors have indicated that they are interested in
bidding this project.
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.
Agenda Item Q
The City's consultant, AKM Consulting Engineers, has completed the plans and
specifications in accordance with Department of Health Services Standard. The plans
and specifications have been reviewed by the City's Engineering and Maintenance staff.
Upon the successful bidding process and award of a contract, the project will be
completed in June 2005.
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. The estimated cost of this project is $121,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to re- initiate the bidding process
for the decommissioning of Well No. 7 Project No. 50072
