Interim Director of Public Works /City Engineer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR DEMOLITION OF WELL NO. 7 PROJECT No. 50072 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications and authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process for the decommissioning of Well No. 7 Project No. 50072. 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. 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 March 2005. Agenda Item it • J 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 approve the plans and specifications and authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process for the decommissioning of Well No. 7 Project No. 50072.
