DATE: September 27, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Mark K. Vukojevic, P.E. 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.
