PURPOSE:
To consider award of the Replacement and Refurbishment of Horizontal Collector Well Pumps and Piping Construction Project (Contract 500434) in accordance with City Code §§ 3.10.010.2 (A.R.S. Title 34) and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
The Horizontal Collector Well is in need of rehabilitation work. Invitations to Bid for this needed rehabilitation were published in December of 2023 and again in May of 2024, but no bids were received. Staff performed value engineering and determined it was necessary to re-design the well project. The re-designed project was advertised, and the City received two qualifying bids. The low bid of $880,769.68 for the base bid plus force account was provided by the Layne Christensen Company.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
This project will provide for a continued robust water supply and assure that the Horizontal Collector Well’s downtime during the rehabilitation project is maximized due to the specific work being performed as identified.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $880,769.68 are allocated and available in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan utilizing Water Utility Funds for this project.
