AWARD CONTRACT FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF WELL NO. 4 TO BERGERSON CASSWELL INC. IN AN AMOUNT OF $38,052.00
Background
In December 2017, staff detected a failure in the level sensors and pump of Well #3 which is located near Water Treatment Plant #1 and Well #4 in Aquatore Park. Investigation of the well showed significant cathodic corrosion and a need for emergency repair, which was approved at the April 5, 2018 City council meeting.
Staff suspects that Well No. 4 is experiencing the same problems due to its close proximity to Well No. 3. Bids for inspection and repair were requested to perform inspection Well No. 4 and for any components that may need repair or replacement.
Quotes were requested of the three major well drilling and inspection companies serving the Twin Cities area.
Quotes were solicited from:
Bergerson-Caswell Inc. $ 38,025.00
Keyes Well Drilling Co. $ 42,565.00
Traut Companies $ 44,725.00
Funds for redevelopment of Wells 3 & 4 were appropriated in the 2017 budget. Capital Improvement Project 17-18: Well 3 & 4 Redevelopment had not yet been started when the failure occurred. This work will complete a portion of that project.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to award contract to Bergerson-Caswell Inc. for inspection and repairs to Well No. 4 in the amount of $38,025.00.
