Approve Quote for Engineering Consultant Work for Well
Nos. 10 & 11 - Project No. 04-08A
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve Quote for Engineering Consultant Work for Well Nos. 10 & 11 to Bolten &
Menk, Inc. in the amount of $57,960.
BACKGROUND
In May, 2004, in conjunction with the East Water Treatment Plant project, a Lotus Lake
Well Siting study was conducted. This study helped identify the near- and long-term
water needs for the City. It also reinforced the need for a new well to help meet the
current demands. A test well was drilled and test pumped, and modeled to help identify
the location and capacity of a municipal drift aquifer well. The proposed well
improvements are anticipated to meet the demands of the City until 2010. The new wells
will be treated at the east water treatment plant. The electrical controls for the wells were
included in the east water treatment plant contract so no new external panels will be
required. Also, the raw watermains for the two wells were included in the treatment plant
contract. The construction contract for the Well Nos. 10 & 11 includes drilling, and
furnishing the pump equipment necessary for wells. Staff would like to have both wells
operational by the time the east water treatment plant is operational so the plant does not
have to be reset in the future due to changes in the chemistry of the raw water. Also, by
having more water treated at the treatment plant less untreated water will be distributed
into the system for an average day demand event.
Staff received two quotes for engineering services for this work as follows:
SEH,Inc
Bolten & Menk, Inc.
$60,000
$57,960
The scope of work includes design and construction services. Assistance with agency
permitting is also included.
Bolten & Menk, Inc. was the engineer on the Well No.9 project. Their work on that
project was acceptable and award of this to contract to them is recommended.
Funding for the wells was planned for in the 2005 CIP, W-002 & W-003, and is within
the budgeted amount.
