Well Nos. 10 &.11 Improvements: Award Contract
Project No. 04-08A
REQUESTED ACTION
Consider resolution accepting bids and awarding contract for Well Nos. 10 and 11
to Mark J. Traut Wells, Inc.
BACKGROUND
On July 22,2005, a pump test report was competed for the wells.
On August 22, 2005, Council approved a contract for engineering services for
Well Nos. 10 and 11.
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, 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 and 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.
Bids were opened for the project on Thursday, December 1, 2005 at 10:00 AM.
Two (2) bids were received as follows:

Bidder
Mark J. Traut Wells, Inc.
Bergeson-Caswell, Inc.
Amount
$557,240.00
$581,525.00
Engineer's Estimate
$780,030.00
Bids were well below the budgeted amount in the Capital Improvements Program
and below the engineer's estimate. The CIP budget was based on having controls
and raw watermain installed at the time of well construction. These
improvements were included in the East Water Treatment Plant contract for
construction continuity. The engineer's estimate is about 28% under the low bid.
Some of the difference can be attributed to the time of year the work was bid and
the lack of work current! y being bid in the state.
Mark J. Traut Wells has satisfactorily completed work of this nature in the metro
area, including the Well No.9 Construction project for the City that was
completed this year. They also conducted the pump test for Well No. 10.
The bids have been tabulated and no major errors were found. All bids were
submitted with proper bid guarantees in the amount of 5% of the bids.
Based on this information, we recommend award of the Well Nos. 10 and 11
Construction to the low bidder, Mark J. Traut Wells.
Funding for the project was identified in the 2004 CIP - W002&3, and was
included in the 2005 water rate study. Funding of the project is planned for by
using revenue bonds.
