BACKGROUND:
On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, the Mayor and City Council awarded a contract to Great Lakes Water Resources Group, in the amount of $184,226.00, for the rehabilitation of Well 28D.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Great Lakes Water Resources Group completed the removal of the pumping equipment and took it to their shop for evaluation. Upon disassembly of the pump, it was determined it was able to be rebuilt and reused. The motor was sent in for evaluation and it was determined it could be refurbished and reused. Additional funds are required to complete work not anticipated in the original scope of work. These tasks include disassembling the pump bowl, reconditioning and reassembling the bowl for reuse, providing a downhole transducer to monitor water levels in real time, and shipment of the motor to and from Texas for service. Great Lakes Water Resources Group submitted a total cost of $26,668.65 to complete the additional work. For comparison, the cost of a new motor and pump bowl would be approximately $215,000.00.
Funds will be charged to the Water and Sewer Improvement Fund / Water Supply / Construction (Org 50180011, Object 557200, $26,668.65, Project Code 24065).
