SUMMARY:
The Board will consider authorization of funds for preparing, painting
and sealing the wellhead piping, valving, instrumentation and motor equipment
for the ASR-3 and 4 wells at the Phase 2 Seaside Middle School Aquifer Storage
and Recovery (ASR) facility. This work
is to be completed to the same specifications as for all of the California
American Water (Cal-Am) wells and will be conducted by Cal-Am’s approved
contractor. While this work is being conducted, the wells should not be
operated, so this work is currently being scheduled for completion this fall
before the upcoming winter injection operating season. The work is being conducted to synch
scheduling with the same for the ASR-1 and 2 wells at the Phase 1 Santa
Margarita ASR facility as a means to reduce costs for completing this work at
both sites.
RECOMMENDATION:
District staff recommends authorization for expenditure of budgeted
funds up to $8,280, which includes a 15% contingency amount ($1,080) over the
estimated cost in the event that actual costs exceed the current estimate. Staff will proceed to procure the contractor
for this work if this item is adopted with the Consent Calendar.
BACKGROUND:
The District has been working in cooperation with Cal-Am in developing
the Phase 2 ASR facilities as part of the larger efforts on the Seaside Basin
ASR program. Permanent pumping equipment
was recently installed in 2013 at the ASR-4 well and at the ASR-3 well in 2011. Currently both the ASR-3 and ASR-4 wells have
permanent equipment installed, thereby allowing this final painting and sealing
work to be conducted at the same time as a cost efficiency measure.
IMPACT
ON STAFF/RESOURCES: Planning, design, construction and operation
of the ASR Project facilities are ongoing significant staff commitments, as
reflected in the District’s Strategic Plan and annual budgeting. Funds for this work are available in the
MPWMD FY 2013-14 budget under Line Item 1-2-1 B (Water Project 2), adopted June
17, 2013 (Item 23), Account #5-04-7860.06.
