AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain council approval to proceed with installation of a <br />sand screen in Well #3. <br /> <br />2. Background. In 2018, Well #3 underwent inspection. Inspections and rehabilitation should take <br />place every 7-10 years to ensure issues are detected early and before they become major problems. Well <br />#3 has not had a deliberate inspection and maintenance process since its installation in 1991. Since its <br />installation well #3 has not been able to operate full capacity due to heavy sand intake when the pump is <br />at full power. During the Well #4 project we added a screen to the well head since it was being drilled <br />into the same aquifer and sandstone formation. While the well was being inspected and rehabilitated city <br />staff asked the Traut Wells, to assess whether a similar screen on well #3 would be feasible. <br /> <br />3. Scope. Work includes pulling the pump, installing a sand screen then reinstalling the pump on Well <br />#3. <br /> <br />4. Cost. Traut Wells provided a quote of $98,650.00 to install a 40ft screen to Well #3. . <br /> <br />5. Funding. The work will be funded by the Water Fund. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to accept the quotation in the amount of $98,650.00 from Traut Wells for adding a screen to Well <br />#3. <br /> <br /> <br />Item No.: 10 Date: January 28, 2019 <br />Item Description: Well #3 Sand Screen <br />Presenter: Adam T.
