COUNCIL MEETING <br />APR 1 4 1997 <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION ciTY OF ORONO <br />DATE: April 14, 1997 <br />ITEM NO.:10 <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Ser\'ices <br />Administrator Reviewed: <br />3.^ <br />Agenda Section: <br />Engineer ’s Report <br />Item Description: Quotation for Navarre Well ftl Repair <br />Wei! 1 in the Navarre water system requires emerj^ency repairs. This water system contains two <br />wells. Well tf\ is the main well with a capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute. Well #2, with a <br />capaciu of 275 gallons per minute, is used as a back up well. The screen on the well pump has <br />failed and portions of this screen have broken off and become lodged in the check valve. This <br />well has been shut down since this problem was discovered. <br />Repair of this well requires the removal of the submersible well pump and motor. This well has <br />been in operation since 1972, so the bearings and seals should all be replaced when the pump and <br />motor are out. Since we are not certain on the e.xtent of damage or wear to the equipment, <br />alternate quotes have been received for the replacement of the pump bowl assembly and motor. <br />The decision on replacement of this equipment will be made after removal and inspection of these <br />components. Items for the jetting and cleaning of the well screen and casing have also been <br />included in the quotation. <br />Quotations haw been obtained from four reputable well companies for this project. The <br />quotations, including the alternates, ranged from $15,155.15 to $17,940. The lowest quotation <br />was submitted by E. H. Renner & Sons Inc.. Elk River. A tabulation of the quotations received <br />is attached. The quotation from E. M. Renner is summarized below. <br />Equipment removal and repair, and cleaning of well $11,978.15 <br />All 1 Furnish new pump bowl assembly <br />*AU 2 Furnish new submersible motor <br />$1,200.00 <br />$ 1,977.00 <br />* Alternates to be used if needed <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to authorize repairs to Navarre well ^2, and accept quotation from E.
