AGENDA ITEM: Rehabilitation of Well No. 1 at Water Plant No. 1
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Director
DATE: May 13, 2011
BACKGROUND: Well No. 1 at Water Plant No. 1 (469 11 St.) was constructed in 1953. In
the last couple of years the well has suffered a serious loss in yield, and is now at less than half
of its original production due to excessive calcium and magnesium carbonate mineral deposits in
the well bore.
Our 2001 Water Master Plan recommended replacing the well by 2008. Replacing the well
would cost several hundred thousand dollars.
Over the past twelve years, JEA in conjunction with their engineers and contractors have
conducted research and developed a proprietary chemical well rehabilitation process that has had
excellent results. After discussions with JEA, staff believes Well No. 1 at Water Plant No. 1 can
be rehabilitated and its life extended significantly by using JEA's process.
The typical chemical rehab process involves injecting strong acid into the well to dissolve built
up calcification. There is significant risk involved in this process, including damage to the well
or to surrounding properties. The process developed by JEA is much safer, and has greatly
increased production and extended the life of many of their public supply wells. In addition, the
rehabilitation process results in electrical savings as less energy is needed to overcome well
drawdown.
JEA has a bid contract with Williams Industrial Services, LLC to complete this work (JEA Bid
No. JEV- 015 -11, Contract No. 109689). The bid is based on hourly rates and percentages for
labor, equipment and overhead, similar to the City's annual contracts for utility and electrical
work. Staff requested a proposal from Williams Industrial Services based on estimated work,
which is a not to exceed amount of $39,999.29.
Staff would like to piggyback on the JEA bid contract for this work.
BUDGET: A total of $50,000 was budgeted for this project in the Water Fund in account
number 400 - 5502 -533 -6300.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Williams Industrial Services, LLC to complete the
Rehabilitation of Well No. 1 at Water Plant No. 1 in an amount not to exceed $39,999.29 and
authorize the City Manager to sign the contract.
