AGENDA ITEM: Engineering Contract for Well Rehabilitation and Replacement for
Well Nos. 2, SN, 1N, 2S, and 6S, Phase I
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Directo
DATE: April 16, 2003
BACKGROUND: As part of the consumptive use permitting process, the St. Johns
River Water Management District (SJRWMD) required the City to conduct geophysical
and video logging of the production wells. Based on the results of the logging, as well as
the results of laboratory. analysis on the well .water, SJRWMD required rehabilitation,
replacement or abandonment of some of the City's wells.
On February 10, 2003 the City Commission authorized staffto negotiate a contract for
engineering with CH2M Hill. As part of the negotiation process, CH2M Hill met with
staff, completed site visits and performed a fairly extensive review of the existing well
logs, data, and records. A$er discussion, City staff and CH2M Hill agreed to complete
the design work in two phases. Phase I will include the engineering work for Well Nos. 2
and 5N, as this work must be completed by the end of the year. Phase II will include the
design for work on Well Nos. 1N, 2S, and the new Well No. 6S.
Staffhas negotiated a contract with CH2M Hill for Phase I in the amount of $42,890.
This phase includes additional detailed review of existing records, design work and
specification development, meetings with staff and SJRWMD, and bidding services. In
addition, feld services, including construction engineering and inspection aze part of the
contract. Field service for this type of work is extremely important to avoid damage to
the wells. Critical field decision making is often required, and well
testing/documentation for the SJRWMD is essential.
The contract amount represents slightly less than 10% of the estimated construction cost.
BUDGET: A total of $430,000 was budgeted for Phase I in the Water Treatment
Fund, in account number 400-SS02-S33-6300.
RECOMMENDATION: Award a contract for Engineering for Well Rehabilitation
and Replacement for Well Nos. 2, SN, 1N, 2S, and 6S, Phase I, to CH2M Hill in the
amount of $42,890.

APRII., 28, 2003
SCOPE OF WORK FOR BACKPLUGGING OF WELL N0. 2 AND MODIFICATIONS TO PUMP IN WELL N0. 5N
Assumptions
- Well is currently flowing into reservoir with no pumping equipment. At this time,
it is assumed that no pump will be required after backplugging. If a new pump and
wellhead appurtenances are required, design services and hydraulic modeling may
be required and these services can be supplied for additional compensation.
- The City will provide front-end contract documents for the plans and technical
specification packages produced by CH2M HILL.
- No CUP permitting services are included or anticipated under this scope.
- City will contract and pay for Contractor services for testing and logging.
- CH2M HILL will provide recommendations on the actual backplugging zone within
24 hours of conducting additional geophysical logging of the well. The City and
SJRWMD will provide confirmation on CH2M HILL's recommended backplugging
plans within 24 hours of receiving recommendations.
- All testing and backplugging of the well will be performed with one mobilization of
the Contractor.
Task 3: Preparation of Modification Plan for Well No. 5N Vertical Turbine Pump
The purpose of this task is to conduct limited pump testing of Well No. 5N in order to
make recommendations for modifications to be made to the existing pump system to
increase production from the well. This task includes the following:
• Prepare a brief testing plan to perform ashort-term pumping test to evaluate
production rate and pressure provided by the existing pump.
• A limited evaluation of the existing data on the turbine pump in Well No. 5N will be
performed to include horsepower, electrical, and pump bowl modifications to increase
flow from the well.
• Make recommendations on modifications to be made to the existing pump to increase
production from the well.
Deliverables
- Brief well performance testing plan with the objective of evaluating pump
performance. Plan will include anticipated flow rate and duration of pumping test
and parameters (i.e. pressure, flow, etc.) to be monitored.
- Report of findings and recommendations resulting from field testing. The report
will provide performance requirements of the modified pump to include flow, head,
and horsepower, and can be used by the City during bidding.
Meetings
- CH2M HILL will coordinate field activities under this Task with the City Pxoject
Manager.

prior to performing the changed scope of services.
Schedule
The intent of the tasks identified in this scope is to backplug Well No. 2 and make
necessary modifications to the pump in Well No. 5N as quickly as possible within the
constraints of customer demands and reliability issues. The City's schedule for completion
of the backplugging is by the end of 2003. The schedule for completion of work on Well
No. 5N will depend on the required scope of work but is not planned to exceed 10 months.
The work in this scope will be completed within 10 months of City authorization if no site
acquisition, permitting, neighborhood or existing condition factors cause delays. The
project scope and cost estimate are based on a typical work schedule and assumes that no
extraordinary of#orts will be needed to complete the work in an accelerated manner.
Extraordinary efforts include working any time other than daylight hours during weekdays
and other activities not normally required.
