JUL 161980 <br />Dox 44 PAGE 88 <br />Our review of the entire test well program shows the following: <br />A. The low bidder Alsay-Pippin Corporation is qualified to perform the con- <br />struction. <br />B. The low bid of $116,802.00 (with adjustment for actual quantities used) is <br />below the estimated cost as shown in Item 3 above ($145,000.00). <br />C. The cost for the third production well, if to be constructed under the test <br />well program, based on the low bidder's unit price, is $37,980.00 (same as <br />Bid Item No. 3 - 8 hours pump test). This cost is below the estimated cost <br />as shown in Item 3 above ($50,000.00). <br />D. The overall test well program cost which includes: <br />1. Construction (based on low bid) $116,802.00 <br />2. Third production well 37,980.00 <br />3. Geraghty & Miller fee (approximately) 50,000.00 <br />$204,782.00 <br />The actual total cost will require adjustment for actual quantities of <br />well construction and Geraghty & Miller fee. The allocated cost for this <br />work, as presented in the Joint Venture engineering report, is $258,000.00. <br />Therefore, based upon our review of the entire test well program and associated <br />costs, we are recommending the County to proceed with the program and award the <br />test well construction contract (in conjunction with Geraghty & Miller's recom- <br />mendation) to Alsay-Pippin Corporation. The County should also proceed with the <br />third production well based on the bid price received, if the review of the data <br />obtained during the test well program is favorable. The Joint Venture and <br />Geraghty & Miller will report to the Commission with a recommendation for the third <br />production well at that time. <br />We trust our recommendation meets the Commission's approval. We will be present <br />at the next regular meeting to discuss this program. <br />Very truly yours, <br />ohn A.
