The County and Calmes & Pierce have <br />investigated the following options: <br />1. 'Construct a manhole over the well and relocate the pump <br />station and controller. <br />2. Drill a shallow well and replace the existing irrigation <br />system including sprinkler lines, sprinkler heads, pump <br />station and controllers. The existing system requires a <br />high volume of water. <br />3. Drill a new artesian flow well and relocate the existing <br />Pump station and controller. <br />The County and Calmes & Pierce spoke to several well drillers and <br />irrigation contractors about the various options. They all <br />recommended Option 3. Option 1 was unacceptable because -the weight <br />of traffic could cause the well to collapse. Option 2 was <br />unacceptable because water from a shallow well in this area <br />contains a considerable amount of rust that would discolor the pool <br />and require additional treatment. <br />Prices for Option No. 3 were obtained from the following companies: <br />ARTESIAN FLOW WELL <br />Adger Smith Wells, Inc. $6,385.50 <br />Reliable Services $6,500.00 <br />McLaughlin Well Drilling $6,700.00 plus tax <br />IRRIGATION MODIFICATIONS <br />The Latter Rain, Inc. $2,625.00 <br />Schroeder's Irrigation $2,779.00 <br />Jordan Sprinkler Systems Inc. $2,987.00 <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends that the Board approve paying Calmes & Peirce Inc. <br />$9,010.50 (total of low bids) for the cost of Option 3, with the <br />stipulation that no additional claims or charges be brought to the <br />County for well drilling or modifications to the irrigation system. <br />The County will be responsible for capping the existing well. <br />Funding is from Account 101-156-541-067.43. <br />36 <br />
