well is on the list to be capped when they conduct work in Indian River County in late February — early March. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Staff received a proposal from Centerline Drilling, referencing the Town of Jupiter Surficial Rehabilitation Program for replacement of the well, which includes all work needed to provide a clean source of water for the system. The proposal amount provided on January 7, 2025 (Attachment 4) is $164,920. Staff received a subsequent quote from JLA (Attachment 5) to provide the associated work to properly design, sit the well, oversee construction and provide reporting on the well for a cost of $38,405. The total cost of providing a Floridan well for the source of water to operate the geothermal heating/chilling system at the North County Aquatic Center is quoted at $203,325. This closed loop system requires that water drawn from the source must be returned to the aquafer unchanged. Per JLA's recommendation, Staff will work to budget for exploratory work into the return well next fiscal year. The quote provided does not include construction bond or additional unanticipated site related expenses associated with completing the project. It is recommended that a 10% contingency, in the amount of $20,333, also be allocated to expedite completion of the project. This brings the total authorization amount to $223,658. FUNDING: Funding, in the amount of $223,658 ($203,325 plus 10% contingency), will be funded in MSTU Fund/North County Aquatic Center/Other Improvements Except Building/North County Aquatic Well Rehab account, number 00410472-066390-25002 via budget amendment.
