Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Ed Taylor, Water Utility Manager
Date: July 24, 2003
Subject: Authorization to bid for the Exploration Test Well Project.
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board authorization is required to advertise for, accept and open bids for the Exploration
Test Well Project
2. HISTORY
With the continuous proposed development within the Truckee Donner Public Utility District
service territory, it is imperative that the District explore and collect data on the Aquafer to
develop new water sources. The District has used several techniques in exploring additional
water sources. We are proposing the utilization of a technique that is not only less
expensive, but will provide the information required to identify future well sites. This process
will identify geologic formations, water availability and will allow for water quality sampling
during the exploration.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The plans, specifications, and contract documents for the Exploration Test Well Project are
complete. We are now asking authorization to advertise for, accept, and open bids for the
Exploration Test Well Project with a bid opening date of August 18, 2003.
4. RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Board authorize staff to advertise for, accept, and open bids for the
Exploration Test Well Project with a bid opening date of August 18, 2003.
