Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Ed Taylor, Water Utility Manager
Date: 6-27-2003
Subject: Authorization to bid for the Glenshire Well Abandonment Project.
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board authorization is required to advertise for, accept and open bids for the Glenshire Well
Abandonment Project
2. HISTORY
When the District acquired the Glenshire system, the water source was from wells, which
have an arsenic level higher than the new standards. The District constructed a new
transmission main that provides water from the Glenshire Dr. Well. The high arsenic wells in
Glenshire are no longer in use. Staff has evaluated using this wells for irrigation. The cost to
pipe the well water to the sites that could use the water for irrigation exceeds the cost benefit
for the use of irrigation water from these wells. These wells need to be abandoned per state
regulations. The cost of this project will ultimately be funded from the Glenshire Sinking
Fund.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The plans, specifications, and contract documents for the Glenshire Well Abandonment
Project are complete. We are now asking authorization to advertise for, accept, and open
bids for the Glenshire Well Abandonment Project with a bid opening date of July 30, 2003.
4. RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Board authorize staff to advertise for, accept, and open bids for the
Glenshire Well Abandonment Project with a bid opening date of July 30, 2003.
