AGENDA ITEM #8
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Contract for Martis Valley Well and
Fiberboard Well rehabilitation services
APPROVED BY
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to execute a contract with Carson Pump LLC to complete
the Well Rehabilitation project for Martis Valley Well and Fiberboard Well in the amount
of $192,390 plus a 10% change order authorization for a total not to exceed $211,629.
DISCUSSION:
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District water system is fed by 10 active groundwater
wells requiring regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance to ensure both adequate
water flow and water quality.
The District has developed a water utility 10-year capital improvement plan (CIP) outlining
the capital maintenance and improvement needs. Included within the water utility 10-year
CIP are the maintenance and rehabilitation of the District's groundwater well facilities to
ensure the long term reliability of critical water pumping resources.
The scope of work is generally broken into five parts:
• Mobilization
• Removing the well pump and motor assembly
• Inspection/recommendation
• Maintenance of well pump and motor assembly
• Installation of the pump
• Demobilization.
The District began advertising for bids and a bid opening was held on May 5t" 2022.
Carson Pump LLC was the only bid received.

Carson Pump LLC has a long history with performing well rehabilitations for the District
with great results. Staff has reviewed the bid submitted by Carson Pump LLC and has
found them to be a responsive bidder.
Unscheduled down time is one of the least efficient ways of conducting business. For this
reason, staff is scheduling this work for November (period of time in which the demand is
much lower) versus reactive work that may occur during high demand periods when
facility downtimes are more problematic.
OBJECTIVES & GOALS:
1.05.020 Objectives:
3. Provide reliable and high quality water supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Well rehabilitation is a component of the 2022 Capital Project plan. Per the 2022 budget
$327,473 dollars were allocated for well rehabilitation and these two wells have an
anticipated cost of $211,629 leaving potentially $115,844 for another well this year.
