RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council award the drilling contract for Pasadena Avenue

lowest responsive, responsible bidder, in the amount of $1,057,870.00 and authorize the
Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2006-07 Water Capital Improvement Program (WCIP) provides
$2,132,184.00 for the drilling and construction/equipping phases of the Pasadena Avenue
Well Project (CIP No. 6130). The engineer's estimated cost for the drilling phase is
$1,091,160.00. The Council authorized staff to proceed with the solicitation of bids from
qualified contractors at its regular meeting of July 17, 2006. Budgeted funds should be
sufficient to provide for drilling and related phase contingencies.
BACKGROUND
The proposed project involves two phases i.e., drilling and constructing/equipping a new
well and related appurtenances to pump groundwater that will satisfy part of Tustin's
domestic water demands. The drilling phase specifically involves drilling a hole into the
ground until the aquifer is penetrated. The new well would be drilled to a depth of 1,200 feet.
The drilled hole is stabilized with alternating sections of solid and perforated stainless steel
casing. The perforations maintain the integrity of the hole while allowing water to flow
through it. The well is then tested to determine its pumping capacity. The test data is used
to design the pump and other ancillary equipment installed during the construction phase.
