Council awards upgrade for Well No. 1 after staff rehabilitation improved yield
Summary
Following staff rehabilitation work that boosted production, Lindon City Council awarded a contract to the low bidder to complete Well No. 1 upgrades. Staff reported the well had been rehabilitated to sustainable pumping rates and is expected to increase capacity for the water system.
Lindon City Council approved a notice of award on Dec. 2 to the low bidder for the Well No. 1 upgrade project after staff presented a technical update on well performance.
Staff reported that a recent rehabilitation and camera inspection of the mid‑century well restored production from about 320 gallons per minute to a sustainable operating range near 700 gallons per minute, with acceptable drawdown. Engineers recommended equipment upgrades and pump components to match the rehabilitated well characteristics. The low bidder identified in staff materials was Ryno Pumps (staff noted the contractor had recently worked on Well No. 5), and council moved to award the contract to that bidder.
The council approved the notice of award; staff noted the original budgeted amount for rehabilitation was $125,000 for the fiscal year, and rehabilitation design and work used a portion of that budget. The awarded contract for pumps and equipment was reported to be approximately $94,000; staff said savings from other well projects will cover the remainder without drawing from reserves.
Ending: Staff will proceed with the vendor award and finalize the wellhead and pump installation schedule.
