Summary

The board authorized a task order to Lane Christensen for rehabilitation of San Diego formation Well No.6 (repair cost $185,654 plus 10% contingency) and approved a $204,220 budget transfer from the Well Rehabilitation Program; the motion passed unanimously.

The governing board authorized Task Order No. 1 to Lane Christensen Company to rehabilitate San Diego formation Well No.6 after staff presented inspection findings and cost estimates.

Justin (staff) summarized that Well 6, installed in 2005, failed again in September 2025 after a prior repair in 2020. Video inspection showed well screens in good condition but extensive corrosion on column shafts, couplings and other internal components; staff said motor reconditioning (not replacement) is required. Lane Christensen submitted the lowest bid; staff recommended adding a 10% contingency. Funding will come from the authority’s Well Rehabilitation Program: the project would use $204,220 (including contingency) from a program balance of approximately $993,531 after accounting for other recent repairs.

A motion to approve Option 1 (authorize task order and budget transfer) passed unanimously on roll call. Staff will proceed with rehabilitation, mobilization and startup testing and return results to the board as the work progresses.
