White House council authorizes $159,398 Well 7 replacement and $54,000 permit renewal services
Loading...
Summary
Council approved a $159,397.70 contract with Russell Drilling Company to replace the pump and motor at Well 7 and authorized Task Order 16 with Half Associates for wastewater/stormwater permit renewal services ($54,000 plus up to $2,000 in direct expenses).
City utilities staff told the council that Well 7 is experiencing operational failures because its original pump and motor (installed in 2007) show age‑related wear and failing check valves. TJ Henderson recommended replacing the pump and motor rather than a rebuild because parts and labor made the rebuild more expensive than new equipment.
Council voted to award a contract to Russell Drilling Company Inc. in the amount of $159,397.70 to replace the pump and motor for Well 7. The council also approved Task Order 16 with Half Associates for $54,000 plus direct expenses not to exceed $2,000 to assist with renewal of the wastewater treatment plant discharge and the stormwater (MSGP) permits; staff said this year's work is a renewal and will not require lab testing, though the next five‑year renewal will.
Council members said they appreciated staff's attention to budgeting for future well work and noted the expense of pulling wells for inspection. The motions passed by voice vote.
