Staff: Contractor ready but waiting on payment; drilling schedule to be updated
Summary
A staff member said BK Drilling was prepared to order equipment for Country Lane Well No. 3 but had not started because it was awaiting a mailed check; staff will contact the contractor and provide an updated Gantt chart. The existing well is slated to be plugged before new drilling.
A staff member provided a status update on Country Lane Well No. 3, saying the city had worked through contracts and the bid from Bee Cave Drilling and had followed up with BK Drilling. "When I visited with mister Greg Seflich, who's the my main contact at BKs Drilling, they were ready to pull the trigger on, order the frac tank and the pumps and that that will be precursor to drilling the project," the staff member said, adding the contractor was waiting on routing/payment information from the city.
Participants confirmed a payment had been mailed and that the mayor had signed the check, but the contractor had not yet acted because it had not received the funds. The staff member said he would call the contractor and update the Gantt chart as soon as a firm schedule was available. The group discussed timing: the staff member said plugging the existing well was tentatively scheduled for the week and that the plugging operation "should not exceed 2 days, 2 working days, 2 8 hour days," providing residents a timeframe for potential noise or activity.
The Chair and committee members pressed for an updated schedule and asked staff to circulate the Gantt chart once BK Drilling confirms receipt of payment and mobilization timing. No new contracts were formally approved during the meeting.
