Board accepted the single bid from Sam's Well Drilling for $247,140 to drill and test Well No. 7; trustees approved the resolution unanimously and staff said a permanent well project would follow pending test results and next year’s CIP funding.

The board considered Resolution 2026‑097 to accept the lowest qualified bid and award a contract to drill and test well No. 7. Public works staff reported a single responsive bid from Sam's Well Drilling for $247,140 and recommended awarding the test‑well contract.

Trustee Jim moved to approve the resolution, which was seconded and carried unanimously. Staff clarified that this contract covers a test well only; if test results are favorable the permanent new well would be included in the capital improvement plan for the next budget year and proceed as a separate procurement and construction item.
