Board approves $32,122 deposit to replace failed Well No. 6
Summary
Public works staff recommended full replacement of Well No. 6 after pump failure and corroded casing; the board approved a 50% deposit of $32,122 to Brown/Adams Well Drilling and authorized the public works director to complete the project (amount not to exceed $64,244).
Public works staff reported a pump failure and pitted/corroded casing at Well No. 6 and recommended replacing the entire well assembly — including new casing, wiring and a replacement pump — to avoid a higher-cost failure later.
"So right now, the recommendation we have is, is to replace that entire well, 64,000, $244," the presenter said, explaining the estimate and the rationale for replacing the downpipe while crews are mobilized. The staff recommendation called for a 50% deposit of $32,122 with final payment on completion and named Brown Well Drilling (with Adams Well Drilling participating in the transition) as the contractor on the quote.
Clerk Trowview moved to approve the deposit and the repair; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no opposition. The motion authorized the public works director to act on behalf of the township for completion of the project for an amount not to exceed $64,244.
