Title
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE VADOSE INJECTION WELL PROJECT
body
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the $1,879,136 GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) Construction contract with Archer Western Construction, LLC for the construction of the Vadose Zone Injection Well Project and approve a budget transfer in the amount of $300,000 to the FY17 budget to expend the WaterSmart Grant award from the Bureau of Reclamation.
PURPOSE:
When the city identified its Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) site as the city’s future City Center, an alternative recharge system was needed to allow the city to benefit from its reclaimed water supplies. Recharging reclaimed water within the city enhances its water resources portfolio by accruing long term storage credits and/or offset annual pumping. Reclaimed water is one of the cornerstones of the city’s designation of assured water supplies that makes the city more drought-proof, and allow for the indirect potable reuse of reclaimed water.
