A RESOLUTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO MEYERS
LLC TO PERFORM THE DRILLING AND INSTALLATION OF WATER QUALITY
WELLS FOR THE SELENIUM REDUCTION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is a resolution awarding a construction contract to Meyers LLC to perform the drilling
and installation of water quality wells for the selenium reduction project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None
BACKGROUND
:
The Wastewater Department is responding to concerns from the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency about the level of selenium in
the effluent discharged from the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility to Segment 1a of
the Lower Arkansas River. As part of the project, the Wastewater Department will be monitoring
ground water levels through these water quality wells and correlating the levels with the flows
found in the sanitary sewer system. The ground water from these water quality wells will also be
sampled and analyzed in the areas surrounding and downstream of the sanitary sewer lining
projects.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
Actual costs will be based on the depth of the wells drilled and installed. These depths are cannot
be determined accurately in advance. Bids were accepted based on unit prices per vertical foot
for drilling, casement and screening, and well logs. Static costs per drilling site were provided for
mobilization and traffic control. Based on bid prices and an estimated depth of 40 feet per well,
the cost is expected to be approximately $3,000 per well. It is expected that more monitoring
wells will be added as the selenium source control project proceeds. The final number of
monitoring wells is not known at this time. Final costs will be provided as more specific information
becomes available.
Funds for this project have been established through Project WW1503 Selenium Reduction
Project.
