San Bruno City Council Meeting
December 11, 2012
10e. Well 15 Replacement Project
B
Honorable
mayor
council,
member
good
evening,
I
have
here
with
me
wink
wonk,
who
is
the
project
manager
for
this
valley
replacement
project
and
also
more
green
heart
at
the
water
resource?
What
a
resource
manager
who
led
the
effort
forth
for
the
prior
two
phases
of
this
project
for
with
eitan
pump
assessment
of
the
condition
of
the
palm,
and
also
the
site
assessment
and
the
site
analysis
for
this
project.
I
will
I
will
summarize
Phi
D
why
this
project
is
important?
What
is
the
project
and
what
the
financial
consequences
of
the
project
is?
B
B
B
Allocation
from
the
surface
water
through
a
cpu
sees
contract
for
a
3.2
MGD.
I
will
use
MTD
from
now
on,
which
really
means
minion
gallon
per
day.
If
the
city
will
enter
in
in
the
agreement
with
SFPUC
for
the
groundwater
storage
and
recovery
project,
then
the
city
has
to
have
the
capability
to
produce
at
least
to
put
2.1
MGD.
B
Historically,
the
city
maintained
a
reliable,
flexible
redundant
system
producing
about
health
of
our
need
versus
purchasing
health
of
the
other.
40
need
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
sustain
a
production
level
is
very
important
for
us
to
maintain
our
production
infrastructures
infrastructure
for
production.
The
city
had
five
wells.
B
The
Commodore
Val
called
well
15
was
the
oldest
well
in
the
city,
build
in
80
for
the
production
of
this
valve
started
to
decrease
and
reached
a
point
back
in
2010,
then
that
the
well
was
decommissioned
and
a
the
services
of
Eaton
pump
was
retained
to
address
to
assess
the
cost
benefit
analysis
of
rehabilitation
of
the
world
versus
replacement
of
the
valve.
The
conclusion
of
the
assessment
was
that
the
expected
production
rate
after
the
rehabilitation
will
be
low
versus
the
investment
cost.
There
was
no
call
wasn't
cost-effective
to
rehabilitate
the
well.
B
The
recommendation
was
to
replace
the
valve.
Subsequently,
the
services
of
our
groundwater
management
expert
consultant
was
retained
to
develop
a
site
assessment
having
the
best
understanding
and
knowledge
developing
our
groundwater
management
plan
of
the
Hedra
geology
of
the
basin
grandfather
Basin
itself
and
to
make
recommendation
what
would
be
the
best
site
for
replacing
the
valve.
They
analyzed
sex
different
sites,
and
you
have
a
very
detailed
staff
report
and
all
of
those
sites
are
described
in
this
in
the
staff
report.
B
The
reason
for
recommending
those
two
sides
was
based
on
the
combination
of
different
criteria,
mainly
the
expected
production
level,
water,
quantity
and
also
the
expected
water
quality
at
those
sides
and
including
including
the
land-use
around
those
two
sides
and
the
degree
of
impact
on
the
surrounding
environment.
Of
those
to
add
those
two
location.
B
The
recommended
plan
for
this
project
is
to
alter
the
design
of
the
two
tests
well
to
drill
the
two
tests
well
to
analyze.
The
information
from
these
two
tests
was
about
the
water,
the
production,
the
expected
production
level,
the
water
quality
at
those
two
sides
based
on
that
information,
then
to
design
and
then
to
drill
the
production
valve
and
then
to
design
and
then
build
the
wellhead
facilities.
B
They
will
design
yin
supporters
during
the
development
design
and
the
implementation
of
the
two
test
wells.
Then
they
will
make
the
interpretation
of
the
information
and
the
result
of
the
test
well
developed
the
documentation
and
the
B
document
for
the
production.
Well,
they
are
providing
field,
support
and
constructions
of
support
for
for
the
grilling
of
the
production
well
and
the
devil,
design
and
develop
the
B
document
for
the
wellhead
facilities.
B
The
total
cost
estimate
for
this
project
is
3.2
million,
all
of
those,
including
the
design
step
time
and
the
construction
for
this
project.
Based
on
our
assessment,
this
investment
would
be
returned
in
era
about
five
years,
also
to
test
the
financial
consequences
of
the
policy
alternatives
for
difference
level
of.
B
B
B
B
This
project
was
estimated
with
the
3.2
million
dollar
a
40,000
or
ad
was
pan
spent
on
this
project.
You
steal
a
available
930
thousand-dollar
appropriated
available
for
this
year,
which,
based
on
our
expectation,
will
be
enough
for
the
work
needed
to
be
done
this
year
and
as
part
of
this,
the
next
year,
CIP
budget
appropriation.
Additional
funding
will
be
requested,
as
included
already
in
our
CIP
project.
C
You
when,
when
we
get
these
design
requests,
I
always
try
to
figure
out
what
a
reasonable
estimate
is,
and
one
thing
I
I
try
to
look
at
is
the
design
cost
versus
the
construction
cost
to
see
if
it's
within
a
general
percentage
and
generally
I,
think
most
of
public
works
projects
come
in
right
around
twenty
percent
of
construction,
so
that's
kind
of
a
a
guideline:
I
can
at
least
use
to
rationalize
some
of
these
numbers,
in
this
case
I
think
it's
around
thirty
percent.
So
to
me
it
was
like
okay.
C
Well,
this
is
kind
of
an
expensive
design
and
initially,
when
I
was
reading,
this
I
thought
that
it
included
some
of
the
tests
wells
actually
constructing
the
test
wells.
But
then,
in
your
breakdown,
you
show
that
that's
actually
part
of
the
two
million
dollar
request
and-
and
it
looks
like
this
project,
the
design
project
will
overlap
with
that
two
million
dollar
project,
and
so
the
design
includes
some
design
portions
that
work
that
are
actually
part
of
that
construction
or
that
at
least
the
timing.
C
These
things
are
going
to
overlap,
and
so
maybe
it's
a
little
different
in
that
perspective,
but
maybe
you
could
just
explain
a
little
bit
more
on
over
over
the
two
years.
What
we're,
what
we're
getting
for
our
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
what?
What
level
of
support
will?
We
should
expect?
How
many
how
many
people
will
be
on
the
team,
what
their
involvement
will
be
on
a
day-to-day
basis
just
to
try
to
help
me
rationalize
the
cost.
C
B
This
project
is
a
well
project,
is
more
a
interactive
type
of
project
than
any
other
typical
project
that
you
have
all
of
the
information,
and
then
you
are
using
that
information,
and
you
are
designing
the
project.
Then
you
are
building
the
project
here.
You
need
additional
information,
was
part
of
the
of
the
development
of
the
project
itself
that
you
really
need
additional
information
on
production
raids,
a
liar
from
her.
B
You
have
higher
production
rate,
water
quality
and
based
on
those
additional
information
during
the
project
development,
then
you
are
analyzing
those
additional
data
and
you
are
using
for
the
next
phase
implementation,
and
this
contract
includes
all
of
the
support.
What
the
Serie
will
need,
except
the
construction
of
the
wellhead
facility.
Everything
is
that
additional
estimate
using
cluded
in
the
total
cost,
but
it's
not
include
and
not
included
in
this
606
thousand
dollar.
B
B
One
of
the
key
reason
why
this
consultant
was
recommended
is
develop,
but
other
availability
of
one
of
the
best
well
experts
in
the
region
who
will
support
on
needed,
was
needed
basis.
The
development
of
the
project
also
is
a
very
strong
civil
design
team
who
will
provide
disability
engineering
design
for
the
project.
The
606
house
ined
include
obtaining
all
of
the
permits:
bizarre
beside
construction
management,
design,
support
and
design
services.
B
B
D
Well,
20,
in
the
light
field
that
was
control
construct
around
2003
and
as
I
can
recall,
the
total
cost
of
the
world
is
slightly
over
two
million
dollars
and
for
the
consultant
cause
the
in
those
initial
contract
was
two
hundred
thousand
and
later,
during
the
wellhead
facility
design,
phase
and
treatment
phase,
we
have
to
add
another
hundred
thousand
dollar
into
the
contract,
so
the
total,
I
would
say,
design
called
consulting
classes
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Ok,.
C
So
given,
given
that
figure,
what
is
there
anything
particular
about
this
particular
area
that
we're
considering
drilling
in
or
some
other
factors
that
would
really
justify?
Or
are
we
just
talking
about
doing
more
doing
better,
because
this
that's
pretty
much
half
of
what
we're
looking
at
right
now.
B
E
Was
just
whispering
into
the
mayor's
here,
I,
remember
the
development
of
the
crossings
and
that
we
we
did.
One
of
the
conditions
was
to
carve
out
a
little
area
for
you
know
for
a
future.
Well,
my
my
question
is
along
the
lines
of
my
colleague
here
is
that
since
Lyons
field
was
the
last
well
nearly
ten
years
ago
and
I,
remember
us
sitting
here
and
discussing
the
new
type
of
well
that
was
going
to
go
into
lions
field.
E
That
was
different
than
what
is
at
Cypress
at
City
Park,
where
as
well
design
come
now
in
10
years.
You
know,
and
obviously
the
construction
is
about
the
same,
but
now
the
consultant
cause
the
design
cause.
You
know
are
a
lot
higher,
I'm,
no
I'm
sure
they.
They
know
a
lot
more
and
they're,
studying
a
lot
more
and
hopefully
they'll
last
longer
and
produce
longer.
But
can
you
tell
us
lay
people?
What
is
what
is
the
new
new
and
improved
well
well
design?
Now
this.
B
E
What
I'd
like
to
know,
since
our
residents
are
going
to
be
footing
the
bill
for
this,
and
this
is
a
big
ticket
item
three
million
dollars?
What
is
their
assurances
that
this
is
a
good
investment
that
this
well
is
is?
Is
going
to
be
state-of-the-art
in
comparison
to
you
know
the
you
know
the
one
that
it's
replacing
and.
D
F
Gonna
be
similar
to
what
we
stopped
installed,
but
this
one's
not
gonna,
be
piecemealed
together,
like
it
was
before
it
was
designed
just
for
the
wellhead
at
that
time
and
wasn't
designed
for
the
filtration.
So
that's
included
in
the
design
and
also
the
construction
support
is
in
there,
which
wasn't
in
the
2003
design.
So
there's
a
lot
of
added
everything's
gonna
be
done,
I
think
at
a
higher
professional
level,
there
was
in
well
20.
We
had
a
lot
of
problems
during
construction
because
of
the
design.
F
D
The
time
it
takes
to
repair
life's
field
was
a
different
technology
with
it
is
called
the
turbine
pump
and
with
lines
feel
the
motor
sits
on
the
very
top
after
well.
So
if
we
something
with
the
break
with
the
motor,
you
can
dismantle
it
right
there
without
taking
the
entire
column
pipe,
which
is
about
600
feet,
one
section
at
the
time
to
put
the
bowl.
So
that
was
the
advantage,
and
at
that
time
years,
like
you,
is
a
more
advanced
state-of-the-art
because
of
also
the
skater
control
which
allow
remote
control
monitoring
of
the
equipment.
D
D
A
sect
in
a
room
to
house
a
standby
generator,
a
really
large
generator,
some
proof,
building
treatment,
designer
greens,
greens
and
treatment
to
remove
manganese
and
iron.
So
the
answer
your
question
years,
limes
field
is
a
much
more
advanced
well
than
15,
16,
17
and
18
and
I
believe
you
are
correct.
Mark
that
this
new
well,
the
15,
the
new
15
well
we'd
be
prototype
under
the
the
the
well
20
lines
feel
well
designed,
which
would
also
be
above
ground
turban
drive
phone.
F
Call
the
vertical
line
shaft
and
it's
in
its
it's
got
several
bearings
all
the
way
down
of
600
feet.
Well,
20,
and
it's
about
the
same
depth,
things
about
580,
well,
50,
oh
well,
15,
so
yeah!
You
can
easily
take
that
motor.
It's
off
a
shelf
motor,
replace
it
with
a
brand
new
one
where
submersibles,
probably
about
a
hundred
thousand
for
a
new
one,
opposed
to
you
know,
maybe
five
to
10
for
a
motor
that
sits
on
top
and,
like
I,
also
said,
they're
going
to
be
designing
for
the
green
Chan's
appropriately.
F
We
actually
took
the
old
the
filters
from
15
the
old
15
and
put
it
on
well
20
and
their
little
undersized.
So
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that's
all
done
properly
this
time
we
had
some
issues
last
time,
I
think
the
design
the
design
team
is
going
to
do
an
excellent
job.
That's
why
we
selected
them.
G
Know
Thank
You
little
sad
yeah
to
the
chair,
I'm,
just
going
to
echo
about
the
it's
already
been
talked
about
and
I
think
some
answers
have
been
given.
I
think
mark
alluded
to
some
additional
items
that
are
being
included
in
this
design
that
weren't
in
the
prior
liens
well.
I
have
heard
the
same
thing
so
I
appreciate
the
frankness
and
honesty
that
there
were
some
learning.
G
Curves
growing
pains
will
call
them
with
lines
well
and
so
I'm,
assuming
if
this
is
the
best
who's
available
and
all
of
those
good
things
that
I've
heard
here
tonight,
then
this
should
be
able
to
be
taken
care
of,
and
we
shouldn't
have
those
again
or
see
or
hear
or
have
contingency
issues
or
change
orders.
Since
we've
had
those
growing
pains
and
learning
experiences
with
that
kind
of
be
a
fair
assessment.
B
That's
a
solid
expectation
and
that's
how
was
made
the
recommendation
and
selecting
this
team
that
this
team
really
will
help
the
city
to
to
develop
a
well
with
a
top
of
the
line
with
maximum
production
level
possible
and
with
a
longer
life
cycle
also
than
our
prior
pairs.
I
would
add
one
other
advantage
having
to
test
wells
in
the
same
in
this
time
and
collecting
information
for
both
of
those
sides.
A
Just
like
to
clarify,
I
heard
the
council
never
asked,
or
it
suggests
that
the
well
construction
could
be
done
without
contingency
and
potentially
without
change
order.
I
would
say
that
that
is
not
what
staff
is
suggesting
in
proposing
that
a
thoughtful
design
process
will
get
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge
and
based
on
our
learning
from
the
experience
we
had
with
well
20
and
using
well
20
as
a
prototype
for
a
new
new
and
more
efficient
and
better
type
of
well
construction
that
we
do
anticipate
a
more.
A
G
C
Right
anything
else
through
the
chair,
michael,
I
had
one
last
question:
is
there
an
opportunity
that
we
could
look
at
at
using
some
sort
of
alternative
energy
associated
with
this?
Well
without
dramatically
impacting
the
construction
costs,
whether
at
the
solar
or
wind,
or
something
that
could
be
incorporated
into
this
project?.
B
11
of
the
recommendation
and
the
reason
why
this
team
was
chosen,
they
already
came,
came
with
energy-saving
recommendation
for
this
project
and
also
use
a
parallel
effort
for
us
to
look
at
alternative
energy
savings
and
energy
opportunity
for
out
of
our
sides
will
be
over
in
ten
to
make
sure
that
that
thinking
will
be
incorporated
in
our
design.
Perfect.
