vices Department ln the total amount of $22,978.00,lncluding ap-

1ng un1ts in accordance wlth C1ty speciflcatlons, bids were

to allow use of the water for domest~c supply. The untreated
water cannot be waste pumped to the storm drain system.
Staff cannot predict the results of thlS test period pumplng but
antlclpate that the results w~ll enable a dec~sion to be reached
on the type and scale of mitlgat~on requ~red for permanent well
operat~on.
The cost of the water from thlS temporary system w11l be $245 per
acre foot, WhlCh is $20 per acre foot more than lmported MWD
water (total additlonal cost =$2,474). The staff believes the
lnformation obtalned In thlS short test Justifles the additlonal
cost.
Budgetary/FlnanClal Impact
Staff lS recommendlng that the scope of the cap~tal proJect rep-
resented by the F~scal Year 1985/86 appropriat~on authority ln
the Sewer and Water Category of the Capltal Program budget, "Air
Stripping Tower" proJect, account number 25-760-671-000-922 be
expanded to lnclude this unantlclpated need.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the scope of the cap1ta1 proJect at ac-
count number 25-760-671-000-922 be expanded and that the award of
Bld #2040 be made to Arrowhead Industrlal Water, Inc. 1n the to-
tal amount of $22,978.00 lnc1udlng tax, as the lowest and best
bidder.
