SUMMARY:  FO-09 Shallow, a coastal monitoring well in the Seaside Basin, has recently been identified as compromised due to a failure of the well casing that is allowing saltier water from the shallow zone to mix with groundwater in the Paso Robles Aquifer.  Monterey County Health Department has identified this as cross-contamination between aquifer zones and has agreed on a destruction plan for FO-09 Shallow that will stop the cross-contamination of the Paso Robles Aquifer and preserve FO-09 Deep.  The District completed a sealed solicitation for public bids to complete this work and Maggiora Brothers was identified as the sole bidder.  With permission from the Board, District staff will award the bid and contract to Maggiora Brothers.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Administrative Committee recommends that the Board authorize the General Manager to contract with Maggiora Brothers in the amount not to exceed $25,000 to destroy FO-09 Shallow.

 

BACKGROUND:   On 7/12/21 District opened a public bid for the destruction work.  The bid closed on 8/11/21 with the District receiving one bid from Maggiora Brothers for the amount not to exceed $25,000 as a lump sum to complete the work to destroy FO-09 Shallow.  This work was not expected and was not budgeted when preparing the FY 2021-2022 budget.  The cost incurred to destroy FO-09 Shallow will be added to the Hydrologic Monitoring line during the mid-year budget adjustment in January, 2022.
