7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The proposed Well No. 27 is located at 140 S. Jameson Street, adjacent to the Water Division
parking lot. The site was part of the former OCFA site. The easterly third of the former OCFA
warehouse was demolished to prepare for the construction of the well. Well 27 will replace
existing wells 4, 5 and 14 located on the Water Division site. These existing wells have reached
the end of their useful life and are failing.
The scope of work for this phase of the well project includes the demolition of existing Well 14,
drilling and installation of approximately 950 feet of 20" Stainless Steel Casing and Louver,
installation of all accessory tubing, gravel pack, sanitary seal, conduct test pumping, final well
development, and disinfection. The drilling operations for the project will last approximately
30 days and require some 24 -hour operational working periods. Prior to the project starting,
staff will conduct outreach to the neighborhood that could be affected by the construction. While
the contractor will install a 24 foot high sound attenuation walls around the project site for the
duration of the project, staff will closely monitor all work and sound generation emanating from
the project. The engineering cost estimate for this project is $1,202,000.00. Construction is
anticipated to begin in April 2014 and to be completed within 180 calendar days.
With the successful completion of this phase of the well project, staff will then bring forward,
under separate bid, a contract for the second and final phase of the well project that will consist
of the construction of all above ground pipeing and equipment that will be needed to complete
the well project in its entirety. It is anticipated that this portion of the project will come back to
City Council late 2014 or early 2015.
The Well No. 27 project was previously approved by the City Council on February 9, 2010 as
part of the larger "Water Warehouse Renovation and Well 27 Construction" project. At that
same time, Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) 1816 -09 was approved in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed Drilling of Well 27 was
adequately described and analyzed in the previously approved MND. As such, nothing further is
warranted for CEQA compliance. Mitigation measures identified in previously approved MND
1816 -09 have been incorporated into project plans and specifications and will be implemented
during construction.
