Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO PERFORM EMERGENCY TO REMOVE,
INSPECT AND VIDEO THE PUMPING AND BOOSTER EQUIPMENT OF WATER PRODUCTION WELL N0.14
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 2-5.13 Emergency purchase, authorize the City Manager, Public Works Director and Finance Director to proceed without solicitation of bids to a contract for the removal, inspection and videoing of the pumping and booster equipment at Water Production Well No. 14;
2. Authorize the payment to General Pump Co. for the services necessary to perform the work for a not-to-exceed amount of $28,845 payable from Account No. 681- 8030-461.43-30; and

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
As a water well ages, the rate at which water may be pumped ( commonly referred to as the well yield, flow or performance) tends to decrease, especially in wells that have had deferred maintenance. Water wells require regular maintenance to ensure adequate water flow and continued drinking water safety. Delaying rehabilitation procedures can significantly increase costs and in some cases make rehabilitation impossible.
Water production Well No. 14 located at 6219 Bissell Street requires staff to address two immediate concerns. Attached are proposals from General Pump that were requested to address existing issues with the well and booster. Included in the proposals are the inspection reports. The well requires additional extensive investigation to determine and troubleshoot the concerns. Booster 14 is a more pressing issue that requires immediate attention. Please note that these proposals are to pull and inspect the existing pumps.
Once the pump is further diagnosed in General Pump's shop, an additional proposal will
