To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Craig Bilezerian, Public Works Director
By: Andrew Darlak, Water Operations Manager | [email protected] Subject: Public Works – Authorize Purchase Order for Emergency Repairs at the North Torrance Well Field Facility. Expenditure: Not-to-Exceed $373,084.24 (Non-General Fund).
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Public Works Director that City Council authorize a purchase order with DXP Enterprises of Anaheim, CA, for an amount not-to-exceed $373,084.24, to perform emergency pump and motor repairs on Well #10 at the North Torrance Well Field Facility (NTWF).
FUNDING
Funding is available in the fiscal year 2025-26 Water Enterprise Fund operating budget.
DISCUSSION
On November 3, 2025, Water Operations discovered that the motor for Well #10, located at the NTWF behind Yukon Elementary School, had failed and was emitting smoke from the internal components. Staff immediately contacted DXP Enterprises, the City’s contractor for pump and motor repair and maintenance, to assess the situation. DXP Enterprises responded onsite at approximately noon and determined that the motor would need to be removed and transported to their shop for further inspection.
Following further evaluation, DXP Enterprises concluded that the entire Well #10 assembly, including the pump, required removal and comprehensive repair.
Well #10 produced an average of 220 acre-feet of water per month in calendar year 2025. Based on an estimated savings of $500 per acre-foot when compared to purchasing imported water, this production level represents approximately $110,000 per month of savings of water costs. In addition, due to water quality blending requirements, Well #11 cannot operate independently without Well #10, resulting in an additional 100 acre-feet per month of production dependency, or approximately $50,000 per month of savings of water costs. 1 City Council

On December 2, 2025, Water Operations received DXP Enterprises’ inspection report outlining the scope of required repairs. On December 8, 2025, the City Manager authorized (Attachment 1) the use of DXP Enterprises on an emergency basis to perform the necessary repair work.
The Public Works Department received the final three invoices (Attachment 2) in the amount of $282,974.18, $20,472.50, and $69,637.56, respectively, and recommends that the City Council approve an appropriation of $373,084.24 from the Water Enterprise Fund balance to pay DXP Enterprises for emergency repair work performed on Well #10 at the NTWF.
