Call to Order.
The meeting was opened by Mayor Stephen H. DonCarlos with a quorum present at 4:00 p.m.
Consider Proposed Ordinance No. 060612-1, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate
and execute an agreement with Alsay Incorporated for the Park Street water well repair
project.
City Manager Jackson explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the City Manager to
negotiate and execute an agreement with Alsay Incorporated for the Park Street water well repair
project at a cost not to exceed $200,000. The City maintains four water wells as a back up to our
BAWA water supply. The Park Street well is currently out of service due to a failure of the
casing and screen. The constant threat of a hurricane or tropical storm this time of year requires
immediate repair of this well to ensure adequate backup supplies. Mr. Jackson explained that the
estimate was based on an investigative study performed by Alsay Incorporated and may vary
above or below the quoted $151,192.00 due to variations in depth and “jetting” time. The
project is funded by 2006 Utility Fund Certificates of Obligation.
After the explanation, Mr. Jackson fielded a few questions from Council concerning the
proposed repairs and the funding for same and with no further discussion Council Member
Sammy Mahan moved to approve Ordinance No. 060612-1 as presented. Council Member
Capetillo seconded the motion. The vote follows:
