Executive Summary: The district has received a grant for additional water supplies for the Spring Valley and North Lakeport water systems. The funding is to install three wells, one in Spring Valley and two in North Lakeport. A test well must be drilled to ensure adequate water is found for each location and to ensure that it meets state requirements related to water quality. We have solicited quotes from five well drillers to complete the test wells. All three test wells were bid at the same time but as separate projects. Only two contractors showed up to the mandatory pre-bid/walk on February 18, 2025. The contractors had the option to bid on one, two or all three locations. Both reviewed the possible well sites and submitted bids for all three wells. After completing the bid analysis and including required add-ons to the bids, the engineers provided a bid summary.
