JOB NO. 2000 -758, CONSTRUCTION OF THE WAIOHINU WELL DEVELOPMENT — PHASE 1: (Please refer to the attached copy of the Tom Nance Water Resource Engineering Memorandum dated May 7, 2008.) Based on the results of the April 28 to May 2, 2008, pump test of the Waiohinu Well, Tom Nance Water Resource Engineering (TNWRE) has recommended additional drilling and testing of the well to better determine the potential sustainable -yield of the well. Toward that end, TNWRE recommends the Department of Water Supply gather additional information by drilling 300 feet of open hole and by performing a subsequent 96 -hour long pump test. The estimated costs to complete the additional drilling and testing are: Drill 300 feet of open hole = $ 60,000.00 Set up pump for Pump Test = 25,000.00 96 -Hour Pump Test = 28,800.00 Contingency for additional pump testing and for subsequent work if needed = 36,200.00 Total X150,000.00 The available construction contingency is $62,160.00. We will need to allocate $87,840.00, or say $90,000.00, to make up the shortage of available construction contingency funds. This is the second request to increase funding for this project construction and testing of the well. The first funding Page 3 of 10 5- 27- 08— Agenda(waimea).doc increase was in the amount of $106,970.00 for the revised quantities and related costs (approved by Water Board on March 25, 2008). This funding increase = $90,000.00. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve an additional $90,000.00 for JOB NO. 2000 -758, CONSTRUCTION OF THE WAIOHINU WELL DEVELOPMENT — PHASE 1, and that the either the Chairperson or the Vice - Chairperson be authorized to execute the appropriate Contract Change Order. 9) MISCELLANEOUS: A.
