The contractor, Derrick's Well Drilling & Pump Services, LLC, has requested a contract time
extension of 216 calendar days (see attached request letter from the contractor). The
Department requested that the motor, originally intended for this well repair, be used at a higher
priority well repair (Hualalai Deepwell Repair). This directive caused a delay in the
completion of the work, as a replacement motor had to be procured.

C. NORTH KONA MID -ELEVATION SOURCE DEVELOPMENT - PHASE 1:
The State Department of Land and Natural Resources has cased and tested a deep monitor well
at the mid -elevation location (between Mdmalahoa Highway and Queen Ka`ahumanu
Highway) and results were favorable as to the possibility of the confined aquifer being a
sustainable, high-quality potable source for the North Kona water system. It could be of great
benefit to the North Kona water system should the mid -elevation confined aquifer be a viable
source. The mid -elevation, high-quality water would be the primary source for the lower
elevation areas for the system and the high -elevation, high-level wells could then be downsized
or utilized as a back-up system. The proposed CIP project would be for Planning,
Environmental Study, Well Construction Permit as outlined in the proposed Water Use and
Development Plan Update, Site Selection, Exploratory Drilling, Pump Test, and Land
Acquisition.
Land Acquisition will only occur if the pump test results are favorable and at which time the
determination to move ahead with Phase 2 of the project will also be made.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the proposed DWS CIP
project. The rough estimate for the project including consultant fees and land acquisition is
$1,500,000.00.

B. JOB NO. 2017-1061, POWER SYSTEM STUDY —AMENDMENT NO. 2:
The consultant, Brown and Caldwell, has submitted a proposal to provide additional services
required to address the assessment of the well failures as provided for in Amendment No. 1 that
included electrical and power analysis for Hualalai, Honok6hau, Keauhoulu, and Keopu
Deepwells. During the many discussions and analyses of the wells and supporting information,
it was deemed that there are mechanical issues that should also be addressed to get a better idea
of the failures. Also during the discussions, it was clear that the Department's goal is to obtain
the most appropriate equipment given the occurrences in the past. The proposal, therefore,
includes review and recommendations for well repair specifications for the high-level wells in
Amendment No. 1 as well as a summary of recommendations (mechanical and electrical) for
Wai`aha, Palani, and Kalaoa Wells. Finally, additional electrical engineering services for
overdutied equipment that can no longer be replaced in kind for 11 sites that resulted from the
original contract work.
Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds that the $311,052.00 is acceptable. If approved the
revised contract amount will be:
