FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER.14, 1995
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT WITH LUHDORFF AND SCALMANINI FOR DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION-ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR REPLACEMENT OF WATER WELL
1B, DISCOVER BAY AREA. Project No. 7393-6X9E89
Specific Request(s)or Recommendation(s)&Background&Justification
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute a contract with Luhdorff and
Scalmanini for design and construction engineering services for replacement of Water Well No. lb,
Discovery Bay area.
II. Financial Impact:
There will be no impact to the County General Fund. The cost of the well, up to $475,000 will be funded
by Centex Homes, however, Centex Homes will have no obligation beyond $475,000. Sanitation District
No. 19 funds will have to be used to cover any overage in costs or the construction of a second well if the
new well becomes contaminated or yields an insufficient amount of water.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Water Well No. la has been deteriorating for many years and its failure could occur at any time. For that
reason time is of the essence to approve the contract with Luhdorff and Scalmanini. This contract is,for
design and engineering services for the replacement of Water Well No. la with Water Well No. lb.(
Water Well No. 5 was just taken out of service because of poor water quality due to sand infiltration and
will be down for an undetermined period of time. This places Water Well No. la in the precarious
position of being the primary back-up well for peak demand and emergency water flow for fire protection.

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Continued)
The Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 2 to the Centex Agreement on November 7, 1995,
authorizing the funding for Water Well lb. This Board action enables the District to fund the new well
and to proceed with design and bid preparation for the construction for Water Well lb.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Without Board approval the contract for design and construction engineering cannot proceed for the
replacement of critically needed water well facilities.
