SUBJECT Replacement Well at Byron Boys ' Ranch, Byron
Budget No. 4413-4277 ( 0928-WH277B)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION:
FIND that the declaration of emergency and authorization
granted to the Director of General Services on June 23 , 1987 is
still valid.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Estimates of the cost of a new well are in the range of $40 ,000
to $60,000. It . will be necessary to appropriate funds for the
project.
'III . BACKGROUND/REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
On June 23 , 1987, the Board found that an emergency existed,
authorized the Director of General Services to 'proceed in the
most expeditious manner, pursuant to Section 20134 of the Public
Contract Code, to develop a new well at the Byron Boys ' Ranch,
Byron, and declared that the project;' as an emergency, was not
subject to the provisions of the California Environmental.
Quality Act.
In an attempt to forestall the need to develop a new well,
repairs to the existing well were made during the Summer and
Fall of 1987. These repairs succeeded in enabling continued use
of the well to this. time. Recently, however, infiltration of
sand and silt into the well increased dramatically and reduced
water production to the point where severe rationing had to be
effected and water had to be. brought to the site by truck. The
well has been cleaned and is again producing water adequate for
the needs of the site; however, expert assessment is that this
will -provide temporary relief only, as the well is failing and a
new well needs to be developed as soon .as possible.
IV. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If a new well is not developed in the very near future, failure
of the existing well will require trucking of water to the site
at considerable expense and there will be a lack of sufficient
water for adequate fire protection. ��,,JJ•• ////////////����.���
