Subject:
Resolution No. 5695 Approving a Design and Construction Agreement Between Salt River Valley Water Users' Association and the City of Chandler for Well Drilling and Approving the Grant of a Well Site and Access Easements
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5695 approving a Design and Construction Agreement between Salt River Valley Water Users' Association and the City of Chandler for well drilling at Well Site 27.3E-01.5S and authorizing and approving the grant of a well site and access easements to Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District.
Background/Discussion:
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) Arizona Water Production Facility (AZ WPF), located at 350 E. Chilton Drive, was constructed in 1986 to allow the City to receive CAP water through the City of Mesa. Technical challenges existed with the water conveyance, and since there was no suitable water source for the CAP AZ WPF, it was taken out of service in 2013. In 2019, SRP approached the City with a proposal to drill a new well on this site that will be utilized for shared use with SRP under the existing Water Delivery Use Agreement. The new well will be mutually beneficial with first priority use to the City's water system or by discharging into the adjacent Western Canal for SRP.
The Design and Construction Agreement is for the drilling and installation of the new well at CAP AZ WPF. Water quality testing will be performed during the drilling operation to determine if the water meets the standards for the City's water distribution system. If the well is deemed suitable for use, a second agreement for well equipping will be brought forward for City Council consideration at a future meeting. The City is also granting a well site and access easement to SRP as part of this agreement.
A related Professional Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., for the CAP AZ WPF Site Improvements Design Services, is also scheduled for this City Council meeting.
Evaluation:
SRP will be self-performing the associated work. The City is required to reimburse SRP for all associated costs to put the re-drilled well back into service for shared use with the City. The cost of this work will not exceed $856,579.
