ORDINANCE NO. 713 FOR -THE CONTRACTING AND EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR THE REPAIR
OF WELL #8 IN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
John Flora, Public Works Director, explained .to the Council .that .a-pipe.had
broken in Well #8, and the pump had fallen.145' to the bottom of .the well and
gotten lodged in the rock. They had a difficult time removing the pump, and
now the pump would have to be rebuilt with all pipes and control rods being
replaced.
Me. Flora explained that the City had negotiated with Layne Minnesota -for the
repair. of the well,' -as they.were 'the low: bidder on the repair of.Wel-1 No. 12
which they were presently working on, and they will do the work at the same
Price for Well No. 8. He explained they have already spent $10;000 to get 'the
pump out, and at, this time, do not know what the. final . cos t will be. -
Councilman Schneider asked if the $25,000 mentioned in the ordinance would be
adequate, or if that was playing it too close. The Council felt that the
ordinance should be changed to "not to exceed $30,000"., to make sure the costs
could be covered.
The City Manager explained. that this was being done with .an Emergency Ordinance
to meet the high demand for water in the summer. He said that in a normal
situation, this would -not be necessary.

of Well No. 8 on a negotiated basis without advertising for bids, not to exceed
$30,000. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, al.l voting aye,
