LEGAL REVIEW:
DESCRIPTION:
Staff is recommending that the City contract with PGG to provide Water Resources Consulting Services and to
continued Hydrogeological service for well installation.
HISTORY:
The City of Arlington’s Airport Well was originally constructed in 1947. In 2009 the lower ½ of the well collapsed
and had to be abandoned, this resulted in a decrease in the well capacity. The City completed a study to
determine if it would be more feasible to increase capacity at the Haller Well or install a new well elsewhere
(Brown & Caldwell Apr‐2011). Based on that study, the City identified a project in the 2015 Water Comprehensive
Plan to permit and develop a new water source, this contract allows for this work to continue.
The first work effort of this project began in 2016, however was not completed and the contract was
terminated with the contractor (Brown & Caldwell) in 2018. Staff has budgeted again in 2019‐2020 to
continue the process of locating a secure water source and be able to permit two production wells. A request
for qualifications to three very respected water resource consultants was issued and, after reviewing the RFQ’s,
staff is recommending to negotiate and contract with Pacific Groundwater Group.
ALTERNATIVES:
‐ Remand to staff for further consideration
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Workshop; discussion only. At the February 19 council meeting, the recommended motion will be, “I move
to approve the selection of Pacific Groundwater Group for water resources consulting, and authorize the
Mayor to sign the consultant agreement for the project, pending final approval by the City Attorney.”
