RE; CITY WELL NO.16
Bidding Results & Comments
On August 12, 1994 we opened bids for drilling of this well. We
received a bid from Pete Cope Drilling Co., Inc. and Riverside,
Inc. The bid results are attached to this memorandum for your
review.
The bid tabulations have been arithmetically checked and the
apparent low bidder is Pete Cope Drilling Co., Inc.
Recently Mr. Cope lost a number of his drilling employees for one
reason or another and the qualifications of the remaining employees
to manage the reverse -rotary drill rig is very suspect.
Our Hydrogeologist is very concerned that the driller assigned to
this project by Mr. Cope is not qualified, based on his personal
experience with the individual on other drilling jobs, and on that
basis he is predicting that we will experience problems that we
really don't need.
Our Hydrogeologist believes that Riverside, Inc. has submitted a
competitive bid, based on a recent bid they made to Island City,
Oregon to drill a 500 foot well ($177,000.), which they were
awarded. On this basis he recommends that the project be awarded
to Riverside, Inc. because he believes the driller Mr. Cope has
assigned to this project is not qualified to operate a reverse -
rotary drill rig.
