Approve and authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 with Excalibur Well Services, Corp; approve additional funding and appropriation of funds for the Civic Center Oil Well Abandonment Project
body
Statement of Issue:
The City of Huntington Beach Fire Department (HBFD) and the Public Works Department have been working with Walker Engineering, Inc on the abandonment of oil wells at the Civic Center and is requesting an additional $1,150,000 to complete the Project. During the abandonment of Civic Center #2, the abandonment contractor (Excalibur Well Services, Corp.) discovered that the down-hole conditions did not match Cal-GEM's as-built records for the well. The limited well file led to multiple delays in the project and the need to increase Excalibur's scope to ensure the oil well was abandoned per Cal-GEM standards. As of September 24, 2024, the cost to abandon Civic Center #2 is $1,155,774.16 and HBFD anticipates that similar conditions exist in both Civic Center #1 and #3. In anticipation of the increased scope of work, HBFD is requesting an additional $1,150,000 in funding to complete the abandonment project and amend the Excalibur Well Services, Corp agreement.
Financial Impact:
Staff is requesting an appropriation of $1,150,000 in HB Recovery Funds to business unit 31465001.82800 to cover the remaining estimated costs of the project.
