PROJECT # 88-58 SCOPE: This contract change order #1 involves the test drilling of up to three test holes at Spartan Meadows Golf Course. The firm operating under the contract to the City of Elgin for drilling of the above project is Wehling Well Works , Inc. P.O. Box 488 Beecher, Illinois 60401 Phone 946-2244 . REASON FOR CHANGE: The contract change order is required to find water at a different site to supply 150 gallons per minute which is needed to fill irrigation pond on front nine. Each hole will be drilled not to exceed the 300 foot level. Wehling Well has the expertise to complete this project. The attached correspondence explains the recommendation. SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN CONTRACT AMOUNT: The amount of the contract will be revised as follows: ITEM ADD The test hole drilling will not exceed three (3) holes . Each hole will not exceed $5 ,400 . The drilling of each hole will stop at the level that produces the 150 gallons per minute as required. NOT TO EXCEED $16 ,200 The present contract with Wehling Works , Inc . is for $30 , 296 . The actual cost of the drilling the dry well was $23 ,796 . By reason of this change order #1 the contract for the test hole drilling will be increased up to the amount of $16 ,200 with the potential total contract value being $39 , 996 . OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS : All other contract provisions shall remain the same . Agreed to this 1 t{' day of J (2 1989 .

Cook, City Manager SUBJECT: Spartan Meadows Golf Course Well Contract Change Order #1 PURPOSE: To provide the Mayor and City Council with information for a request to consider subject change order #1. BACKGROUND: The City Council, on July 13 , 1988 , approved a contract with Wehling Well Works , Inc. to drill a well at the Spartan Meadows Golf Course near the maintenance building. This well was anticipated to produce a minimum of 150 gallons of water per minute for the filling of the pond which, in turn, would irrigate the front 9 holes . The initial site was chosen because of prior echo tests provided by the County and the State . After drilling 300 feet, the well only produced 20 gallons per/min. The staff had determined through experience and a number of investigations with surrounding golf courses that the minimum water production required should be 150 gallons per/min. ; therefore , this well is officially considered a dry well . Since the well is needed to irrigate the front 9 holes , the strategy is to drill one or two test holes 200 yards south of the present dry hole. It is estimated that moving in this direction the chances will be improved to hit an adequate water supply. The test holes will check for water at different levels and will stop when adequate water supply is tapped; otherwise , each hole will be drilled to 300 feet but no further. The documents attached provide general background information that assisted in the staff ' s decision to follow the above ^rocedure . The original awarded contract was in the amount of $30 , 296 ($6 , 500 of of this amount being set aside for purchase of the pump) . The cost of drilling the dry well was $23 ,796 . The pump will still be required for the new well and we have been informed of a price increase . As the attached correspondence reflects, the staff feels that the most appropriate consideration is to test drill. The most expedient manner is to follow the procedure of a change order with the present contracted firm of Wehling Well Works , Inc. Mr Wehling' s correspondence of April 5 , 1989 provides two (2) alternatives and the staff recommends the 1st: to drill a 5" wide test well with a mud and air rotary at an approximate cost up to $5 , 400 per test drilling and not to surpass 3 test drillings ($16 , 200) . • The money to fund this project is available in the Golf Capital Budget line item 981 - 9940 creek dredging ($18 , 320 under budgeted estimate) . FINANCIAL IMPACT: The change order #1 is estimated to cost between $5,400 - $16 , 200. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve this order #1 to Wehling Well Works , Inc. not to exceed the amount of $16 , 200, for test drilling at Spartan Meadows Golf Course.

Deibert, Director of Water Operations - DATE: February 24, 1989 SUBJECT: ALTERNATIVES TO WATER WELL PROBLEMS At a meeting on February 20, Jack Hughes shared with Kurt Eshelman and myself the latest proposals from Wheeling Well Works, Inc. , concerning the water well problem you are experiencing on Spartan Meadows Golf Course. It is the opinion of the Water Department that your purposes and long-term operational cc to would be better served by developing a shallow well rather than continuing to drill the existing hole and creating a deep well system. However, we strongly advise that a test h7 .e t,e drilled in any proposed future site so that you are assured any new well will develop the desired quantity of water. Drilling a small diameter test hole is recommended over seismographic testing. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free t contact Kurt Eshelman or myself.

WATER WELL PROBLEMS 312 ES1-6294 Res.Phones W.E.WEHLING Dear Jack : 312 946-2192 12G 3129462/64 The first alternative woL': p ld 'be to drill the well deeper . 39/6 The cost would be $1800 .00 for mobilization , drilling RESIDENTIAL would be $34 . 00 per foot . The drilling could stop at AGRICULTURAL any depth in the dolomite when sufficient water is found COMMERCIAL or continue to the St . Peter Sandstone . The top of the MUNICIPAL St . Peter Sandstone is approximately 600 feet deep and INDUSTRIAL if it were penetrated 150 feet this would make the total depth of the well approximately 750 feet . I would think we would have to go into the St . Peter this far or to the bottom of it estimated at 800 feet , because the top of the MEMBERS: sandstone (called the GlevIwood) is sometimes hard and JWWA does not give up water like the softer sand from 700-800 feet . NWWA The other alternative is to drill a new well 300 ft . deep owI at a new location . The cost of a new well would be AWWA approximately $22 , 720 . 00 for drilling and test pumping . If an acid job is required , add $2 , 000 . 00 . Cost of the IWDCA permanent pump is $6 , 500 . 00 GWC As for my advising you of the best chance or which alternative to take , its hard to say , but I would think SHALLOW WELLS drilling deeper is not as good a gamble as drilling a new WATER SYSTEMS hole , unless of course you figure on drilling deeper to DEEP WELLS the sandstone level (750-800) . We have hit large quantities TURBINE PUMPS of water in the dolomite above the St .
