This Addendum 2 is issued to answer questions from bidders received on or before Friday, March 21, 2014 and
make other changes as documented herein. The revised Price Schedule included herein shall replace the Price
Schedule from the original bid sent to you on March 10, 2014. All other requirements, terms and conditions of
the original bid remain the same.
Questions and Answers:
1. Will you PLEASE consider removing the % of margin that the contractor can mark-up parts as well as the
purchase of new equipment?
All references to mark-up limits shall be stricken from the bid document, including the references on the
Price Schedule for each year of the contract. This affects the following items in the Specifications:
Page 18 of 43, Group A, Item 10: Miscellaneous Parts – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a percentage
(%) and shall not exceed 15%.”
Page 20 of 43, Group B, Item 4: Pump Parts and Materials – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a
percentage (%) and shall not exceed 15%.”
Page 20 of 43, Group B, Item 5: Line Shaft Replacement – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a percentage
(%) and shall not exceed 15%.”
Page 20 of 43, Group B, Item 6: Line Shaft Bearings – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a percentage (%)
and shall not exceed 15%.”
Page 20 of 43, Group B, Item 8: Bid Mark-ups – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a percentage (%). Any
mark-up shall not exceed 20%.”
Page 22 of 43, Group C, Item 8: Motor Parts and Materials – “Mark-up shall be expressed as a
percentage (%). Any mark-up shall not exceed 20%.”
Page 23 of 43, Group D, Item 1: Well Pumps – “The total cost is the estimated annual cost plus
Contractor’s mark-up. The mark-up shall not exceed 20%.”
Page 24 of 43, Group D, Item 2: Well Motors – “The total cost is the estimated annual cost plus
Contractor’s mark-up. The mark-up shall not exceed 20%.”
Page 25 of 43, Group D, Item 3: Column Pipe, Discharge Head, and other Components – “The total cost
is the estimated annual cost plus Contractor’s mark-up. The mark-up shall not exceed 20%.”
2. Page 11 of 43, item 13, 2: Statement that bidder is a licensed master water well pump installer by the State
of Texas. Master license includes Wind Mill certification. We would request that this statement be revised
to indicate "licensed water well pump installer". Since we do not service wind mills we do not require our
pump installers obtain that certification.
Revise statement to “licensed water well pump installer” as suggested.
3. Page 15 of 43, item G,5 & 8: (G,5) states that submersible motor repairs are to be completed within 30 days
(item 6 does give some relief) however, item 8 requires that any new or repaired submersible motor shall be
tested with either a new pump or existing pump. Wait times for test pits can run from a couple of weeks to a
couple of months. This will greatly extend the delivery times. Please verify that this is to be required.
Revise referenced item as follows:
“5. Pump repairs or rehabilitation work shall be completed within 20 working days after receipt of P.O.
authorizing the work. Submersible motor repairs or specialty work shall be completed within 30
working days after receipt of P.O. authorizing the work unless an extension of time is needed and
approved by SAWS to allow for a Pump and Submersible Motor Unit Test when required.”
4. Page 17 of 43, group II, C, item 4: Well mudding. "All equipment shall be designed for, and previously used
ONLY on, potable water applications. Rigs used in oil field, natural gas, fracking operations or other
industrial uses IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. The companies that provide the mudding services are oilfield
service companies. All equipment down-hole will be provided by us which is strictly for water well use.
Please verify.
Page 3 of 12
Revise referenced excerpt from Item 4: Well Mudding – Pump and Removal of Mud as follows: “All
equipment that will be in contact with the well water shall be designed for, and previously used ONLY on,
potable water applications. Use of rigs used in oil field, natural gas, fracking applications, or other
industrial uses IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.”
5. Page 20 of 43, item F, 4: Impeller coating shall be 3M ScotchKote fusion bonded epoxy. Bronze or
stainless steel impellers are not coated. Cast iron is sometimes coated; however, there are no know cast iron
impellers in SAWS well pumps. Please verify.
SAWS’ current standard is to specify bronze or stainless steel impellers. However, it is possible that a cast
iron impeller may be encountered under the scope of this contract. Revise referenced excerpt from Item 6:
Column Pipe and/or Coating as follows:
“4. Contractor shall notify SAWS if a cast iron impeller is encountered so a decision can be made regarding
replacement with bronze or stainless steel versus coating. Impeller coating shall be 3M ScotchKote
fusion-bonded epoxy. When applied, the coating shall have a total dft of at least 15 mils. Surface
preparation shall be according to coating manufacturer specifications.”
6. Page 21 of43, item B, 4: Repair shop labor. If subcontractor is used, price schedule must reflect the
subcontractor's hourly rate with no additional mark-up by the contractor. We make our money on these
types of services and do not offer “pass through” services directly from our suppliers or repair facilities.
Please verify that.
Revise referenced excerpt from Items 5 and 6: Repair Shop Labor as follows:
“4. If a subcontractor is used, Price Schedule must include the Contractor’s total hourly cost for Repair
Shop Labor, including any mark-up on the subcontractor’s price.”
7. Page 22 of 43, item E: Shipping Costs; SAWS has several types of submersible motors at their facilities.
Some are double mechanical seals and some are mercury seals. The costs associated with the shipping and
handling of these types of submersible motors varies considerably. The costs associated with shipping and
handling the mercury seal motors is significantly higher than with the mechanical seal motors. We would
request that an additional bid item be provided to cover the costs to ship and handle the mercury seal motors.
Please verify.
The Price Schedule has been revised to reflect two (2) categories of Shipping Costs to account for the
additional cost of shipping and handling the mercury seal motors.
8. Page 27 of 43, Bid Items 1, 2, 3 Pull or Install Pumps: Not all well pumps can be pulled utilizing our pulling
equipment. There are several that are either in houses or areas where we can only access by utilizing a
rented crane service. The charges for rented cranes are significantly higher than our rigs. We request that
an additional bid item be considered to cover the cost of renting a crane if necessary. Please verify.
Add the following under Group A: Pump Pulling and Installation in the Specifications and reference the
revised Price Schedule.
“K. Item 13: Crane Rental
Items 1 – 3: Pulling and Installing of Pumps applies to well pumps where a standard rig with a three-
man crew is sufficient. This bid item shall be used when circumstances require a crane be used for
pulling and installing because of an enclosure being around the well pump or some other obstacle. Bid
pricing shall be on a per hour basis for a maximum crane capacity of 200 tons, and the cost of
mobilization and demobilization shall be considered incidental.”

Other Revisions to the Specifications and General Requirements:
1. Page 11 of 43, Item 8 shall be revised as follows:
“8. Award will be made to the overall lowest responsible bidder based on the average annual contract
amount, which includes the first year base period and the three (3) additional one (1) year periods.”
2. Page 17 of 43, Item 4: Well Mudding – Pump and Removal of Mud, replace first three sentences with the
following:
“This item is for the installation and/or removal of mud and includes the purchase, mixing, application,
removal and disposal of cement to stop the flow of water for the purposes of repairing a well. Cement shall
be ASTM C150, Type I, Class ‘H’ Portland cement with a maximum 8% gel and 2% calcium chloride
mixed on-site with the minimum amount of water specified by the manufacturer to produce a “pumpable”
slurry. Use of grout additives and composition of slurry shall be subject to SAWS approval…”
3. Page 20 of 43, Item 6: Line Shaft Bearings – strike the sentence, “Line shaft bearing retainers shall be
provided integral with the column.”
