Full report
Bakersfield City Council has approved a $371,000 agreement with Buena Vista 6577 LLC to acquire real property for a domestic water well.
The site is located east of Buena Vista Road and north of McCutchen Road in Ward 5. The acquisition was approved as part of the council’s October 21 consent calendar, authorising the city to purchase the property specifically for domestic water-well infrastructure.
The action provides Bakersfield with a designated location for the well, although the council discussion did not provide further details on the well’s planned capacity, delivery timetable or construction programme.
In a separate water-infrastructure decision on the same consent calendar, the council approved Amendment No. 4 to its canal liner repair agreement with J.L. Plank, Inc., doing business as Cen-Cal Construction. The amendment increases compensation by $633,000, taking the agreement’s not-to-exceed value to $2.093 million, and extends the term by one year.
Together, the approvals commit the city to both a new domestic-water asset site and the continuation of canal-liner repair services.
