The Government desires to have all work described in the statement of
work to be completed by October 31, 2008; however, completion dates for
each schedule will be established during negotiations. The successful
Offeror will be selected based on price, ability to mobilize to the site
within the specified timeframe, and ability to complete the project in a
timely manner. Offerors must submit a schedule indicating the earliest
date that they can mobilize to the site, and days to complete the
project.

**SECTION B - SCHEDULE**

**B.1 SCHEDULE**

a.  Offerors will be considered for award on the following schedules.
    Awards may be made to one or more offerors for one or more
    schedules, but no offer will be considered for award on only a part
    of a schedule.

b.  Schedules I, and II, are for pricing of the wells if they are
    awarded individually. Schedule III is an option for pricing if both
    wells are awarded to a single offeror. Awards will be made for the
    construction of both wells, either singly or in combination to one
    or more offerors.

c.  All offerors are subject to the terms and conditions of this
    solicitation.

d.  The quantities in the schedules are estimated quantities for
    comparison of offerors only, Adjustments for actual quantities will
    be made as provided in the contract clause entitled "Variations in
    Estimated Quantities".

e.  Price comparisons will be made inclusive of the options within
    Schedules I, II, and III. The quantities identified in the Options
    are for comparison purposes only. The proposed prices for Optional
    Items within the Schedule will be added to the Total Amount of the
    Proposal to determine an evaluated price. The evaluated prices for
    Schedules I, II, and III will be compared between offerors. In
    addition, the evaluated price for Schedule III will be compared to
    the sum of the evaluated prices for Schedules I and II for each
    offeror.

f.  Exercise of the optional items will take place on an "as needed"
    basis if unexpected circumstances arise.

g.  See the contract clause entitled for "Payment for Mobilization and
    Preparatory Work" which applies to item 1 in each schedule.

## 1.01 LOCATION AND GENERAL GEOLOGY

A.  The well will be located on New Mexico State Lands in Section 25
    Township 18 South (T18S) Range 37 East (R37E) as shown in Figure 1.
    The location is approximately 20 miles north of Eunice and 5 miles
    west of Hobbs, New Mexico.

B.  Local geology consists of the Ogallala Formation which includes
    caliche and interbedded layers of fine- to medium-grained sand and
    gravel with minor clay lenses. This information is provided for the
    use of the Contractor in preparing for anticipated drilling
    conditions and possible equipment needed for successfully completing
    the project. Neither Reclamation nor the Project Representative
    makes any representation as to the accuracy of conditions at the
    project location.

## 1.02 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A.  The Contractor must be a licensed well driller in the State of New
    Mexico and shall construct the well according to the NMOSE Rules and
    Regulations Governing Drilling of Wells and Appropriation and Use of
    Ground Water in New Mexico, including submission of well record
    completion forms. The Contractor shall provide the Project
    Representative with a copy of the final well record.

B.  The Project Representative may order drilling to depths shallower or
    deeper than depths shown on the drawings and as estimated for
    bidding purposes. If quantity of borehole

> well construction change, unit bid prices shall prevail. Minor
> variations in methods proposed herein, including but not limited to
> running development tools or pumps to greater depths than proposed,
> drilling to depths of up to 15 percent greater than proposed, and
> installation of greater quantities of annular materials than proposed
> shall be performed at the unit prices bid, and shall not be considered
> additional services beyond the scope of the project specifications.
> Upon completion of the exploratory borehole and analysis of
> geophysical logs, the Reclamation may elect to complete the well to
> depths greater or less than proposed, or to not complete a final well.

C.  The Contractor shall not enter on or occupy with personnel, tools,
    equipment, or material, any ground outside the construction area
    without approval of Reclamation. Other contractors, employees, or
    agents of Reclamation may, for business purposes, enter the work
    site and premises used by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not
    impede any work being done by others on or adjacent to the well site
    unless necessary as determined by the Project Representative.

D.  The Contractor shall prevent damage to all structures, roads, or
    other operations during the progress of his work and shall remove
    from the location all debris and unused materials. Upon completion
    of the work, the Contractor shall restore the site to a condition as
    near to the original condition as possible.

E.  The Contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all debris,
    including but not limited to drilling fluid and water produced by
    test pumping or other operations, by such methods and to such
    locations that will not cause damage to, or interference with,
    structures, roads, or utilities, or with other construction
    projects. All costs incurred in connection with the disposal of
    drilling fluid, cuttings, and water shall be incidental to the
    Contract and shall be included in the contract price.

## 1.03 SCOPE OF WORK

A.  The work includes the furnishing of all labor, material,
    transportation, tools, supplies, plant, equipment, and appurtenances
    necessary to complete the well drilling and testing work. The work
    consists of the satisfactory record keeping, drilling, reaming,
    installation, and cementing of well casing, development,
    disinfection, and testing of one water-supply well as specified. All
    work associated with the project will be based on unit prices as
    negotiated with the Contractor. The work shall be completed in
    strict accordance with the specifications and drawings and in
    conformance with the Rules and Regulations of the NMOSE.

## 1.04 SUMMARY OF REQUIRED WORK

A.  The work required for the construction of the water-supply wells
    includes, but is not limited to, the following:

    1.  Move equipment on-site.

    2.  A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) may be required
        if the work site can not be kept to less than 1 acre. The
        Contractor must file a SWPPP or file notice of intent (NOI) to
        discharge, as may be appropriate, with the New Mexico
        Environment Department (NMED) prior to beginning work.

    3.  Control all produced fluids during drilling and well
        development. Water containing foam, sediment, drill cuttings,
        drilling fluid, and the like may not be discharged directly into
        any channel, drainage, or arroyo.

    4.  Maintain drilling-time and formation logs, and daily-drilling
        reports.

    5.  Drill 12.25-inch diameter pilot hole by hydraulic direct or
        reverse rotary drilling method from the ground surface to the
        full depth as directed by the Project Representative.

    6.  Collect drill cutting samples for each 10-foot interval of
        drilling, except when the character of the drill cuttings
        indicates changes in formation through which the drill is
        boring, samples will be taken at shorter intervals.

    7.  As drilling advances, a mechanical drift indicator shall be run
        at intervals of no less than 60 feet of depth to the total depth
        of the pilot borehole and the final diameter borehole. A maximum
        deflection of 10.4 inches per 100 feet (0.5 degrees) will be
        allowed.

    8.  The Contractor will be responsible for geophysical logging of
        the pilot hole from the ground surface to the total drilled
        depth. The hole shall be thoroughly conditioned and circulated
        immediately prior to logging.

    9.  Reaming the pilot hole for surface casing. A 32-inch diameter
        hole shall be drilled to a depth of approximately 20 feet or as
        directed by Reclamation.

    10. Install new, unused blank surface casing using pipe that
        complies with ASTM Specification A-53 Grade B. The casing will
        be 26-inch diameter having a minimum wall thickness of 0.313;
        the casing shall be cemented in place and allowed to set for 24
        hours prior to resumption of drilling operations.

    11. Ream the pilot hole to 20-inch diameter from below the surface
        casing approximately 190 feet to the total depth.

    12. The Contractor will be responsible for running a caliper log on
        the final hole prior to running casing. The hole shall be
        thoroughly reconditioned and circulated, by the Contractor,
        immediately prior to logging.

    13. Install new, unused blank well casing using pipe that complies
        with ASTM Specification A-139 Grade B. The casing will be
        16-inch diameter low carbon steel having a minimum wall
        thickness of 0.313 inch. The blank well casing shall be
        installed with centralizing guides every 40 ft, and suspended
        from the surface casing using a Reclamation approved landing
        clamp.

    14. Install 80 feet of new, unused well screen using pipe that
        complies with ASTM Specification A-139 Grade B. The louvered
        screened casing will be 16-inch diameter with 0.050-in slots of
        low carbon steel having a minimum wall thickness of 0.313 inch,
        from approximately 120 feet to 200 feet bgs.

    15. Install 120 feet of new sounder tube, unused black pipe and
        screen that complies with ASTM Specification A-120. The black
        pipe will be 2.38-inch diameter schedule 40 and installed in the
        well annulus.

    16. Install a bentonite plug and cement grout seal in the well
        annulus from the top of the gravel pack to the ground surface.

    17. Develop the new well using air lift techniques; air lifting
        shall proceed until the produced water is free of suspended
        sediment, as approved by the Project Representative.

    18. Supply and install test pump (to a depth of 120 ft), generator
        or driver as appropriate, discharge pipe, valves, totalizing
        flow meter, weir/flume, and appurtenances.

    19. Final well development will be completed using test pump with a
        maximum capacity of 1,000 gpm; development shall be accomplished
        by intermittent pumping cycles.

    20. Test pumping will be accomplished using the same pumping and
        measuring equipment supplied by the Contractor for final well
        development and will consist of two tests: a step-rate pumping
        test with recovery followed by a sustained yield pumping test
        with recovery.

    21. The step test will consist of 4, 200-minute, uninterrupted
        pumping periods so that a total of 800 minutes of pumping is
        accomplished at 4 successively higher rates; pumping rates will
        be determined by the Project Representative.

    22. Perform at least 24 hours of sustained yield test pumping at a
        pumping rate near maximum capacity, as determined by the step
        test and Project Representative.

    23. All methods and costs incurred in connection with the disposal
        of water, including any permitting requirements, are the sole
        responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall develop a
        plan for water discharge that is acceptable to the NMED,
        Reclamation, and the City of Eunice.

    24. Submit water-quality samples to laboratory for analysis for
        metals, insecticides, herbicides, TTHMs and other organic
        contaminants, major cations and anions, total dissolved solids,
        conductivity, pH, coliform bacteria, and total plate count.

    25. Perform video survey of newly constructed well from ground
        surface to total drilled depth.

    26. The Contractor shall disinfect the well through distribution of
        granular calcium hypochlorite throughout the water column with a
        chlorine basket.

    27. The top of the casing shall be provided with a metal cap,
        approved by the Project Representative, to cover and protect the
        well until the pump installation has begun. A steel plate shall
        be welded to cover the open space between the surface and well

## 3.09 FILTER PACKING

A.  The annular space between the borehole and the casing shall be
    filled with select filter material from total borehole depth to
    within 50 ft bgs. The objective of the filter pack is to act as a
    formation stabilizer.

B.  While clear water is being added, heavy fluid shall be pumped to
    waste from the lower part of the suction pit. The fluid shall be
    circulated through the tremie pipe in the annulus and tubing or
    drill pipe inside the casing until the drilling fluid has been
    thinned back. The Driller shall ensure that circulation will be
    continuous from the time that watering-back of the drilling fluid
    begins until the time the filter pack is completely in place.

C.  The filter pack shall be placed in the annulus of the well by
    pumping it through a tremie pipe. The feed line shall be gradually
    withdrawn as the filter pack is deposited. A minimum of one-half
    gallon of 12.5 percent sodium hypochlorite solution shall be added
    to every 6 cubic yards of filter pack as it is being placed. The
    circulating fluid shall have a minimum free chlorine concentration
    of at least 100 mg/L.

D.  The filter packs shall be placed until the annulus is filled to
    approximately 70 feet above the top of the uppermost section of the
    perforated casing. The Contractor shall provide means of measuring
    the volume of filter pack as it is installed, and continual checks
    must be made to insure against voids or bridging of the filter
    material. The amount of filter pack introduced in the hole shall not
    be less than the computed amount based on the caliper log of the
    reamed borehole as calculated by the Project Representative. Any
    amount placed that is substantially different than the computed
    amount shall be deemed a sign of voids or bridging, and the
    Contractor shall undertake appropriate corrective measures at no
    cost to Reclamation.

E.  At no time during any well flushing or development procedure, shall
    the filter material be allowed to drop to within 10 feet of the top
    of the perforated casing. The volume of all filter material added
    shall be calculated and recorded.

## 3.10 BENTONITE PLUG AND CEMENT ANNUAL SEAL

A.  An annular hydrated bentonite plug will be installed above the
    filter packing using a tremie pipe as a feed line. The tremie pipe
    shall be gradually withdrawn as the bentonite is deposited.

B.  Bentonite shall be placed until the annulus is filled to
    approximately 10 feet above the top of the filter pack. The amount
    of bentonite introduced in the hole shall not be less than the
    computed amount based on the caliper log of the reamed borehole as
    calculated by the Project Representative.

C.  Immediately after installation of the bentonite plug, a continuous
    annular seal will be placed above the bentonite plug interval. The
    annular seal shall be a continuous cement plug placed through a
    tremie pipe of an appropriate diameter. When completed, the annular
    seal shall completely fill the space between the well casing and the
    reamed bore hole, including that interval of the surface casing,
    from the top of the bentonite plug to ground level, as shown in the
    design drawing (Figure 2).

D.  After the annular seal is completely in place, a minimum of 24­ hours
    setup time shall be observed prior to any work being performed in
    the well.

## 3.11 DEVELOPMENT BY ZONED AIR-LIFT PUMPING

A.  Upon well completion, the Contractor shall develop the well by zoned
    airlift pumping, in continuous 20-foot sections, from the bottom of
    the well to the top of the perforated casing. The air-lift pumping
    device shall consist of a 20-foot length of 6-inch diameter pipe
    with appropriate diameter double disc rubber washers, which fit
    tightly to the inside of the perforated casing, placed at each end.
    Holes shall be evenly placed around the circumference of the pipe
    between the discs.

B.  A 1.5-inch-diameter air injector pipe shall be run within the column
    pipe to provide the airlift pumping. The air injector pipe shall be
    capped at the end and shall have sufficient holes drilled in the
    lower 5 feet to act as an air diffuser. The air compressor used for
    the airlift shall be rated at not less than 750-cfm at 250-psi
    discharge pressure. The air shall be filtered to prevent oil
    entrainment within the compressed air. The air injector pipe shall
    be set within 10 feet of the top screen perforations and maintained
    at that depth.

C.  Air lifting shall proceed until the produced water is free of
    suspended sediment, as approved by the Project Representative.

D.  The Contractor shall furnish all plant, materials, and labor
    required to accomplish the development by air lifting. Developing
    will be paid for by the hour at the unit price shown on the
    Schedule. All hours counted toward development of the well will be
    actual time spent in the hole on activities and with appropriate
    equipment as specified. No time will be considered for downtime due
    to improper, inadequate, or malfunctioning equipment, test
    procedures or techniques.

[]{.mark}

E.  Produced water shall be contained by plumbing connected to the
    wellhead such that it can be discharged to locations in accordance
    with the Contractor's SWPPP plan, and approved by the Reclamation's
    Representative. Discharge is to be routed approximately 300 ft and
    spread on the surface to prevent channeling.

## After airlift development has been completed, the well shall be sounded and any accumulated sediment shall be bailed from the well to within 5 feet of the bottom of the casing. 

## 3.12 DISINFECTION

A.  The Contractor shall follow the well disinfection procedures
    outlined below. Chlorine used for all disinfection shall be
    65-percent HTH granular calcium hypochlorite. Disinfection with
    sodium hypochlorite will not be allowed.

B.  Immediately after well development is complete, the Contractor shall
    disinfect the well. Granular calcium hypochlorite shall be
    distributed evenly throughout the water column with a chlorine
    basket. The chlorine basket shall have a fine mesh exterior and be
    of such design so that is can be lowered on a wire line to the full
    depth of the well and be capable of holding at least 30 pounds of
    chlorine.

C.  The quantity of chlorine used shall be equal to 2.0 pounds for each
    100 feet of water column in the well, sufficient to initially
    produce a chlorine concentration of approximately 100 mg/L. Based on
    the above ratio, the total quantity of chlorine shall be determined
    and placed in the chlorine basket. The basket shall then be run to
    the bottom of the perforated liner on a wire line and slowly
    retrieved through the entire water column. This process shall be
    repeated until all of the chlorine has dissolved. The well shall be
    allowed to set for at least 12 hours prior to running the pump.

D.  During the time interval between disinfection as described above and
    installation of the test pump, the well shall be capped with a
    3/8-inch steel plate securely welded to the casing.

## 3.13 PLUMBNESS AND ALIGNMENT

A.  The completed well shall be sufficiently straight and plumb for the
    free installation and operation of a 12-inch diameter line-shaft
    turbine pump regularly built for 16-inch casing and shall meet AWWA
    A-100 specifications for plumbness and alignment from the ground
    surface to the total well depth.

B.  A well plumbness and alignment test shall be conducted by drift
    indicator survey method. A mechanical drift indicator at intervals
    of no less than 100 feet of depth to the total depth of the hole
    during drilling of the pilot hole. Results shall be labeled with the
    following information.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Name and number of well

2.  Date

3.  Deviation at each 10-foot interval

4.  Direction of deviation at each 10-foot interval

5.  Notations requested by the Project Representative

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
C.  A maximum deflection of 10.4 inches per 100 feet (0.5 degree) shall
    be deemed in proper plumbness and alignment. If a deflection higher
    than 10.4 inches per 100 feet is recorded the Contractor shall at
    the Reclamation's discretion correct the alignment or abandon and
    properly plug the hole at no additional cost to Reclamation and
    another hole shall be drilled at no additional cost to Reclamation.

> In the event that the test pump, or pump selected for permanent
> equipment, cannot be installed set to the bottom of the installed well
> casing, or if there is disagreement between the Contractor and
> Reclamation or Reclamation's Representative regarding plumbness and
> alignment, the mechanical drift indicator disc shall be analyzed by a
> service company selected upon agreement between both the Contractor
> and Reclamation. Two copies of the services company's interpretation
> of the survey shall be supplied to Reclamation, and this
> interpretation shall be binding on both parties. This service will be
> provided by the Contractor at no additional cost to Reclamation.

[]{.mark}

D.  Records of deflection readings and all other pertinent information
    shall be kept and made part of the permanent well log and record.
    Reclamation may modify the requirements for plumbness if in his
    judgment (a) the Contractor has exercised all possible care in
    constructing the well and the defect is due to circumstances beyond
    his control; (b) the utility of the completed well will not be
    materially affected; or (c) the cost of necessary remedial measures
    will be excessive.

E.  To assure that the borehole is started straight and plumb, the
    drilling rig shall be leveled so that the drilling tools hang free
    and plumb in the center of the rotary table. The drilling rig shall
    be supported on jack pads properly designed and constructed so that
    undue settling does not occur. The Contractor shall periodically
    check the drilling rig level and make adjustments necessary to
    correct the level due to settling.

## 3.14 DEVELOPMENT BY PUMPING 

A.  The Contractor shall furnish, install, operate, and remove either a
    submersible pump, or a deep-well turbine pump for developing the
    well. If a deep-well turbine pump is used, the prime mover shall be
    a variable speed type. Development pumping shall be initiated within
    7 days after development by air-lift pumping is complete.

B.  The pump shall have a capacity of 800 gpm at a pumping level of 100
    ft with a pump setting of approximately 120 ft. The contractor shall
    provide a Mag flow meter capable of instantaneous and total flow
    measurements, valve, and discharge piping capable of discharging the
    produced water to the pit(s) near the well, and as the water clears
    to a point up to 300 ft from the well. The Contractor's pump, valve,
    and equipment must be capable of holding the pumping rate to within
    2 percent of desired pumping rates.

C.  The initial pumping rate shall be restricted and, as the water
    clears, shall be gradually increased until the maximum rate is
    reached. The maximum rate will be determined by the Project
    Representative after consideration of the well drawdown and
    discharge.

D.  The Contractor shall provide a 1.5-inch PVC sounding tube strapped
    to the discharge pipe column to within 10 feet of the top of the
    pump intake. The Contractor shall also provide a 250 ft wire-line
    electric sounder calibrated in increments of not less than 1 foot
    for measuring water levels manually. The wire-line sounder shall not
    contain wire which is stretched or no longer provides accurate
    measurements.

E.  At intervals determined by the Project Representative the pump shall
    be stopped to allow surging of the well. The cycle of pumping and
    surging shall be repeated until the discharged water is clean of
    sand, silt, and mud and until there is no increase in specific
    capacity during at least 2 hours of continuous pumping and surging.
    It is anticipated that development pumping will be performed for 12
    hours, followed by a 12 hour period for water level recovery.

[]{.mark}

F.  The Contractor shall continue development until the specific
    capacity of the well is essentially stable for a minimum of 2 hours
    and the specific capacity is essentially the same for all of the
    different flow-rate steps after equal amounts of time.

[]{.mark}

G.  The Contractor shall keep independent records of pumping time, flow
    rate, pumping level, sand production, and other discharge
    characteristics.

## 3.15 TEST PUMPING 

A.  Test pumping shall consist of an 800-minute step-drawdown test
    (four, 200-minute steps), and, at minimum, a 24 hour constant-rate
    test, and associated recovery tests. Water-level data will be
    collected with the transducer and data logger provided by the
    Project Representative. Pumping rates shall be maintained to within
    2 percent of the desired rate specified by the Project
    Representative.

B.  The Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment, materials, and
    maintenance to make a complete pumping test of the well within 48
    hours following development work. The test pumping equipment shall
    have a capacity not less than specified in **Section** **3.14
    Development by Pumping** and shall be capable of delivering water
    from the given level below the ground surface to a point of
    discharge 500 ft downgradient of the well. Check valves acceptable
    to the Project Representative shall be used to prevent back flushing
    of the discharge piping.

C.  Upon completion of development pumping, a step-drawdown pumping test
    shall be conducted. The test shall not begin until the well has been
    shut down at least 12 hours or until 95-percent water level recovery
    has been achieved.

    -   The step test shall consist of four, 200-minute pumping periods,
        such that a total of 800 minutes (13.3 hours) of pumping is
        accomplished at four successively higher rates. The pumping
        rates shall be determined by the Project Representative.

    -   The step test consists of 800 minutes of uninterrupted time. Any
        time incurred for restarts or delays caused by mechanical or
        other failures will not be considered part of the test time and
        will be at no additional cost to Reclamation.

D.  Upon completion of a minimum 12 hour recovery period after the
    step-drawdown pumping test, a 24-hour constant-rate pumping test
    shall be conducted, followed by at least a 24-hour water-level
    recovery period. The pump may not be pulled from the well until the
    recovery period has ended.

    -   The pumping rate for the constant rate test shall be near the
        maximum capacity, as determined by the previous step test,
        approved by the Project Representative. The pumping rate shall
        be held constant for the entire period.

E.  If the pump is shut off for any reason during the pumping portion of
    the test, it shall remain shut off for 12 hours or until 95-percent
    water level recovery has been achieved and the complete test rerun
    at no additional expense to Reclamation.

F.  Upon completion of the test, results shall be turned over to the
    Project Representative for analysis.

G.  Upon removal of the test pump, the Contractor shall allow the well
    to set for at least 48 hours prior to performing the video survey.

## 3.16 WATER-QUALITY TESTING

A.  Constituent Sampling and Laboratory Testing: The Contractor,
    supervised by the Project Representative, shall collect and properly
    preserve, in containers provided by the laboratory, one suite of
    water samples at the end of the constant-rate test pumping for the
    water-supply well.

B.  [Bacteriological Testing]{.underline}: Collect and properly preserve
    water samples from the well for bacteriological testing. Residual
    chlorine must be non-detectable at the time of sampling.
    Bacteriological testing shall be performed and approved results
    received prior to the completion of pumping. Bacteriological tests
    shall include the following:

> 1\. total coliform
>
> 2\. total place count

C.  The water shall be deemed unacceptable if coliform bacteria are
    present.

D.  It is Contractor's responsibility to see that the well is so tested
    and, if unacceptable, disinfect the well again. Disinfection and
    subsequent testing shall continue at the Contractor's expense until
    test results are approved, indicating acceptable conditions. The
    pump shall not be removed from the well until results are approved.

E.  [Inorganic and Organic Analysis]{.underline}: The Contractor shall
    collect samples for water-quality analysis of inorganic and organic
    parameters listed to assess general water quality. Samples shall be
    submitted to Hall Environmental Analysis Laboratories in
    Albuquerque, New Mexico, or other approved analytical laboratory.
    All samples shall be collected in properly preserved bottles
    provided by the laboratory. Reclamation's Representative must be
    present during sample collection. Samples shall be stored
    immediately on ice or blue ice after collection and remain so stored
    until received by the laboratory. All laboratory holding times for
    sample preservation shall be followed. Laboratory detection limits
    must be below the NMED, Drinking Water Bureau standard for
    parameters analyzed. Samples shall be analyzed for:

## 3.17 DISPOSAL OF WASTEWATER AND DRILLING MUD

A. Water produced by test pumping or other operations shall be disposed
of in a manner and at the location in accordance with the Contractor's
SWPPP and the requirements of the New Mexico State Land Office and the
Town of Eunice. Water produced during development and pump testing will
be discharged to a location approximately 500 feet down gradient of the
well site. The Contractor shall be responsible for supplying all
discharge plumbing and additional pumps necessary for discharging the
water. Discharge shall be such that erosion is minimized. Drainage of
water from the well location onto surfaces adjoining the well site will
not be permitted. Disposal of water will be by such methods that damage
to structures, roads or utilities or interference with same or
interference with construction projects will be prevented. In the event
that mud pits are required, they must be thoroughly cleaned and back
filled with granular material upon completion of work.

B. Waste drilling mud and cuttings shall be removed from the site and
properly disposed of upon completion of drilling operations, unless
otherwise indicated by the New Mexico State Land Office. All cost
incurred in connection with the disposal of water, drilling mud,
cuttings, and cleaning and back filling of mud pits will be incidental
to well drilling and be borne by the Contractor.

## 3.18 VIDEO INSPECTION

A.  The Contractor shall make a closed-circuit color video inspection of
    the entire depth of the well upon completion of all construction and
    immediately before sealing and capping of the well. The camera
    equipment shall have a wide-angle (fish-eye) lens directed downward,
    and shall also include right-angle (side-scan) capability. The
    camera depth, in feet below ground surface, shall be displayed on
    the tape at all times. The Project Representative must be present
    for observation of video monitoring and to determine where side
    scanning will be required. The well water shall be sufficiently
    clear to allow examination of the entire hole and well casing during
    the video taping. If not, the Contractor shall be required to clear
    the water at his own expense to allow examination of the entire hole
    in subsequent video tapings. The tape shall be labeled with the
    following information:

# PART 1 GENERAL

## 1.01 LOCATION AND GENERAL GEOLOGY

A.  The well will be located approximately 2.5 miles southwest of the
    town of Hagerman as accessed from Shoshoni Road, within the SW ¼
    Section 21 T14S R26E (Figure 1). The land is owned by the town. The
    final location shall be directed by the Project Representative in
    the field.

B.  Local geology at the site may consist of alluvium, the Artesia Group
    and San Andres formations, encompassing sand, clay, gravel,
    sandstone, shale, limestone, conglomerate, and dolomite; the lower
    part of the hole will penetrate the San Andres limestone. This
    information is provided for the use of the Contractor in preparing
    for anticipated drilling conditions and possible equipment needed
    for successfully completing the project. Neither the Reclamation nor
    the Project Representative makes any representation of conditions
    that will be encountered at the project location.

C.  It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide proper notification
    to the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (NMOSE) in Roswell
    for the inspection of the well casing, cementing, and pressure
    testing, and proper documentation of casing and materials.

## 1.02 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A.  The Contractor must be a licensed well driller in the State of New
    Mexico and shall construct the well according to the NMOSE Rules and
    Regulations Governing Drilling of Wells and Appropriation and Use of
    Ground Water in New Mexico, including submission of well record
    completion forms. The Contractor shall provide the Project
    Representative with a copy of the final well record.

**Figure 1 - Well Location**

B.  The Project Representative may order drilling to depths shallower or
    deeper than depths shown on the drawings and as estimated for
    proposal purposes. If quantity of borehole drilled, reamed, or
    quantity of materials actually incorporated in well construction
    change, negotiated unit prices shall prevail. Minor variations in
    methods proposed herein, including but not limited to running
    development tools or pumps to greater depths than proposed, drilling
    to depths of up to 15 percent greater than proposed, and
    installation of greater quantities of annular materials than
    proposed shall be performed at the negotiated unit prices, and shall
    not be considered additional services beyond the scope of the
    project specifications. Upon completion of the exploratory borehole
    and analysis of geophysical logs, Reclamation may elect to complete
    the well to depths greater or less than proposed, or to not complete
    a final well.

C.  The Contractor shall not enter on or occupy with men, tools,
    equipment, or material, any ground outside the construction area
    without approval of Reclamation. Other contractors, employees, or
    agents of Reclamation may, for business purposes, enter the work
    site and premises used by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not
    impede any work being done by others on or adjacent to the well site
    unless necessary as determined by the Project Representative.

D.  The Contractor shall prevent damage to all structures, roads, or
    other operations during the progress of his work and shall remove
    from the location all debris and unused materials. Upon completion
    of the work, the Contractor shall restore the site to a condition as
    near to the original condition as possible.

E.  The Contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all debris,
    including but not limited to drilling fluid and water produced by
    test pumping or other operations, by such methods and to such
    locations that will not cause damage to, or interference with,
    structures, roads, or utilities, or with other construction
    projects. All costs incurred in connection with the disposal of
    drilling fluid, cuttings, and water shall be incidental to the
    Contract and shall be included in the contract price.

    to no compensation and shall seek an alternate supply. There will be
    no payment made to the Contractor for the drilling water in the
    event that they must obtain it from a source other than the Town of
    Hagerman.

B.  It shall be the Contractor\'s responsibility to provide and maintain
    temporary plumbing, including the water meter, transportation, and
    storage required to complete the work.

C.  Water use will be monitored by the Town, and all water shall be
    carefully conserved. Before final acceptance of the well, all
    temporary connections and piping installed by the Contractor shall
    be removed in a manner satisfactory to the Project Representative.

D.  All costs associated with the purchase, maintenance, transportation,
    and disposal of drilling and development water shall be the
    responsibility of the Contractor.

## 2.03 CIRCULATING MEDIA

A.  Boreholes will be drilled using the hydraulic direct or reverse
    rotary method. Drilling fluids shall be composed of air, water, or
    water/foam based systems only during reaming of the San Andres
    Limestone production zone from the bottom of the well casing to the
    total drilled depth. Mud based drilling fluids can be used during
    advancement of the pilot hole and borehole reaming for installation
    of the surface and well casings. Drilling fluids shall meet the
    requirements specified below unless a variation is requested by the
    Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Funnel Viscosity: Mud viscosity shall be kept as thin as practical
    and still retain formation stability and adequate hole cleaning.
    Normal viscosities of 30 to 40 seconds per quart are recommended to
    adequately clean the pilot hole. Viscosities of 40 to 60 may be
    needed for reaming.

2.  Weight: Drilling fluid weights in the range of 9 lbs/gal are
    recommended to speed drilling, minimize lost circulation, and
    prevent tight hole.

3.  Thirty-Minute Water Loss: Filtrate values below 10 cc shall be
    maintained while drilling the pilot hole. Filtrate control shall be
    maintained at 13 cc or below while reaming.

4.  Filter Cake: Filter cake thickness shall be maintained at 3/32-in.
    maximum.

5.  Sand content of fluid entering the hole shall not exceed 4 percent
    by volume. If sand content exceeds the 4 percent of volume criteria,
    a de-sander will be required.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
B.  Acceptable drilling fluid constituents must be NSF approved for use
    in water-supply wells and may include bentonite, synthetic polymers,
    inorganic-phosphate thinning agents, drilling detergents and foaming
    agents, and weighting materials, as approved by the Project
    Representative. Lost-circulation materials shall not be used without
    approval of the Project Representative. Use of polymer mud without
    some bentonite to contribute to wall-cake development will not be
    allowed. It is expressly understood that toxic and/or dangerous
    substances will not be added to the drilling fluid. Potable water
    only will be used for mixing the drilling fluid.

C.  The drilling fluid properties required will depend on: 1) the type
    and size of drilling equipment to be used, and 2) down-hole
    conditions anticipated or encountered. Properties of the drilling
    fluid are to be measure in accordance with the procedures of the
    American Petroleum Institute R.P. 12-B "Procedures of Testing
    Drilling Fluids". Samples tested are those caught at the rig pump
    suction with care taken to assure a true and representative sample.
    Test shall be conducted: 1) every 50 feet of depth or 2) every four
    circulating hours or 3) whenever conditions appear to have changed
    or problems arise.

D.  The Contractor shall maintain current records on the site at all
    times to show: 1) time, depth and results of all mud tests, 2) all
    materials added to the system including kind, amount, time, and
    depth, and 3) variances or modifications from agreed to mud program
    including time, depth, reason and authorization.

E.  The Contactor must control water produced during drilling in
    accordance with their SWPPP, or per their NOI.

## 2.04 GROUT

A.  The casing shall be landed on a suitable casing seat in the
    confining formation overlaying the artesian aquifer and sufficient
    cement shall be used to obtain circulation to the surface. When
    circulation to the surface is not obtained, cement shall be placed
    to the surface behind casing. Additives of pozzolanic nature may be
    used above the casing shoe but shall not exceed fifty (50) percent
    by volume. The addition of calcium chloride and/or gel is
    permissible but shall not in any case exceed two (2) percent each by
    weight. A sufficient amount of cement without additives shall be
    used to allow neat cement to seal the casing shoe and rise a minimum
    of fifty (50) feet above the shoe between the casing and hole.
    Additives may be added above the fifty (50) foot neat cement
    requirement.

B.  Cementing shall be done by the pump and plug method as follows:
    After the casing has been run and landed, the casing shall be raised
    slightly in order to equalize the fluid pressure inside and outside
    of the casing. A heavy slurry of cement and water shall be mixed and
    poured or pumped into the top of the casing. The cement slurry shall
    be a minimum weight of fifteen (15) pounds per gallon. A casing plug
    of standard make shall be placed in the casing above the cement and
    a swedge nipple screwed onto the top of the casing and connected to
    the mud pump. Then, a mud slurry or water shall be pumped into the
    casing, forcing the cement and casing plug down the casing. When the
    plug reaches the point desired above the bottom of the casing, the
    pump shall be stopped and the casing lowered to the casing seat. The
    cementing program shall be witnessed and approved by the Project
    Representative and the NMOSE. The cement will be allowed a period of
    at least 48 hours to set before drilling operation may be resumed.

## 2.05 CASING FOR WATER-SUPPLY WELLS

A.  The Project Representative will determine final well construction
    depths after reviewing pilot-hole cuttings and geophysical logs, and
    after consulting with appropriate Reclamation and Town of Hagerman
    personnel. Casing materials shall not be purchased until after
    geophysical logs have been reviewed by the Project Representative,
    and approved by Reclamation. If quantity of borehole drilled,
    reamed, or quantity of materials actually incorporated in well
    construction change, unit bid prices shall prevail.

B.  All casing shall be new and free of rust, pits, or other defects.
    Well casing shall be supplied in minimum lengths of 20 ft. A
    standard casing shoe shall be welded to the casing to assure proper
    position. All casing shall be threaded with coupling tack welds
    after tightening.

C.  Surface casing shall be new and free of rust, pits, or other
    defects. Surface casing shall be 20-inch outside diameter blank, low
    carbon steel casing, ASTM A-53 Grade B having a minimum wall
    thickness of 0.375 inches and a minimum weight of 78 pounds per foot
    (lbs/ft). For proposal purposes, the length of the casing string
    shall be as shown on the drawings (Figure 2). The actual length of
    the casing will be subject to change as determined by the Project
    Representative. The Contractor may, for his own convenience and at
    his option, place the surface casing and grout at the beginning of
    drilling operations. However, no payment will be made for this item
    until and unless the hole is accepted for well casing.

**FIGURE 2 - WELL DESIGN**

![](media/image4.wmf)

D.  Well casing shall be new and free of rust, pits, or other defects.
    Casing shall be 13-3/8 inch outside diameter blank, threaded and
    coupled, API grade J-55 casing, having a minimum wall thickness of
    0.380 inches and a minimum weight with couplings of 54.50 lbs/ft.
    Coupling outside diameter shall be 14.375 inches with a length of 8
    inches and 8 coupling threads per inch. For proposal purposes, the
    length of the casing string shall be as shown on the drawings. The
    actual length of the casing will be subject to change as determined
    by the Project Representative.

## 2.06 CENTERING GUIDES, GUIDE SHOE, AND WIPER PLUG

A.  Centering guides shall be installed at intervals of no greater than
    80 feet along the well casing string. The guides shall consist of
    four, 1/4-inch by 2-inch by 2-foot-long rigid steel guides welded at
    top and bottom, with approximately 1.5‑inches standoff from the
    casing. Centering guides shall be aligned vertically with respect to
    each other and approved by the Project Representative.

B.  The Contractor shall provide and install a guide shoe on the bottom
    of the well casing string to facilitate running of casing and
    cementing. Shoe shall be of drillable design.

C.  A wiper plug shall be used in cementing the well casing. Wiper plug
    shall be designed to separate cement grout from displacement fluid
    and clean casing after cementing. When seated in guide shoe, wiper
    plug will be held in place by shutting-in the wellhead.

D.  The casing shall be suspended at all times until cement has set. The
    casing may be suspended from the drilling rig during this time. The
    casing shall be landed on a suitable casing seat in the confining
    formation overlaying the artesian aquifer. The landing clamp will be
    12-inch wide by 1-inch thick with appropriate bolts and spacers. The
    clamp shall be bolted to the well casing in such a manner that it
    rests on the 20-inch surface casing. The clamp shall then be welded
    to the casing around the circumference, top and bottom. The clamp
    shall be set into notches cut in the top of the conductor casing and
    welded, sides and bottom, with the casing string kept suspended at
    all times. A Roscoe-Moss Company landing clamp capable of holding 50
    tons or a Reclamation approved equivalent shall be used.

    drilling floor and to the Kelly bushing shall be measured and
    included in the report.

C.  One copy of each Daily Drilling Report shall be furnished to the
    Project Representative upon request. The Project Representative does
    not have the authority to approve costs based on the daily field
    reports, and any signatures made on the daily field reports or other
    field documentation provided by the Contractor shall be considered
    only to acknowledge that the form or report was accepted, not an
    acceptance of the hours worked, footage drilled, materials provided,
    placed, or the like.

## 3.03 PIPE TALLIES

A.  An accurate record of all drill-pipe, tubing, and casing on the
    location shall be maintained at all times. A current pipe tally
    shall be maintained for all drill bits, subs, cross-overs,
    drill-pipe, tubing, and casing run into the borehole. Measurements
    of each joint shall be made to the nearest 0.01 foot prior to
    running in the borehole.

## 3.04 DRILLING BOREHOLE FOR THE SURFACE CASING 

A.  The borehole shall be drilled to a 26-inch diameter from ground
    surface to the approximate depth as shown on the drawings or as
    directed by the Project Representative.

B.  The borehole shall be drilled for the purpose of determining the
    thickness and characteristics of formations, and for the
    installation of the surface casing.

C.  The diameter and depth of the borehole shall be as shown on the
    drawings and as specified, except that after cuttings samples and
    drilling data have been analyzed, any of the various depths
    indicated may be increased or decreased by the Project
    Representative if cuttings and drilling data indicate that more
    favorable strata may be present at different depths than shown on
    the drawings.

## 3.05 DRILLING BOREHOLE FOR WELL CASING 

A.  After the grout for the surface casing has set as specified, the
    pilot hole for the well casing shall be reamed to 17.5-inch diameter
    from the bottom of the surface casing to the approximate depth as
    shown on the drawings or as directed by the Project Representative.

B.  The Contractor shall provide a proposal based on the diameter and
    depth of the well as shown on the drawings. Any of the various
    depths indicated may be increased or decreased by the Project
    Representative if cuttings and drilling data indicate that more
    favorable strata may be present at different depths than shown on
    the drawings.

## 3.06 DRILLING PRODUCTION ZONE BOREHOLE 

A.  After the grout for the well casing has set as specified, a
    12.25-inch diameter borehole from the bottom of the well casing to
    the approximate depth as shown on the drawings or as directed by the
    Project Representative will be advanced. Drilling within the San
    Andres Limestone will be performed with air, foam, and/or water
    fluid circulation only. The Contractor shall manage produced water
    as required by their discharge permit or applicable local, State,
    and Federal requirements.

B.  The Contractor shall provide a proposal based on the diameter and
    depth of the well as shown on the drawings. The actual depth may
    vary, depending on the location of the well, after cuttings samples
    and drilling data have been analyzed. Any of the various depths
    indicated may be increased or decreased by the Project
    Representative if cuttings and drilling data indicate that more
    favorable strata may be present at different depths than shown on
    the drawings.

## 3.07 WATER-SUPPLY WELL CONSTRUCTION

A.  The open annulus shall be protected from entry of unwanted material
    at all times. The Contractor shall construct and maintain drainage
    berms around the wellhead to prevent surface runoff from reaching
    and entering the well during construction.

B.  After installing well casing, the Contractor shall continue to guard
    against entry of unwanted objects and contaminants into the well
    casing.

C.  In the portion of the well in which the surface casing is to be
    installed, the borehole shall be reamed to the diameter and
    approximate depth shown on the drawings. The surface casing shall be
    installed in the borehole and leveled such that it is straight and
    plumb. The annulus shall be filled with cement as specified from
    total depth to ground surface. The grout shall be allowed to set for
    at least 24 hours, or 12 hours if 2 percent calcium chloride is
    added to the cement mix.

D.  Well casing shall be handled at all times by methods that cause no
    damage. Installation of well casing shall not begin until it has
    been inspected and approved by the NMOSE and all required materials
    are on-site. The casing shall be suspended above the bottom of the
    borehole a sufficient distance to assure that none of the casing is
    supported from the bottom. The weight indicator shall be monitored
    continuously while the casing string is being lowered. At no time
    shall the casing string be placed in compression. The well casing
    shall be fitted with approved centering guides installed at points
    as approved by the Project Representative, refer to section **2.06
    CENTERING GUIDES, GUIDE SHOE, AND WIPER PLUG**. In no case shall the
    centering guides be more that 80 feet apart, in order to center and
    hold the well casing in proper position until the cement is in
    place. The Contractor shall provide appropriate notice to the NMOSE
    Roswell office prior to the installation of well casing, cementing
    of casing, and pressure testing in order for the NMOSE to have an
    inspector on-site.

E.  After completion of drilling and casing installation, the well may
    be acidized to increase capacity. The acid treatment program to be
    used for the well shall be approved by the Project Representative
    prior to any work in this regard. The acidizing may be unnecessary
    if sufficient capacity is encountered in the well drilling prior to
    a depth of 1,050 feet bgs.

F.  Cementing of the well casing shall be done in conformance with NMOSE
    Rules and Regulations regarding construction of wells. The well
    casing, equipped with appropriate centralizers, guide shoe, and
    wiper plug, shall be cemented with neat cement grout as specified
    using the pump and plug method (Halliburton method). All cementing
    equipment and specialized tools shall be operated by personnel
    thoroughly trained in the operation and application of their
    equipment. A minimum volume of cement equal to 125 percent of the
    calculated annular volume (annular volume plus 25 percent) shall be
    pumped. Upon completion of grouting, cement grout shall be visible
    at the ground surface outside the well casing. The grout shall be
    allowed to set for 48 hours, before any further work is performed in
    the well unless a variance is obtained from the NMOSE. The drillable
    plug at the bottom of the surface casing must be drilled out and the
    casing pressure tested to 500 psi in accordance with NMOSE
    regulations and approved by the NMOSE prior to drilling into the
    production zone. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to
    ensure that the work is acceptable to the NMOSE. No additional
    payment shall be made to the Contractor for correcting work that is
    unacceptable to the NMOSE.

G.  In the event that the cement does not circulate back to surface, or
    the cement settles to a depth below the bottom of the surface
    casing, the Contractor shall tremie additional cement into the
    annulus until it is inside the surface casing within 5 feet of
    ground surface prior to drilling into the production zone. The
    cement shall be allowed to set for a minimum of 48 hours prior to
    continuing work.

## 3.08 DRILL CUTTING SAMPLES

A.  One set of cuttings samples shall be collected by the Contractor, as
    directed by the Project Representative, during advancement of the
    pilot hole. Samples shall be taken at intervals no greater than each
    10 feet of drilling; additional samples shall be collected at
    formation changes. Samples shall be collected from the borehole
    discharge with an appropriate sample screen or at the shale shaker
    and immediately placed in oil-field type cloth sample bags. Each bag
    shall be labeled with permanent identification of the well name and
    number, depth interval represented by the sample, and the date.

## 3.09 GEOPHYSICAL LOGS

A.  Upon completion of drilling the pilot hole, the Contractor will
    complete a survey of the entire boring by means of calibrated
    geophysical well-log apparatus. The logs shall be as follows:

    1.  temperature (logged down, first log run)

    2.  caliper (pilot hole and reamed hole)

    3.  mud resistivity (logged down, first log run)

    4.  spontaneous potential

    5.  resistivity (short and long normal)

    6.  full wave-form sonic

    7.  neutron

    8.  gamma-ray

    9.  micro log

    10. deviation

> []{.mark}

C.  The well logs shall have appended to them such information as the
    well name, date, time, and well location; type, weight, resistivity,
    and temperature of drilling fluid; and any other information
    necessary for proper interpretation of the logs.

D.  Four paper copies of each log, in addition to digital files, shall
    be furnished to the Project Representative.

## 3.10 PLUMBNESS AND ALIGNMENT

A.  The completed well shall be sufficiently straight and plumb for the
    free installation and operation of a line-shaft turbine pump
    regularly built for 13-inch casing and shall meet AWWA A100
    specifications for plumbness and alignment from the ground surface
    to the bottom depth of the well casing.

B.  Plumbness and alignment tests shall be conducted with a mechanical
    drift indicator at intervals of no less than 100 feet of depth to
    the total depth of the hole during drilling of the pilot and reamed
    hole.

C.  A maximum deflection of 8 inches per 100 feet (0.4 degree) shall be
    deemed in proper plumbness and alignment. If a deflection higher
    than 8 inches per 100 feet is recorded the Contractor shall at the
    Reclamation's discretion correct the alignment or abandon and
    properly plug the hole at no additional cost to the Reclamation and
    another hole shall be drilled at no additional cost to the
    Reclamation.

D.  In the event that the test pump, or pump selected for permanent
    equipment, cannot be installed to the specified depth of 400 feet
    bgs, or if there is disagreement between the Contractor and
    Reclamation or Reclamation's Representative regarding plumbness and
    alignment, the mechanical drift indicator disc shall be analyzed by
    a service company selected upon agreement between both the
    Contractor and Reclamation. Two copies of the services company's
    interpretation of the survey shall be supplied to Reclamation, and
    this interpretation shall be binding on both parties. This service
    will be provided by the Contractor at no additional cost to
    Reclamation.

E.  Reclamation may modify the requirements for plumbness if in his
    judgment (a) the Contractor has exercised all possible care in
    constructing the well and the defect is due to circumstances beyond
    his control; (b) the utility of the completed well will not be
    materially affected; or (c) the cost of necessary remedial measures
    will be excessive.

F.  To assure that the borehole is started straight and plumb, the
    drilling rig shall be leveled so that the drilling tools hang free
    and plumb in the center of the rotary table. The drilling rig shall
    be supported on jack pads properly designed and constructed so that
    undue settling does not occur. The Contractor shall periodically
    check the drilling rig level and make adjustments necessary to
    correct the level due to settling.

## 3.11 DEVELOPMENT BY AIR-LIFT PUMPING

A.  Upon well completion, the Contractor shall develop the well using
    air-lift pumping methods. Air-lift pumping shall be performed by
    placing the drill pipe, or column pipe, into the well, and blowing
    air through the drill pipe such that formation water will be lifted
    from the well. Air lifting shall proceed until the produced water is
    free of suspended sediment, as approved by the Project
    Representative.

B.  The Contractor shall furnish all plant, materials, and labor
    required to accomplish the development by air lifting. Developing
    will be paid for by the hour at the unit price shown on the Bid
    Schedule. All hours counted toward development of the well will be
    actual time spent in the hole on activities and with appropriate
    equipment as specified. No time will be considered for downtime due
    to improper, inadequate, or malfunctioning equipment, test
    procedures or techniques.

[]{.mark}

C.  The compressor equipment used for this purpose shall be capable of
    producing adequate air flow to lift water and sediment from the
    lower section of the well with a minimum 40-percent airline pumping
    submergence and an airline placement depth estimated at 600 feet
    bgs. Air compressor equipment used for air-lift pumping shall not be
    rated less than 2,700 cubic feet per minute (cfm) at 350 pounds per
    square inch (psi).

D.  Produced water shall be contained by plumbing connected to the
    wellhead such that it can be discharged to locations in accordance
    with the Contractor's SWPPP plan, and approved by the Reclamation's
    Representative. Discharge is to be routed approximately 300 ft to
    fields surrounding the drill site.

## 3.12 DISINFECTION

A.  The Contractor shall follow the well disinfection procedures
    outlined below. Chlorine used for all disinfection shall be
    65-percent HTH granular calcium hypochlorite. Disinfection with
    sodium hypochlorite will not be allowed.

B.  Immediately after well development is complete, the Contractor shall
    disinfect the well. Granular calcium hypochlorite shall be
    distributed evenly throughout the water column with a chlorine
    basket. The chlorine basket shall have a fine mesh exterior and be
    of such design so that is can be lowered on a wire line to the full
    depth of the well and be capable of holding at least 30 pounds of
    chlorine.

C.  The quantity of chlorine used shall be equal to 2.0 pounds for each
    100 feet of water column in the well, sufficient to initially
    produce a chlorine concentration of approximately 100 mg/L. Based on
    the above ratio, the total quantity of chlorine shall be determined
    and placed in the chlorine basket. The basket shall then be run to
    the bottom of the perforated liner on a wire line and slowly
    retrieved through the entire water column. This process shall be
    repeated until all of the chlorine has dissolved. The well shall be
    allowed to set for at least 12 hours prior to running the pump.

D.  During the time interval between disinfection as described above and
    installation of the test pump, the well shall be capped with a
    3/8-inch steel plate securely welded to the casing.

## 3.13 DEVELOPMENT BY PUMPING 

A.  The Contractor shall furnish, install, operate, and remove either a
    submersible pump, or a deep-well turbine pump for developing the
    well. If a deep-well turbine pump is used, the prime mover shall be
    a variable speed type. Development pumping shall be initiated within
    7 days after development by air-lift pumping is complete.

B.  The pump shall have a minimum capacity of 800 gpm at a pumping level
    of 375 ft with a pump setting of approximately 400 ft. The
    contractor shall provide a Mag flow meter capable of instantaneous
    and total flow measurements, valve, and discharge piping capable of
    discharging the produced water to the pit(s) near the well, and as
    the water clears to a point up to 300 ft from the well. The
    Contractor's pump, valve, and equipment must be capable of holding
    the pumping rate to within 2 percent of desired pumping rates.

C.  The initial pumping rate shall be restricted and, as the water
    clears, shall be gradually increased until the maximum rate is
    reached. The maximum rate will be determined by the Project
    Representative after consideration of the well drawdown and
    discharge.

D.  The Contractor shall provide a 1.5-inch PVC sounding tube strapped
    to the discharge pipe column to within 20 feet of the top of the
    pump intake. The Contractor shall also provide a 1,000 ft wire-line
    electric sounder calibrated in increments of not less than 1 foot
    for measuring water levels manually. The wire-line sounder shall not
    contain wire which is stretched or no longer provides accurate
    measurements.

E.  At intervals determined by the Project Representative the pump shall
    be stopped to allow surging of the well. The cycle of pumping and
    surging shall be repeated until the discharged water is clean of
    sand, silt, and mud and until there is no increase in specific
    capacity during at least 2 hours of continuous pumping and surging.
    It is anticipated that development pumping will be performed for 8
    hours, followed by a 12 hour period for water level recovery.

F.  The Contractor shall keep independent records of pumping time, flow
    rate, pumping level, sand production, and other discharge
    characteristics.

## 3.14 TEST PUMPING 

A.  Test pumping shall consist of an 800-minute step-drawdown test
    (four, 200-minute steps), and, at minimum, a 24 hour constant-rate
    test, and associated recovery tests. Water-level data will be
    collected with the transducer and data logger provided by the
    Project Representative. Pumping rates shall be maintained to within
    2 percent of the desired rate specified by the Project
    Representative.

B.  The Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment, materials, and
    maintenance to make a complete pumping test of the well within 48
    hours following development work by pumping. The test pumping
    equipment shall have a capacity not less than specified in
    **Section** **3.13 Development by Pumping.** Check valves acceptable
    to the Project Representative shall be used to prevent back flushing
    of the discharge piping.

C.  Upon completion of development pumping, a step-drawdown pumping test
    shall be conducted. The test shall not begin until the well has been
    shut down at least 12 hours or until 95-percent water level recovery
    has been achieved.

    -   The step test shall consist of four, 200-minute pumping periods,
        such that a total of 800 minutes (13.3 hours) of pumping is
        accomplished at four successively higher rates. The pumping
        rates shall be determined by the Project Representative.

    -   The step test consists of 800 minutes of uninterrupted time. Any
        time incurred for restarts or delays caused by mechanical or
        other failures will not be considered part of the test time and
        will be at no additional cost to Reclamation.

D.  Upon completion of a minimum 12 hour recovery period after the
    step-drawdown pumping test, a 24-hour constant-rate pumping test
    shall be conducted, followed by at least a 24-hour water-level
    recovery period or until 95-percent water level recovery has been
    achieved. The pump may not be pulled from the well until the
    recovery period has ended.

    -   The pumping rate for the constant rate test shall be near the
        maximum capacity, as determined by the previous step test,
        approved by the Project Representative. The pumping rate shall
        be held constant for the entire period.

E.  If the pump is shut off for any reason during the pumping portion of
    the test, it shall remain shut off for 12 hours or until 95-percent
    water level recovery has been achieved and the complete test rerun
    at no additional expense to Reclamation.

F.  Upon completion of the test, results shall be turned over to the
    Project Representative for analysis.

G.  Upon removal of the test pump, the Contractor shall allow the well
    to set for at least 48 hours prior to performing the video survey.

    water samples from the well for bacteriological testing. Residual
    chlorine must be non-detectable at the time of sampling.
    Bacteriological testing shall be performed and approved results
    received prior to the completion of pumping. Bacteriological tests
    shall include the following:

> 1\. total coliform
>
> 2\. total place count

C.  The water shall be deemed unacceptable if coliform bacteria are
    present.

D.  It is Contractor's responsibility to see that the well is so tested
    and, if unacceptable, disinfect the well again. Disinfection and
    subsequent testing shall continue at the Contractor's expense until
    test results are approved, indicating acceptable conditions. The
    pump shall not be removed from the well until results are approved.

E.  [Inorganic and Organic Analysis]{.underline}: The Contractor shall
    collect samples for water-quality analysis of inorganic and organic
    parameters listed to assess general water quality. Samples shall be
    submitted to Hall Environmental Analysis Laboratories in
    Albuquerque, New Mexico, or other approved analytical laboratory.
    All samples shall be collected in properly preserved bottles
    provided by the laboratory. Reclamation's Representative must be
    present during sample collection. Samples shall be stored
    immediately on ice or blue ice after collection and remain so stored
    until received by the laboratory. All laboratory holding times for
    sample preservation shall be followed. Laboratory detection limits

  ----------------------- ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------

\(a\) Definition. \"Work\" includes, but is not limited to, materials,
workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

\(b\) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and
perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under
the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall
maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the
Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of
the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test
at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure
strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

\(c\) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the
Government and do not\--

> \(1\) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate
> quality control measures;
>
> \(2\) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss
> of the material before acceptance;
>
> \(3\) Constitute or imply acceptance; or
>
> \(4\) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance
> of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

\(d\) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve
the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector
authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without
the Contracting Officer\'s written authorization.

\(e\) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract
price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for
performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be
required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the
Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not
ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or
when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The
Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will
not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance
tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

\(f\) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work
found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless
in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with
an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall
promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

\(g\) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected
work, the Government may\--

> \(1\) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge
> the cost to the Contractor; or
>
> \(2\) terminate for default the Contractor\'s right to proceed.

\(h\) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides
to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the
Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities,
labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or
nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor
or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the
examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is
found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make
an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the
examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was
thereby delayed, an extension of time.

\(i\) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall
accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all
work required by the contract or that portion of the work the
Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance
shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross
mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government\'s rights under any
warranty or guarantee.

\(a\) The Contractor shall, within five days after the work commences on
the contract or another period of time determined by the Contracting
Officer, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer for approval
three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the
Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the
Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient
features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and
equipment). The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of
suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work
scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the
Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the
Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the
Contractor submits the required schedule.

\(b\) The Contractor shall enter the actual progress on the chart as
directed by the Contracting Officer, and upon doing so shall immediately
deliver three copies of the annotated schedule to the Contracting
Officer. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor
falls behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall take steps
necessary to improve its progress, including those that may be required
by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government.
In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor
to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work,
and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any
supplementary schedule or schedules in chart form as the Contracting
Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress
will be regained.

\(c\) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the
Contracting Officer under this clause shall be grounds for a
determination by the Contracting Officer that the Contractor is not
prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion
within the time specified in the contract. Upon making this
determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor\'s
right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in
accordance with the default terms of this contract.

\(b\) (1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the
requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR
database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment
of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket
purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of
this solicitation.

\(f\) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of
the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from
the Government\'s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain
registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the
Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the
date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in
the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.
Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions
of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed
contractual document.

\(g\) (1) (i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name,
\"doing business as\" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the
contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the

shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one
business day\'s written notification of its intention to (A) change the
name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart
42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and
procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The
Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation

> registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the
> Contractor\'s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made
> by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be
> considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the
> \"Suspension of payment\" paragraph of the EFT clause of this
> contract.

  ----------------------- ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------

\(a\) Definition.

\"HUBZone small business concern,\" as used in this clause, means a
small business concern that appears on the List of Qualified HUBZone
Small Business Concerns maintained by the Small Business Administration.

\(b\) Evaluation preference. (1) Offers will be evaluated by adding a
factor of 10 percent to the price of all offers, except\--

> \(i\) Offers from HUBZone small business concerns that have not waived
> the evaluation preference; and
>
> \(ii\) Otherwise successful offers from small business concerns;
>
> \(iii\) Otherwise successful offers of eligible products under the
> Trade Agreements Act when the dollar threshold for application of the
> Act is exceeded (see 25.402 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation
> (FAR)); and
>
> \(iv\) Otherwise successful offers where application of the factor
> would be inconsistent with a Memorandum of Understanding or other
> international agreement with a foreign government.
>
> \(2\) The factor of 10 percent shall be applied on a line item basis
> or to any group of items on which award may be made. Other evaluation
> factors described in the solicitation shall be applied before
> application of the factor.
>
> \(3\) A concern that is both a HUBZone small business concern and a
> small disadvantaged business concern will receive the benefit of both
> the HUBZone small business price evaluation preference and the small
> disadvantaged business price evaluation adjustment (see FAR clause
> 52.219-23). Each applicable price evaluation preference or adjustment
> shall be calculated independently against an offeror\'s base
>
> offer. These individual preference amounts shall be added together to
> arrive at the total evaluated price for that offer.

\(c\) Waiver of evaluation preference. A HUBZone small business concern
may elect to waive the evaluation preference, in which case the factor
will be added to its offer for evaluation purposes. The agreements in
paragraph (d) of this clause do not apply if the offeror has waived the
evaluation preference.

> \[ \] Offeror elects to waive the evaluation preference.

\(d\) Agreement. A HUBZone small business concern agrees that in the
performance of the contract, in the case of a contract for\--

> \(1\) Services (except construction), at least 50 percent of the cost
> of personnel for contract performance will be spent for employees of
> the concern or employees of other HUBZone small business concerns;
>
> \(2\) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such
> supplies), at least 50 percent of the cost of manufacturing, excluding
> the cost of materials, will be performed by the concern or other
> HUBZone small business concerns;
>
> \(3\) General construction, at least 15 percent of the cost of the
> contract performance incurred for personnel will be spent on the
> concern\'s employees or the employees of other HUBZone small business
> concerns; or
>
> \(4\) Construction by special trade contractors, at least 25 percent
> of the cost of the contract performance incurred for personnel will be
> spent on the concern\'s employees or the employees of other HUBZone
> small business concerns.

\(e\) A HUBZone joint venture agrees that in the performance of the
contract, the applicable percentage specified in paragraph (d) of this
clause will be performed by the HUBZone small business participant or
participants.

\(f\) A HUBZone small business concern nonmanufacturer agrees to furnish
in performing this contract only end items manufactured or produced by
HUBZone small business manufacturer concerns. This paragraph does not
apply in connection with construction or service contracts.

current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office by
e-mail, or otherwise in writing, that the data have been validated or
updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

\(f\) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small
business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may,
but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or
(g) of this clause.

\(g\) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications
in ORCA, or does not have a representation in ORCA for the NAICS code
applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the
following representation and submit it to the contracting office, along
with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was
completed:

> construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts
> or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site.
> Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not
> construction material.
>
> \"Cost of components\" means-
>
> \(1\) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition
> cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation
> into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to
> a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free

> of the construction material.
>
> \"Domestic construction material\" means-
>
> \(1\) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the
> United States; or
>
> \(2\) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if
> the cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the

>
> \"Foreign construction material\" means a construction material other
> than a domestic construction material.
>
> \"United States\" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and
> outlying areas.

\(b\) Domestic preference. (1) This clause implements the Buy American
Act (41 U.S.C. 10a - 10d) by providing a preference for domestic
construction material. The Contractor shall use only domestic
construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in
paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

> \(2\) This requirement does not apply to the construction material or
> components listed by the Government as follows: None
>
> \(3\) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction
> material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the
> Government determines that-
>
> \(i\) The cost of domestic construction material would be
> unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material
> subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable
> when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by
> more than 6 percent;
>
> \(ii\) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a
> particular construction material would be impracticable or
> inconsistent with the public interest; or
>
> \(iii\) The construction material is not mined, produced, or
> manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably
> available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

\(c\) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American
Act.

> (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in

> \(iii\) The price of construction material shall include all delivery
> costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not
> a duty-free certificate may be issued).
>
> \(iv\) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after
> contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably
> foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested
> the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not
> submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not
> make a determination.
>
> \(2\) If the Government determines after contract award that an
> exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer
> and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting
> Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign
> construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is
> the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate
> consideration is not less than the differential established in
> paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.
>
> \(3\) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy
> American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is
> non-compliant with the Buy American Act or Balance of Payments
> Program.

clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the
following information and any applicable supporting data based on the

\(a\) Definitions. \"Construction material,\" \"domestic construction
material,\" and \"foreign construction material,\" as used in this
provision, are defined in the clause of this solicitation entitled \"Buy
American Act-Construction Materials\" (Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) clause 52.225-9).

\(b\) Requests for determinations of inapplicability. An offeror
requesting a determination regarding the inapplicability of the Buy
American Act should submit the request to the Contracting Officer in
time to allow a determination before submission of offers. The offeror
shall include the information and applicable supporting data required by
paragraphs (c) and (d) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 in the request. If
an offeror has not requested a determination regarding the
inapplicability of the Buy American Act before submitting its offer, or
has not received a response to a previous request, the offeror shall
include the information and supporting data in the offer.

\(c\) Evaluation of offers. (1) The Government will evaluate an offer
requesting exception to the requirements of the Buy American Act based
on claimed unreasonable cost of domestic construction material, by
adding to the offered price the appropriate percentage of the cost of
such foreign construction material, as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i)
of the clause at FAR 52.225-9.

> \(2\) If evaluation results in a tie between an offeror that requested
> the substitution of foreign construction material based on
> unreasonable cost and an offeror that did not request an exception,
> the Contracting Officer will award to the offeror that did not request
> an exception based on unreasonable cost.

\(d\) Alternate offers. (1) When an offer includes foreign construction
material not listed by the Government in this solicitation in paragraph
(b)(2) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9, the offeror also may submit an
alternate offer based on use of equivalent domestic construction
material.

> \(2\) If an alternate offer is submitted, the offeror shall submit a
> separate Standard Form 1442 for the alternate offer, and a separate
> price comparison table prepared in accordance with paragraphs (c) and
> (d) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 for the offer that is based on the
> use of any foreign construction material for which the Government has
> not yet determined an exception applies.
>
> \(3\) If the Government determines that a particular exception
> requested in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR
> 52.225-9 does not apply, the Government will evaluate only those
> offers based on use of the equivalent domestic construction material,
> and the offeror shall be required to furnish such domestic
> construction material. An offer based on use of the foreign
> construction material for which an exception was requested-
>
> \(i\) Will be rejected as nonresponsive if this acquisition is
> conducted by sealed bidding; or
>
> \(ii\) May be accepted if revised during negotiations.

  ------------------------ ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------

\(a\) Method of payment. (1) All payments by the Government under this
contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT), except as
provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this clause. As used in this clause, the
term \"EFT\" refers to the funds transfer and may also include the
payment information transfer.

> \(2\) In the event the Government is unable to release one or more
> payments by EFT, the Contractor agrees to either-
>
> \(i\) Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method
> of payment; or
>
> \(ii\) Request the Government to extend the payment due date until
> such time as the Government can make payment by EFT (but see paragraph
> (d) of this clause).

\(b\) Contractor\'s EFT information. The Government shall make payment
to the Contractor using the EFT information contained in the Central
Contractor Registration (CCR) database. In the event that the EFT
information changes, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing
the updated information to the CCR database.

\(c\) Mechanisms for EFT payment. The Government may make payment by EFT
through either the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, subject to
the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, or the
Fedwire Transfer System. The rules governing Federal payments through
the ACH are contained in 31 CFR part 210.

\(d\) Suspension of payment. If the Contractor\'s EFT information in the
CCR database is incorrect, then the Government need not make payment to
the Contractor under this contract until correct EFT information is
entered into the CCR database; and any invoice or contract financing
request shall be deemed not to be a proper invoice for the purpose of
prompt payment under this contract. The prompt payment terms of the
contract regarding notice of an improper invoice and delays in accrual
of interest penalties apply.

\(e\) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers. (1)If an
uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Government used the
Contractor\'s EFT information incorrectly, the Government remains
responsible for-

> \(i\) Making a correct payment;
>
> \(ii\) Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and
>
> \(iii\) Recovering any erroneously directed funds.
>
> \(2\) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the
> Contractor\'s EFT information was incorrect, or was revised within 30
> days of Government release of the EFT payment transaction instruction
> to the Federal Reserve System, and-
>
> \(i\) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment
> office, the Government is deemed to have made payment and the
> Contractor is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed
> funds; or
>
> \(ii\) If the funds remain under the control of the payment office,
> the Government shall not make payment, and the provisions of paragraph
> (d) of this clause shall apply.

\(f\) EFT and prompt payment. A payment shall be deemed to have been
made in a timely manner in accordance with the prompt payment terms of
this contract if, in the EFT payment transaction instruction released to
the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the
payment is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the
specified payment date is a valid date under the rules of the Federal
Reserve System.

\(g\) EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the
proceeds of this contract as provided for in the assignment of claims
terms of this contract, the Contractor shall require as a condition of
any such assignment, that the assignee shall register separately in the
CCR database and shall be paid by EFT in accordance with the terms of
this clause. Notwithstanding any other requirement of this contract,
payment to an ultimate recipient other than the Contractor, or a
financial institution properly recognized under an assignment of claims
pursuant to Subpart 32.8, is not permitted. In all respects, the
requirements of this clause shall apply to the assignee as if it were
the Contractor. EFT information that shows the ultimate recipient of the
transfer to be other than the Contractor, in the absence of a proper
assignment of claims acceptable to the Government, is incorrect EFT
information within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this clause.

\(h\) Liability for change of EFT information by financial agent. The
Government is not liable for errors resulting from changes to EFT
information made by the Contractor\'s financial agent.

\(i\) Payment information. The payment or disbursing office shall
forward to the Contractor available payment information that is suitable
for transmission as of the date of release of the EFT instruction to the
Federal Reserve System. The Government may request the Contractor to
designate a desired format and method(s) for delivery of payment
information from a list of formats and methods the payment office is
capable of executing. However, the Government does not guarantee that
any particular format or method of delivery is available at any
particular payment office and retains the latitude to use the format and
delivery method most convenient to the Government. If the Government
makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause,
the Government shall mail the payment information to the remittance
address contained in the CCR database.

\(c\) Contractor Employee Suitability and Issuance of Government
Identification Cards:

> \(1\) Performance of this contract requires Contractor personnel to
> have a Federal Government-issued Personal Identification Verification
> (PIV) Card before being allowed unsupervised access to a
> Federally-controlled facility or information system.
>
> \(2\) At the Government\'s sole discretion, the Government may issue a
> temporary identification card or visitor identification badge, in lieu
> of a PIV Card, under one of the following conditions:
>
> \(i\) The individual will only be associated with Reclamation for a
> period of 180 days or less, will not have access to sensitive
> information, and any access to a Controlled Access Area or
> Federal-controlled information system will be fully supervised. The
> 180 calendar day period begins on the first day of the individual\'s
> affiliation with Reclamation (in this case, the date that the
> individual\'s contract performance begins) and ends exactly 180 days
> later, regardless of the number of times the individual actually
> accesses a Government facility or information system.
>
> \(ii\) The individual will only have sporadic access to Federal
> facilities and information systems, will not have access to sensitive
> information, and any access to a Reclamation Controlled Access Area or
> Federal-controlled information system will be fully supervised.
>
> \(iii\) The individual will work exclusively outdoors, will not have
> access to sensitive information, and any access to a Reclamation
> Controlled Access Area or Federal-controlled information system will
> be fully supervised.
>
> \(iv\) In paragraphs (i) through (iii), supervised access means the
> individual\'s access to, and movement within, a facility is monitored
> and controlled sufficiently to prevent access to any unauthorized
> areas, equipment, or information; and the individual\'s access to an
> information system is monitored and controlled sufficiently to ensure
> appropriate use of the system and information, and to prevent access
> to any unauthorized systems or information. Supervision must be
> performed by an individual with an active Government-issued PIV Card.
>
> \(3\) The Contractor shall furnish to the COR an alphabetical list of
> contract personnel, to include subcontractors, who will require access
> to a Government facility or information system. The list shall provide
> the full name, social security number, date of birth, place of birth,
> purpose or job title, and the estimated duration of access. If the
> Contractor believes an individual should be issued a temporary
> identification card or visitor identification badge in lieu of a PIV
> Card based on the conditions in paragraph (4), then the Contractor
> must also submit a sufficient written justification as to why the
> specific individual or individuals will not need a PIV Card. The
> Contractor shall provide this information before the start of contract
> performance, or before the start of an individual\'s performance when
> there is a change or addition of personnel, with sufficient time to
> ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with
> credentialing processes.
>
> \(4\) Any contract employees that will be issued a temporary
> identification card or visitor identification badge, in lieu of a PIV
> Card, at the Government\'s sole discretion, will be subject to the
> following credentialing procedures:
>
> Temporary badges are not anticipated for this contract.
>
> \(5\) Any contract employees that will be issued a PIV Card will be
> subject to the following credentialing procedures:
>
> \(i\) For Contractor employees needing a PIV Card, as determined by
> the Government, the CO or COR will provide the appropriate background
> investigation forms to the Contractor, or initiate the electronic
> background investigation process, and give the Contractor instructions
> for completing the background investigation, fingerprinting, and PIV
> Card process. After the background investigation forms are completed,
> each Contractor employee shall be required to appear in person before
> a Government PIV Registrar to submit the background investigation
> forms, have personal identity verification documents verified, have a
> photograph taken, and sign the PIV Card Request Form. The Contractor
> must make its personnel available at the place and time specified by
> the COR in order to initiate this process. The following forms shall
> be used to initiate the background investigation and PIV process: OPM
> Standard Form 85, 85P, or 86; OF 306; Fingerprint Card FD-258; Fair
> Credit Reporting Act Authorization Form; and PIV Card Request Form
> (paper or web-based).
>
> \(ii\) The cost of completing and submitting the above forms,
> including any charges for obtaining fingerprints, shall be borne by
> the Contractor. The cost of the background investigation shall be
> borne by Reclamation.
>
> \(iii\) Contractor employees are required to give, and to authorize
> others to give, full, frank, and truthful answers to relevant and
> material questions needed to reach a suitability determination.
> Refusal or failure to furnish or authorize provision of information
> may constitute grounds for denial or revocation of credentials.
> Government personnel may contact the Contractor personnel being
> investigated in person, by telephone, or in writing, and the
> Contractor agrees to make them available for such contact.
>
> \(iv\) For each Contractor employee that will be issued a PIV Card,
> the Government will conduct a background investigation. The level of
> background investigation for each Contractor employee will be
> determined by the Government based on the risk and sensitivity levels
> as described in Reclamation\'s Personnel Security and Suitability
> Directives and Standards,\" SLE 01-01, which is available at
> http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle. At a minimum, each
> Contractor employee that will be issued a PIV Card will receive a
> National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) Background
> Investigation. The minimum standards which will be used in suitability
> determinations are contained in the DOI Departmental Manual Part 441,
> Chapter 5, which is available at
> http://elips.doi.gov/app_dm/act_getfiles.cfm?relnum=3290.
>
> \(v\) Each Contractor employee in a position designated as higher than
> Low Risk Non-Sensitive shall be reinvestigated on a periodic basis as
> described in Reclamation\'s Personnel Security and Suitability
> Directives and Standards. A reinvestigation may also be initiated when
> the Contractor or the Government believes that a particular
> individual\'s continued ability to meet the contract\'s minimum
> standards is in question.
>
> \(vi\) If a Contractor employee has worked under a Federal agency
> contract within the past two years, and that contract required a
> successfully-adjudicated background investigation at the same risk
> level as (or higher than) this contract, further investigation may not
> be necessary. The Contractor shall provide the COR with documentation
> that supports the individual\'s previous contract work and any
> information, including name and social security number, date of birth,
> and place of birth, needed for Government verification of previous
> background investigation.
>
> \(vii\) If the final adjudication is unfavorable on a Contractor
> employee, or if Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be
> unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the CO will direct
> the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access
> to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are
> occurring. In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and
> the Government concerning the suitability of a particular employee to
> perform work under this contract, the Government shall have the right
> of final determination. Determinations under this requirement are
> subject to the Disputes Clause. Failure of the Contractor to comply
> with the requirements of this clause could constitute grounds for
> termination for default.
>
> \(viii\) Reclamation will not allow a Contractor employee access to
> their investigation files. An individual may request, under the
> provisions of the Privacy Act and/or Freedom of Information Act,
> copies of their files from the investigative agency (Office of
> Personnel Management). Reclamation will not release a copy of any
> investigative file, in whole or part, to the Contractor or any
> Contractor representative.
>
> \(ix\) Upon completion of a favorably-adjudicated background
> investigation, Contractor employees will be issued a Government PIV
> Card. When the PIV Card is printed, each Contractor employee shall be
> required to appear in person before the Reclamation PIV Card Issuer
> for identity verification, to sign the PIV Request Form, and receipt
> of the PIV Card.

\(d\) Site Security Requirements

> \(1\) General Description. This section provides provisions to ensure

> security personnel may be assigned to control access, secure materials
> or activities at the work site, or escort Contractor personnel in CAAs
> or other sensitive areas. Personnel may include security managers,
> security guards, security contractors acting as agents of the
> Government, law enforcement personnel, or others. These individuals
> may be used to ensure the overall security and integrity of the site
> or building and may provide controlled access to designated CAAs.
> These individuals may conduct inspection of all workers, vehicles,
> equipment, or materials entering, or re-entering the work site. The
> inspection may be done with walk-through and/or hand-held metal
> detectors or by other means as may be deemed necessary by Reclamation.
>
> \(3\) Contractor Guard Force. At the Contractor\'s sole discretion,
> and at the Contractor\'s own expense, with prior written Government
> approval, a Contractor may be authorized to hire its own guards to
> secure Contractor-owned equipment and/or to protect Contractor
> employees or subcontractors. If such a relationship is permitted, the
> Contractor shall be exclusively liable for all guard activities to
> include action or inaction of Contractor\'s guard personnel. The
> Government will not offer nor provide any indemnification. Contractor
> shall be solely responsible for guards at all times to include any
> supervision, oversight, and for the development of local guard orders
> and or procedures. The Contractor shall be responsible for
> coordinating all guard activities with the COR and shall develop and
> submit to the COR, for advance approval, any guard orders and/or guard
> procedures.

> resolutions shall be borne by Contractor, except when alleged
> violations of established security requirements, after investigation,
> are found not to be the fault of the Contractor.
>
> \(x\) Briefings. Contractor personnel who will be assigned to this
> project, and who will have access to the work site, may be required to

> Upon entering the work site, vehicles and drivers may be subject to
> search and inspection. The Contractor shall obtain authorization from
> the COR to park the Contractor\'s official vehicles and motorized
> vehicular construction equipment that are required/desired to be
> parked on the work site. Vehicles in violation may be towed off the
> work site at the Contractor\'s expense. Where Government-designated
> employee parking is not available, parking of construction employees\'
> automobiles and similar transportation vehicles may be excluded from
> the work site. It is the Contractor\'s responsibility to arrange for
> suitable accommodation for these vehicles.
>
> \(xiii\) Prohibited/Restricted Items. Prohibited/restricted items and
> activities on the work site include but are not limited to the

> of explosives in accordance with regulations and guidance provided by
> Federal, State, and local authorities. The storage of explosives shall
> be in accordance with requirements of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
> and Firearms or the State in which they are stored. If onsite storage
> of explosives is necessary, explosives shall be stored at a
> pre-designated, secure site approved by the COR. Prior to Government
> approval of storage, the Contractor shall develop and submit to the
> COR a complete storage/security/retrieval plan for approval. The
> storage/security plan can be included in a \"Blasting Safety Plan.\"
> The plan shall make accommodations for surveillance, detection, and
> response. Explosives firing systems shall be stored off-site and under
> no circumstances shall be stored together with explosives.

> audit to safeguard against threats and hazards to the integrity,
> availability, and confidentiality of Reclamation data or to the
> function of computer systems operated on behalf of Reclamation, and to
> preserve evidence of computer crime. If the Contractor has a question
> regarding the access rights or identity of Government employees
> requesting access to Contractor-operated IT facilities, it should be
> referred to the COR for resolution before access is granted.
>
> \(3\) In addition to the notification requirements (b)(4), the
> Contractor shall immediately notify the COR, of all cyber-related
> incidents (including the compromise of Contractor- or Government-owned

  ----------------------- ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------

The Government intends to evaluate proposals submitted under this
solicitation and select a source for contract award without discussions
(unless the contracting officer later determines discussions to be
necessary) in accordance with the following provision: FAR 52.215-1
Instructions to Offerors \-- Competitive Acquisition (JAN 2004). Source
selection shall be in accordance with procedures contained in FAR Part
15, Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulation (DIAR) Part 1415
(48 CFR 1415) and Bureau of Reclamation Acquisition Regulation WBR Part
1415. These procedures are summarized as follows:

\(a\) Technical evaluation. Technical proposals are considered to be
part of offers as to technical performance. A Technical Proposal
Evaluation Committee has been established to objectively evaluate
technical proposals in accordance with the Evaluation Factors for Award
\-- Bureau of Reclamation provision in Part IV, Section M of this
solicitation. Technical proposals shall be submitted in accordance with
the Technical Proposal Instructions \-- Bureau of Reclamation provision
in Part IV, Section L of this solicitation.

\(b\) Past Performance Evaluation. In addition to any other past
performance information required under the solicitation, the Contracting
Officer (CO) shall use past performance information available from the
Past Performance Information Retrieval system (PPIRS.GOV) in the source
selection process on offerors competing for awards in excess of
\$100,000, unless the CO has documented an exception from past
performance consideration in accordance with FAR 15.304(c)(2)(iv).

\(c\) Clarifications. Clarifications are limited exchanges, between the
Government and offerors, that may occur when award without discussions
is contemplated. If award will be made without conducting discussions,
offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of
proposals (e.g., the relevance of an offeror\'s past performance
information and adverse past performance information to which the
offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve
minor or clerical errors.

\(d\) Communications. Communications are exchanges, between the
Government and offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to
establishment of the competitive range. Communications may be conducted
to enhance Government understanding of proposals, allow reasonable
interpretation of the proposal, or facilitate the Government\'s
evaluation process. Such communications may not be used to cure proposal
deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter the technical or
cost elements of the proposal, and/or otherwise revise the proposal.
Communications are for the purpose of addressing issues that must be
explored to determine whether a proposal should be placed in the
competitive range. They shall not provide an opportunity for the offeror
to revise its proposal, but may address ambiguities in the proposal or
other concerns and information relating to past performance.

\(e\) Competitive range. If discussions are to be conducted, the
contracting officer shall establish the competitive range based on the
ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria. The
competitive range shall comprise all the most highly rated proposals,
unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency. The
contracting officer may determine that the number of most highly rated
proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range
exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted.
The contracting officer may then limit the number of proposals in the
range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition
among the most highly rated proposals. If, after discussions have begun
(see paragraph (g) below), an offeror originally in the competitive
range is no longer considered to be among the most highly rated offerors
being considered for award, that offeror may be eliminated from the
range whether or not all material aspects of the proposal have been
discussed, or whether or not the offeror has been afforded an
opportunity to submit a proposal revision.

\(f\) Preaward debriefing of offerors. Offerors excluded from the
competitive range or otherwise excluded from further consideration prior
to the final source selection decision may request a debriefing before
award. The process for requesting and conducting preaward debriefings
may be found at FAR 15.505.

\(g\) Discussions. Discussions are exchanges between the Government and
offerors, after establishment of the competitive range, that are
undertaken with the intent of allowing the offeror to revise its
proposal. These discussions may include bargaining, including
persuasion, alteration of assumptions and positions, give-and-take, and
may apply to price, schedule, technical requirements, type of contract,
or other terms of a proposed contract. Discussions are tailored to each
offeror\'s proposal, and shall be conducted by the contracting officer
with each offeror within the competitive range. The primary objective of
discussions is to maximize the Government\'s ability to obtain best
value, based on the requirement and the evaluation factors set forth in
the solicitation.

\(h\) Proposal revisions. The contracting officer may request or allow
proposal revisions to clarify and document understandings reached during
negotiations. At the conclusion of discussions, each offeror in the
competitive range shall be given an opportunity to submit a final
proposal revision. The contracting officer is required to establish a
common cut-off date only for receipt of final proposal revisions.
Requests for final proposal revisions shall advise offerors that the
final proposal revisions shall be in writing and that the Government
intends to make award without obtaining further revisions.

\(i\) Preaward survey. A Government survey activity may contact an
offeror, or visit its facility, to obtain information for determining
its financial resources and/or its technical capabilities to perform the
work when available information is not sufficient for the Contracting
Officer to make a determination regarding contractor responsibility as
required by FAR Subpart 9.1. Current financial statements and other
information required to make this determination shall be made available
to the survey activity. Information provided shall be protected from
release or disclosure outside the Government, except as provided in FAR
Subpart 24.2, Freedom of Information Act.

\(j\) Organizational conflicts of interest. Award will not be made to an
apparent successful offeror when an organizational conflict of interest
is determined to exist and cannot be avoided or mitigated, unless the
Contracting Officer determines that award is in the best interest of the
United States and a waiver is obtained pursuant to DIAR 1409.503 (48 CFR
1409.503).

\(k\) Source selection decision. The source selection authority\'s (SSA)
decision shall be based on a comparative assessment of proposals against
all source selection criteria in the solicitation. While the SSA may use
reports and criteria prepared by others, the source selection decision
shall represent the SSA\'s independent judgment. The source selection
decision shall be documented, and the documentation shall include the
rationale for any business judgments and tradeoffs made or relied on by
the SSA, including benefits associated with additional costs. Although
the rationale for the selection decision must be documented, that
documentation need not quantify the tradeoffs that led to the decision.

\(l\) Postaward notice. After contract award, unsuccessful offerors will
be provided with written notice regarding contract award (including the
information listed in FAR 15.503(b)) by the Contracting Officer.
Offerors receiving prior notice of exclusion from the competitive range
under paragraph (f) of this provision will not receive this notice.

\(m\) Postaward debriefing of offerors. An offeror shall be debriefed
and furnished the basis for the source selection decision and contract
award if its written request is received by the contracting officer
within three days after the offeror receives notice of contract award.
The process for requesting and conducting postaward debriefings may be
found at FAR 15.506.

Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be
in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers
for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the
total price for the basic requirement. In this solicitation, prices for
Optional Items within the Schedules will be added to the Total Amount of
the Proposal to obtain the evaluated price for each schedule. The
evaluated prices for each schedule will be compared between offerors,
and in addition, the evaluated price for Schedule III will be compared
to the sum of the evaluated prices for Schedules I and II for each
individual offeror. Evaluation of options will not obligate the
Government to exercise the options.

determined by the Contracting Officer to be \"technically unacceptable\"
as a result of evaluating all factors other than cost or price, the
proposal may be rejected from further consideration. The Contracting
Officer reserves the right to make award to lower cost/price,
lower-scored offeror, or a higher-rated, higher-cost/price offeror based
on a rational tradeoff between evaluation factors other than cost or
price and cost or price. Since technical proposals are being solicited
to obtain information to be used in the evaluation, the Government
reserves the right to use information outside of the proposal to
evaluate the capability of offerors and the value of offers.

\(c\) Pursuant to FAR 15.305, a cost or price evaluation may be
performed to determine the reasonableness of costs/prices proposed and
the offeror\'s understanding of, and ability to perform, the prospective
contract.

\(d\) The following factors and significant subfactors (if listed) will
be considered in evaluating proposals and making the source selection:

**[Factors and Subfactors:]{.underline}**

**Factor 1: Adequacy of the proposed equipment to perform the work** --
The equipment identified in the offeror's proposal will be evaluated to
determine its adequacy to drill the diameter and depth of well
specified.

**Factor 2: Schedule** -- The proposed drilling program and schedule
(e.g. length of time required for drilling and schedule of when work can
be performed) will be evaluated to determine the timing most
advantageous to the Government. It is our goal to complete all wells by
October 2008; however proposed dates for completion beyond that time
will be considered.

**Factor 3: Past Performance** -- the Government will evaluate the
quality of the offeror's past performance on similar projects within the
last two years. The assessment of the offeror's past performance will be
used to evaluate the relative capability of the offeror to successfully
meet the requirements of the solicitation.

\(e\) The relative importance of the factors listed in paragraph (d) of
this provision is as follows: Adequacy of the Equipment; Schedule; and
Past Performance. The evaluation factors are listed in descending order
of importance with the most important factor listed first. All
evaluation factors, other than cost or price, when combined are
approximately equal to cost or price.

\(f\) Awards will be made for the construction of all wells included in
the solicitation. Awards will be made using Schedules I, II, and III if
it is determined that award to separate offerors is the most
advantageous to the Government. The award will be made using Schedule IV
if it is determined that award to a single offeror is the most
advantageous to the Government.
