Attachment 6 - Questions and Answers.pdf

This is a Questions and Answers document from a Forest Service contract opportunity regarding well construction specifications.

The document addresses a single clarification question regarding well structure materials for the project. A contractor inquired whether polyvinyl chloride (PVC) well casing would be acceptable if it complied with Montana well construction standards, or if steel casing was mandatory. The Forest Service provided a definitive answer that steel casing is required for the well. This specification establishes a material requirement that supersedes alternative construction materials, even if those alternatives meet applicable state standards.
