Clarification was provided that steel casing can be used in place of PVC, perforated pipe is acceptable for well screens, and the well is simply a water well rather than an artesian well. A 12-24 hour pump test with full water quality testing is requested to meet standards. Drilling outflow into a catch basin is permitted.

In consideration of the subject matter, we kindly request your esteemed consideration for the possibility of providing some additional information to facilitate our ability to meticulously formulate a comprehensive and tailored proposal that aligns perfectly with the distinct requirements. After conducting the site visit, we would like to request a clarification regarding the following :
· Regarding the requirement of PVC casing, we very rarely ever use PVC casing due to the fact you can’t push on PVC casing, if we need to push on casing due to any borehole collapsing , we typically use steel casing, does well have to be PVC casing?
Answer: steel casing may be used.
· Regarding the wire wrapped screen, it wouldn’t adapt well with PVC casing.
Answer: Perforated pipe may be used for the well screen.
· Specs ask for an artesian well which we wouldn’t have known control over that happening.
Answer: It is just a water well.
· Due to the water quality standards asked for, do you want the same 12 or 24 hour pump test with full lab testing like done for a non-transient community well or is the 2 hour pump test ok for standards asked for with a ecoli ,coliform, nitrate , nitrite, turbidity , iron , ph. , hardness test sufficient for the water quality standards asked for?
Answer: 12 or 24 hour pump test is requested.
· Is outflow from drilling ok going into channeled area that is leading to catch basin?
Answer: Yes.
· Test well is listed lump sum is there a maximum depth footage you are willing to drill to try to achieve the 40 GPM in the event we don’t hit 40 GPM?
Answer: Drill up to 300 linear feet.
