1.2 Background: In August 2022, a 200-year (0.5% annual chance of exceedance) flood event occurred on the Pecos River where 8-11” of rain fell in northern Chaves County then flowed into the Pecos River basin. USGS gage 08386000 on the Pecos River near Acme, NM along the US

70 bridge showed a peak river height of 17.4 feet. Bank height is 10 feet and flood stage is 13 feet. Spatial analysis provided by National Weather Service indicated that the widest extent of the flooding was at least 1.74 miles wide, which occurred on Bitter Lake NWR and Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) Overflow Wetlands to the south of Acme, NM.

Bitter Lake NWR is seeking to repair an existing submersible well that was damaged when it was inundated during the flood event. Flood water covered the electrical panel, pump, and pipes. Due to the level of flooding experienced the existing motor, electrical wiring, and pump assembly are compromised. The existing pump is a Simflo SM10H 3-stage assembly designed to provide 800 gallons per minute at 150 feet total dynamic head. The shaft is approximately 40 feet.

1.3 Objectives:

1. To repair and modify one existing submersible Well (NM Permit Number RA-4691) near the Pecos River located at Lat. 33.456347o x Long.

-104.390029o.

2. Conduct and Submit a Commissioning Performance / Acceptance Test to the COR and Technical points of contact (POCs) to confirm the flow rates of 200 to 800 GPM are obtained and meet requirements.

1.4 Scope:

Task 1: Motor installed and repaired, install new discharge head assembly, shaft, pump bowl assembly, electrical panel, variable frequency drive (VFD).

The Contractor shall replace the vertical turbine pump assembly at Well #4691, to include a new discharge head assembly, shaft, and pump bowl assembly. The existing pump controller shall be replaced with a new variable frequency drive (VFD) that can regulate the well output from 200 to

800 GPM. Total Dynamic Head (TDH) is 150 feet.

The Contractor shall replace the existing electrical panel with an appropriate new panel located a minimum five feet above the existing electrical panel as measured from the bottom of the panel.

A platform shall be installed to provide access to the panel and meet required clearances.
