The work shall be completed and in accordance with the following technical specifications and are subject to the terms of the contract.

C5.b.2 Location Observation and monitoring wells may be drilled at locations determined by the CO/COTR. These locations may require a wide range of effort, dependent upon the development, right of entry, environmental or other issue being addressed.

Abandonment of bores or wells may be required services as a part of this contract. Abandonment procedures will be site specific and will ensure confident closure of all potential contaminant issues at each site.

C5.b.3 Borehole Diameters

Each service shall be performed using a Task Order Format, whereby a project is identified by the Bureau and a Task Order is then issued. Boreholes will be of no required minimum depth but varying to a maximum depth of 2500'. Borehole diameters will be a minimum of 6-5/8" to a maximum of 30". Specifically, 6-5/8", 7-7/8", 8-3/4", 9-7/8" and 12-1/4" diameter bore holes may be drilled to 2500' bgl (below ground level). Also, 14-3/4", 17-1/2" and 20" bores may go to depths of 2000' bgl and 24", 26" and 30" bores may go to depths of 1000'.

C5.b.4 Drilling and Workover Methods

Several drilling methods may be required as there are a variety of locations requiring exploration. The method and work plan for each drilling and workover project will be determined by the Contracting Officer (CO), the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) and the Contractor. A Task Order will then be developed and the contractor will submit a cost proposal and work plan in accordance with specifications contained here-in. It is envisioned that most drilling will be by conventional mud hydraulic rotary drilling methods. Reverse mud hydraulic rotary drilling methods may be required for some sites. Other sites may require a bottom-hole percussion tool with air rotary drilling methods.

C5.b.5 Casing Holes

Exploratory bores will be assessed for potential production when the "total depth" (TD) of the bore has been reached. If it is determined by the CO/COTR to be potentially productive, a casing schedule and completion program will be initiated.

Casing and screens may be slotted steel or PVC slotted dependent upon site specifics and may range in diameter from 2" to 18".

C5.b.6 Well Development and Rehabilitation

Development and rehabilitation techniques shall require equipment consistent with the size of the casing and screen to be developed. Development may be by air-lift through the casing or an eductor, or by pumping.

Augers having a minimum of 4-1/4” I.D. to 12-1/4" I.D. may be required to drill bore holes and obtain continuous samples from alluvial materials to a maximum depth of 200' below ground level. Samples from this size bore will be retrieved using either a continuous sampler or a split spoon driven by a 140 Lb. automatic hammer having at least a 30" drop.

Completions generally will be to 20' below the first encounter of ground water. Screened sections generally will be set through the vadose zone and into the water at sufficient depth so as to ensure, in so much as is possible, adequate sampling ports for water quality assessment and the accurate measurement of water level fluctuations or declines.

C5.c.7 Rock Core Drilling and Sampling The Contractor will furnish all plant, labor, equipment and materials, and perform all operations at the locations specified to be accomplished by rock coring drilling and sampling in accordance with these requirements and applicable drawings.

Drilling of cores will be by any approved standard accepted method of rotary drilling using carbide or diamond set coring bits. The bits will provide good recovery of hard and soft rocks, and partly consolidated materials by means of N size diameter core.

Equipment to be furnished by the Contractor for core drilling will include drilling machinery approved by the Government complete with all accessories for taking continuous rock cores of a diameter consistent with bit size to the depths specified. All supplies for core drilling will be furnished by the Contractor and shall include, but not be limited to, all casing, drill rods, core barrels, coring bits, piping, pumps, water, tools, and power required for drilling and all boxes and containers required for core samples. Bits will be set with the proper size stones and matrix for the kind of rock being drilled.

All borings will be drilled vertically to the bottom elevations or depths specified unless otherwise indicated in the schedule of borings. Offsetting of borings from the locations specified will not be permitted. Casing through the overburden will be seated tightly in the rock at the elevation where rock is encountered prior to commencement of rock coring. The Contractor shall operate the drills at such hydraulic pressures, speeds and with such water pressures as will ensure maximum core recovery in whatever kind of rock is being drilled. When drilling rock, the Contractor shall reduce the length of runs to 2 ½ feet or less whenever core recovery is unacceptable as determined by the Government. Failure to comply with procedures will constitute justification for the Government to require redrilling at the Contractor's expense of any boring from which the core recovery is unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall record water losses, rod jerks, and other unusual core experiences that will identify the extent of fracturing and other characteristics of the materials being sampled. All borings or wells that are not to be used as piezometer locations, observation wells or that are otherwise required to remain open will be sealed.

The Contractor shall exercise special care to preserve the rock cores in their natural state. The core will be carefully fitted together in a core trough 1 ½ times the length of the run for measurement before being placed in the core boxes. The core will be carefully placed in the core box in the order which it is retrieved from the core barrel. Each box will be labeled completely, inside and out, and with depths, boring number, project, elevations, and other pertinent data. Cores from different borings will not be placed in the same core box.

C5.c.8 Casing Advancement Drilling The Contractor will furnish all plant, labor, equipment and materials, and perform all operations at the locations specified to be accomplished by casing advancement system with a swing out under-reaming bit (ODEX) in accordance with these requirements and applicable drawings. Drilling through unstable formations and overburden will be by any approved standard accepted method to advance a cased hole. The system operates with the use of a pilot bit with an eccentric reamer bit, a down-the-hole-hammer, a specialized drive shoe and mild steel casing.

Equipment to be furnished by the Contractor for drilling will include basic drilling machinery approved by the Government complete with a drive head assembly which will accommodate an air supply, independent, reversible rotation with sufficient torque to match the hole diameter and depth requirement, air compressor and all accessories for advancing continuous casing to the depths specified. All supplies for drilling will be furnished by the Contractor and shall include, but not be limited to the discharge head, casing tubes, drill pipe, guide sleeves, top hole or down-the-hole-drill hammer, casing shoe, air supply, reamer, pilot bit, auxiliary tools and power required for drilling and all containers required for sampling. Bits will be set with the proper carbide buttons capable of drilling and casing a 6-inch diameter borehole to a maximum depth of 100 feet or limit of the equipment.

All borings will be drilled vertically to the bottom elevations or depths specified unless otherwise indicated in the schedule of borings. Offsetting of borings from the locations specified will not be permitted. The casing is advanced through the overburden or to the soil/rock interface. At the required depth, the rotation is reversed and the drill bit assembly is pulled up through the casing. The casing tubes are left in the hole and either a monitoring well is installed or the hole is advanced using conventional drilling methods. The Contractor shall operate the drills at such hydraulic pressures, speeds and with air pressures that will ensure maximum flushing action of the cuttings up the hole. Failure to comply with procedures will constitute justification for the Government to require redrilling at the Contractor's expense of any boring from which the hole depth is unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall record air losses, rod jerks, and other unusual drilling experiences that will assist in identifying the nature and extent of the character of the materials being drilled. All borings or wells that are not to be used as piezometer locations, observation wells or that are otherwise required to remain open will be sealed.

C5.c.9 Well Development Services requiring procedures for development may be done in any of three ways as determined by the CO/COTR for any site. The first method of air-lift development will be by blowing a sufficient volume and pressure of air via an air line. The depth to the bottom of the air line from the surface to the static water level must be at least three times the distance from the surface to the static water level. The second method will use the drill pipe as an eductor. The drill pipe will be fitted with a 5' to 10’ section of perforated pipe isolated by swab flanges on top and bottom. This 5' to 10’ section will be lowered to the bottom of the screen. An air line, lowered to the depth as described in the first method, will be placed inside the drill pipe and development will commence and proceed to successive screen sections allowing for the pipe column to be raised and lowered while air- lifting. The third method of development will be by pumping using a submergible pump. The pump will be lowered to the lowermost screen and pumping will begin. The configuration of the discharge shall allow for the pump to be raised and lowered during the pumping operation at least 10'. The time spent developing in each 10' interval shall be determined by the CO/COTR who shall be on-site during all development operations. Well development costs will be paid at the negotiated price per hour for equipment used to air-lift through an eductor or otherwise, or by pumping methods, successfully performed.

C5.c.10 Well Workover Operations may be required for redevelopment, reconfiguration or any operation deemed necessary by the CO/COTR on existing Indian or BIA wells. These operations shall conform to those standard practices normal to well drilling or workover. It may be necessary to abandon bores or plug existing wells and work done in preparation for such operations will be paid at the workover hourly negotiated price. Actual plugging operations shall be paid at the negotiated price for equipment used to place cement plugs. The contractor shall at all times conform to standard safety procedures for well drilling operations. Well workover costs will be paid at the negotiated price per hour for workover equipment used in operations successfully performed.

C5.c.11 Placing Bentonite Plugs The placement of seals and plugs may be required for isolating specific zones, well abandonment and/or well head protection at selected sites. Bentonite sealing material will be composed of 1/4”, 3/8“, or 1/2“pellets formed of pure bentonite and placed using tremmie pipe or by acceptable methods proposed by the Contractor, which ensure accurate and competent seals. Payment for all work required to prepare, place and clean up from plugging and sealing operations will be paid at the negotiated price per hour for equipment used in placement acceptably performed.

C5.c.12 Cementing Services will be required for various completions and down hole tasks including, but not limited to, well abandonment.

Cement services require abilities to pump Portland Type III cement slurries containing up to 5% pure bentonite through tremmie pipe at pressures up to 150 psi. The grouting materials shall conform to slurry weights of approximately 115 lbs/cu.ft. Grout shall be allowed to cure at least 8 hours. Payment for all work required to prepare, place and clean up from cementing operations will be paid at the negotiated price per hour for equipment used for cementing services acceptably performed.

C5.c.13 Welding Services will be required for setting casing and other as yet unknown reasons. All welding will be performed by experienced and qualified welders using certified materials and equipment. Welding will be paid for at the negotiated prices per hour for welding services acceptably performed.

C5.c.14 Aquifer Testing A pump of sufficient horse power and size to deliver specific rates from specific depths will be installed and removed by the contractor. Manned operation of pumps and generators will be required for the duration of some pumping and/or aquifer testing. In some cases, the contractor may be required to provide water level data collection services. In any case allowances will be made for specific periods of data gathering.

C5.c.15 Step testing Step testing will consist of three distinct periods as follows: 1) Pre-Pumping Period, 2) Continuous Pumping Period and 3) Recovery Period. Each period will be adequately documented so as to allow all interested parties to reconstruct all events occurring during each period. No pump operations will be required during the pre-pumping and recovery periods. Data acquisition requirements are described in Section C5.c.15.

C5.c.16 Constant rate testing After step testing is complete, constant rate pump testing will begin consisting of three distinct periods as follows: 1) Pre- Pumping Period, 2) Continuous Pumping Period and 3) Recovery Period. Each period will be adequately documented so as to allow all interested parties to reconstruct all events occurring during each period. No pump operations will be required during the pre-pumping and recovery periods.

1) Pre-Pumping Period: The contractor must have the necessary equipment set and in place to initiate the continuous pumping test before the pre-pumping period begins. Additionally, flexible discharge line of an adequate length as determined by the CO/COTR and the contractor will be installed. The pre-pumping period will be one day (24 hours). During this period depth to water level measurements (WL) will be measured from the top of the casing taken at least once each 6 hours.

2) Continuous Pumping: The pump shall run continuously from the end of the pre-pumping period through the beginning of recovery period. If for any reason the pump stops or cannot be controlled accurately enough to maintain the desired pumping rate, the pre-pumping period will start over and the test restarted if deemed necessary by the CO or COTR. No provision is made to cover costs incurred for pumping test not acceptably performed. During pumping, water level (WL) and production (GPM) will be measured as per the following schedule:

Elapsed Time (Minutes) Frequency of Measure (Minutes)

Since Pump On WL (FT) Q (GPM) 0 to 10 1 5 10 to 20 2 5 20 to 60 4 10 60 to 150 5 10 150 to 300 10 10 300 to END TEST 20 20

After the second hour of the test, production water will be measured for temperature and specific conductance once each hour through the conclusion of the pumping period. The contractor will be required to have an operator on site for 8 hours a day during the continuous pumping period and may be required to perform data acquisition during this time. The COTR will provide for site security and data acquisition during the rest of the time. The operator will service the equipment and in so much as possible, ensure that the equipment will function properly while onsite. The operator shall be available for duty "on call" for emergency needs.

3) Recovery Period: The recovery period measurements will be taken according to the following schedule:

Elapsed Time (Minutes) Frequency (Minutes) 0 to 10 1 10 to 20 2 20 to 60 5

60 to 100 10 100 to 300 25 300 to 1000 50 1000 to END 100

C5.c.17 Alignment All well bores shall be constructed and all casing set sufficiently round, plumb and true as to enable the free installation of a bailer or any appurtenance 2" smaller in diameter than the bore and 1/2" smaller in diameter than the I.D. of the casing.

The casing shall not deviate more than 6" per 100' from a straight plumb line beginning at the exact center of the top of the casing.

C5.c.18 Placing Gravel All gravel to be installed in any bore for the purpose of packing a screened section shall be composed of quartzose and similar durable well rounded particles, containing no silt, clay, organic materials, flat or elongate particles or deleterious materials.

(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

(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.
