The development and test pump shall be set to a depth in excess of the anticipated pumping level.

Development equipment and method used shall permit variable pumping discharge rates. Contractor shall meet the requirements in section 4.8 of AWWA standards for small water systems.

1. Extract maximum practical quantity of sand, drill fluid, and other fine materials from water-bearing formation.

2. Avoid settlement and disturbance of strata above water-bearing formation.

3. Do not disturb sealing around well casings.

4. Continue developing wells until water contains no more than 2 ppm of sand by weight when pumped at maximum testing rate.

3.06 DISINFECTION: A minimum 50 mg/l (parts per million) chlorine solution shall remain in well for a period of at least 12-hr.

3.07 ANNULAR SEAL: Sealing consists of filling the annular space between the casing and borehole with an approved substance that forms an impermeable seal. Seal well to a 50-ft depth below ground surface to prevent the entrance of water from any source other than from the aquifers selected.

Provide a minimum 2-inch radial thick annular seal through pressure grouting from the bottom upwards. State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, approved a minimum two (2) inch radial thick annular seal per the following standards.

• CA 74-90 Well standard requires “a minimum of two inches of sealing material between casing and the borehole wall…” and

• AWWA A100-06 has an exception to reduce 3 inch thickness of the annular seal to 1-½ inch “if pressure grouting from the bottom upward is performed using cement tubing...”

3.08 WELL CAPACITY TEST – A minimum of twelve (12) hours after completing well development, measure and record the static water level. Begin the 72-hour well capacity test with a constant rate test and pump the well continuously starting at the maximum yield or at a pumping rate agreed to by the Government COR. Measure drawdown and recovery as described:

1. Measure and record well water drawdown levels and pump discharge rate:

A. Every thirty minutes during the first four hours of pumping, B. Every hour for the next four hours, and

Clark Springs Well Drilling AG-9AC7-S-16-0007 Page 17 of 32

C. Every four hours thereafter until the water drawdown level is constant for at least the last four remaining measurements or until the COR terminates pumping.

2. Measure and record well water recovery:

A. Every thirty minutes during the first four hours after pumping stops, B. Hourly for the next eight hours, and

C. Every 12 hours until either the water level in the well recovers to within two (2) feet of the static water level measured at the beginning of the well capacity test or to at least 95 percent of the total draw down measured during the test, whichever occurs first.

3.09 SAMPLING AND TESTING - Once well development, disinfection, and well capacity testing are complete, and all traces of disinfection have been removed the CONTRACTOR shall continue to pump well water to the surface at a reduced rate to allow the Government COR or Inspector to take representative water samples.

3.10 WELL DESTRUCTION – The Government will authorize the CONTRACTOR IN WRITING to destroy well if well has proven to be unacceptable. All casing should be removed if possible. If casing cannot be removed, than the top three feet below ground surface shall be cut off and disposed. Since each well is unique, the Contractor shall use well sealing materials based on the construction of the well, the pH of the water and its effect on sealing materials, and the nature of the penetrated formations. Provide a continuous seal from the bottom of well to within three feet of ground surface. Sealing material placed in the well shall flow over to form a cap. The CONTRACTOR must verify that the volume of the material placed in the well is at least equal to the volume of the hole. The CONTRACTOR will report results to the COR. After well seal has been approved by the Government, existing native soil fill material shall be mounded one foot higher than the existing ground surface to allow for settlement. Grade fill material back to existing ground surface with a 1/2:1 slope.

SECTION E – Inspection and Acceptance

Inspection of Construction (52.246-12) (Aug 1996)

(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.

The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—
