Contract #: TBD Project Title: Repair Cathodic Protection for Wells Project #: 1135097 Date: 27/June/2024

STATEMENT OF NEED

1. Purpose of section. The Statement of Need (SON) explains the general intent of the contract named above. It documents the major line items of work the Government expects to see accomplished, but it does not attempt to explain the exact details and/or method of execution for the contractor. The Contractor will be responsible for providing specific performance details in their resulting proposal and Statement of Work (SOW).

2. Background Information.

There are 7 water supply wells with approximately 300 ft deep and 16” diameter steel casings, on the well fields area at Beale AFB (See the site plan for location and the table for further wells and casings information). All wells were protected from corrosion by an impressed current cathodic protect (CP) system before, with a central anode bed/rectifier installed in 1971. (The location of the old anode bed is around 600 ft to the south of well #8, and shown on the as built provided), Wells 1,2,4,5, and 6 were bonded by the existing abandoned underground metal pipe which was bonded to the central anode bed/rectifier system. Wells 8 and 9 were combined back to the metal pipe conductor by an overhead bonding wire over the power poles. None of these wells currently have a functioning or operational CP system. In 2023, the overhead power system protecting wells 1,2,4,5, and 6was removed and replaced with an underground wiring system. The CP bonding wire for wells 8, and 9 were also removed when the overhead power lines were taken down.

The transformer and rectifier, that fed into the central CP system, were also removed at that time. Outside of the provided as-builts, there is no additional information or specifications detailing the transformer and rectifier.

(See the attached as built of the old CP system).

Well #1 has been replaced recently and below is the updated information.

Casing depth – 300ft.

Casing width – 16” Existing Underground Utilities and site conditions.

The underground in-service water, Electrical and communication utilities are existed within the navigating gravel roads on the area (See the attached map for the locations of the underground utilities). Site verification of the underground utilities within the fenced area around wells is required prior to digging.

3. General Scope: The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, transportation, materials, testing, analysis, reports, permits, hauling, tools, equipment, and professional services to complete the design and construction of the project in accordance with the contract documents.

4. Scope of work:

a. Design: All plans and specification shall be prepared and stamped by a CP engineer and the CP engineer of record shall oversee all aspects of construction and installation.

b. The contractor shall provide a complete set of 65%, and 100%+IFC design phases including construction drawings, Specifications, detailed scope of work, design analysis, and bases of design report to construct and install a complete usable CP system for wells 1,2,4,5,6,8, and 9.

c. Design shall conform with the applicable standards and environmental regulation listed below in section 19.

d. Contractor shall perform all necessary coordination, meetings, site visits, survey, studies and reporting to clearly understand the historic and existing site condition to provide an appropriate design.

e. Contractor shall provide the as-built design drawings at the project completion.

5. Construction/Installation. Contractor shall install a complete functional cathodic protection system to protect casings of wells 1,2,4,5,6,8, and 9, according to the design, specification (provided by contractor), and following the applicable codes and standards provided in section 19.

6. Environmental/Permits: Contractor must comply to the regulations and requirements provided through the AF-813 including digging restrictions, protection of sensitive species, wetlands, BMP (Best Management Practices), safety, security, road closing and so on. Sensitive habitat surrounds the work areas and requirements to protect these habitats are extensive. A detailed review of the AF813 and conformance with requirements is essential to a successful project.

AF-103, including dig permit will also be required prior to start of construction. AF-103 is typically filed, processed, and signed by Beale AFB. Contractor shall provide the work clearance with reference number from USA North and submit to CE, 30 days before beginning of construction.

• A site plan, showing the locations of wells and the existing underground utilities, in the area.

• As built drawing showing the old CP system.

• Environmental regulations permit (AF-813) dated 8 May 2024

• Wells data table.

8. Timetable requirement. Since a topographic or high-level geotechnical survey for this contract is not required; we anticipate 60 days for the design and 90 days for construction works to be completed. Extension or change of the schedule will be negotiated and approved up on requirement and needs of the request.

9. Authorized Work. Work shall be accomplished in accordance with all contractually incorporated documents. Any work that is accomplished outside of the contractual documents, unless authorized by a contracting officer, is accomplished at the contractor’s own risk.
