Attachment 1 - Statement of Work.pdf

This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for drilling a livestock water well for the USDA Agricultural Research Service at the Jornada Experimental Range in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The project involves drilling a replacement water well to a depth of 500 feet (or deeper if necessary to obtain an adequate water supply), with the existing well being a nonfunctional well originally drilled in the early 1900s and converted to a solar submersible pump system in the early 2000s. The contractor will be responsible for providing all professional services, materials, and installation, including installing 5" SDR 17 (or better) PVC casing for the full depth of the well and any needed slotted pipe/screens in accordance with industry standards.

The contract requires a turnkey product with a total project timeline of 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, and the contractor must adhere to all local, state, and federal requirements, as well as applicable industry standards and safety codes. Key responsibilities include submitting a detailed technical and cost proposal, providing a site-specific safety plan, obtaining necessary permits, protecting existing equipment and property, conducting daily site inspections, monitoring environmental conditions, and providing weekly safety and work updates. The government will assist with identifying underground utilities and provide reasonable amounts of electricity and water during construction.
