1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Code and Standards: The work shall comply with codes and standards applicable to each type of work and as listed in the individual sections of these specifications.

B. Conflict: Where a conflict occurs between reference documents and project specifications, the project specifications shall govern.

1.04 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

A. Delivery: The Contractor will supply and deliver all equipment and labor necessary for the actual work. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing and stockpiling (on site) all project wastes.

B. Handling: The Contractor shall load and unload products in such manner that protects them from damage until installation on the project.

1.05 PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS

A. Access to the Work: Access to the work site is over heavily used county-maintained dirt road. Well site will be adjacent to county road 1-53 The site can generally be accessed in a full size 2wd (though 4wd recommended) truck pending weather that can cause ruts in the road.

1.06 SEQUENCING AND SCHEDULING

A. Requirements: The Contractor shall be responsible for operations necessary to complete the work, including coordination with other crafts relative to the contractor’s requirements.

Work shall be scheduled in such a manner as to avoid delays in overall construction and permit proper installation of work.

B. Water Bearing Strata. The well shall be drilled to a maximum depth of 150 feet, or to a lesser depth as directed in the field by the Engineer. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer prior to his estimated time of reaching the anticipated total depth of the well.

C. Test Pumping. The following test pumping shall be run on the well prior to installation of casing: Pump water at a rate within the limits of 1 to 3 gallons/minute recording drawdown in 1-minute increments or as determined appropriate by the driller and the Engineer to determine adequate capacity at a stabilized drawdown and obtain a representative water quality sample.

D. Well Blockages. In the event a tool is lost in a well bore and is not recoverable, or other blockage occurs that prevents continuing the hole to the depth specified in the Schedule of Items, the following action shall be taken: If a depth is reached that produces an acceptable amount (1-3 gallons/minute) of water, drilling cannot be continued due to hole blockage, then the hole will be accepted if all other specifications are met. But, if a well does not produce the specified yield at less than the specified depth, then the Contractor shall abandon the hole as specified below and relocate the drill rig to another setup point approved by the Engineer, with no cost to the Government.

E. Disposition of Abandoned Well. The Engineer may order a well to be abandoned at any time should results indicate that there is insufficient water or that water is of unsatisfactory quality. An abandoned uncased hole shall be backfilled with soil and/or have a concrete surface plug installed to a depth of five (5) feet depending on the geologic conditions and/or State requirements. If casing is already installed as authorized by the Engineer, a welded steel cap of the same or greater thickness than the casing shall be affixed to the top of the casing. In either case, the abandoned hole shall be marked so that the exact site can be easily located.

1.07 UTILITY CONNECTIONS

A. Electrical Service: Electric service to the site not available.

B. Water Service: Water service to the site is not available.

1.08 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND PROGRESS CHARTS:

A. Within 10 days after receipt of Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer’s Representative for approval a practicable progress schedule.

The schedule shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to carry on the work, the date of which he will start the several major activities (including procurement of materials, and equipment), and the contemplated dates for completing same. The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate graphically the percentages of work scheduled for completion at any time.

B. If, in the opinion of the COR, the work accomplished falls behind that schedule, the

Contractor shall take such action as necessary to improve his progress. In addition, the COR may require the Contractor to submit a revised schedule demonstrating his program and proposed plan to make up lag in scheduled progress and to insure completion of work within the contract time. If the COR finds the proposed plan not acceptable, he may require the Contractor to submit a new plan. If a satisfactory plan is not agreed upon, the COR may require the Contractor to increase the work force, the construction plan and equipment, or the number of work shifts, without additional cost to the Owner.
