PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY

A. This section summarizes the work to be performed under this contract by the Contractor for the drilling of a new well to provide for the Sulwhanon Community Water System on the Nooksack Reservation, Whatcom County, Washington.

1.02 WORK REQUIRED

A. The Nooksack Tribe (Tribe) seeks to complete a 12-inch diameter production well in an unconfined, shallow alluvial aquifer. This well will replace the existing 6-inch, 64-foot deep supply well for the Sulwhanon Community Water System (CWS), which does not have an adequate sanitary control area and has high iron concentrations.

The goal of the project is to achieve a safe, reliable drinking water source for 25 homes and 5 non-residential connections served by the Sulwhanon CWS. The Tribe also seeks a water source with a lower iron concentration that existing wells in the area, and the aquifer will be sampled for iron at regular intervals during drilling. Well drilling equipment must be capable of drilling a 12-inch bore hole using cable tool drilling methods. The finished well depth is anticipated to be 250 feet or less. The well is proposed to include a sanitary seal of up to 50 feet, and a screen assembly including a riser, filter pack, and tailpipe if necessary. The work includes:

1. Well drilling with 12-inch casing and screen, to an estimated 250 feet

2. Placement of sanitary seal to an estimated 50 feet

3. Well development

4. Test pumping

5. Disinfection, sampling, and water quality testing
