The project involves the installation of bedrock monitoring wells as part of the NHGS Groundwater Level Monitoring Network. The scope of work requires contractors to drill and install monitoring wells at designated locations, with specific technical requirements for borehole drilling, well construction, development, and documentation. The project encompasses site preparation, drilling operations, installation of monitoring equipment, and completion of required reporting and as-built documentation. Contractors must provide detailed project timelines and demonstrate experience with similar groundwater monitoring well installations. Site visits are anticipated to familiarize bidders with project conditions and requirements prior to proposal submission.

Bidders must submit proposals according to the specifications and requirements outlined in the RFB, with evaluation criteria including technical qualifications, proposed methodology, project schedule, and pricing. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical and administrative requirements. Funding for this project is provided through the NHGS budget allocation for groundwater monitoring infrastructure. The contract term will be determined based on project completion requirements, with specific performance milestones and deadlines outlined in the bid documents. All work must comply with New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services regulations and applicable state groundwater quality standards.
