STATEMENT OF WORK

Well construction supplies needed for the installation of groundwater wells at several locations along the Virginia Coastal Plain as defined by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA-DEQ), 2026.

I. General Information:

a. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Research Drilling Program (RDP) has the need for a vendor to provide drill supplies (CETCO PUREGOLD® easy mixing, organic-free, high-solids bentonite grout, 50-lb bag; and FILPRO sand #3, 50-lb bag) for the construction of groundwater-wells along the Atlantic coast of Virginia during calendar year 2026 and 2027. This effort is part of an ongoing joint funding agreement between RDP, the USGS Virginia Water Science Center (VA-WSC), and the VA-DEQ. The vendor will need to provide transport supplies to the drill site or storage location. As part of the management process the vendor will be required to coordinate all activities with on-site personnel to facilitate transportation and off-loading of supplies at the drill site. The USGS drill sites are located (see Figure 1):

II. Background:

USGS RDP will begin boring and constructing groundwater monitoring and sampling sites in June 2026. The sites will be located along the Virginia Coastal Plain where potential salinization in the aquifer system requires close monitoring to detect chloride increases before nearby production wells are affected. Short‑term chloride fluctuations are typically caused by rapid, reversible vertical upconing beneath wells, while slower lateral intrusion can permanently shift the saltwater‑transition zone landward. Interactions among multiple wells can cause chloride trends to vary as pumping changes. A 2015 spatial analysis identified 81 wells in the Yorktown–Eastover and Potomac aquifers that lie closest to the 250‑mg/L chloride surface and are therefore most vulnerable. To better distinguish upconing from lateral intrusion, 19 new observation wells are planned, and 4 nearby wells will be abandoned to prevent interference with data collection. The newly installed monitoring sites will enable water-resource management to address changing trends in groundwater development and provide information on the hydrologic condition and impacts to aquifer systems of Virginia.

The project start time is currently expected to occur between June 2026, and September 3, 2027.

III. Work Requirements

a. The vendor shall supply and deliver the following materials:

1. CETCO PUREGOLD® easy mixing, organic-free, high-solids (30%) bentonite grout, 50-lb bags.

o Quantity: Not to exceed 1,300 bags.

2. FILPRO sand #3, 50-lb bags o Quantity: Not to exceed 200 bags.

b. Deliveries shall be made on an as-needed basis, as coordinated by the USGS. The total number of deliveries shall not exceed seven (7). The Government will notify the vendor approximately one (2) weeks prior to each required delivery and will provide the specific delivery location and the number of bags required for that delivery. The Government is not obligated to order the maximum quantities listed above.

c. USGS personnel will have a forklift available to unload delivered materials. All materials shall be delivered on pallets.

d. The project schedule is subject to change, and there is no set duration for work at each site. Deliveries will be coordinated based on project needs and site availability.

e. Vendor will remove all vendor owned equipment from the site once delivery is completed.

f. A 10-mile-per-hour speed limit will be observed on all dirt roads leading to the construction areas, except as otherwise posted on paved county roads and state and federal highways. If nighttime activities are required, access route and well site speed limit will be reduced to 5 miles-per-hour to reduce the potential for impacts to nocturnal species.

g. Quote Submission: The vendor shall submit a quote that includes all material, handling, and delivery charges in the per-bag price. Please quote the following:

• CETCO PUREGOLD® bentonite grout, per 50-lb bag, including delivery: $__________

• FILPRO sand #3, per 50-lb bag, including delivery: $__________

Pricing shall be based on the not-to-exceed quantities identified in the Work Requirements section and up to seven

(7) total deliveries.
