STATEMENT OF WORK

I. General Information:

a. INTRODUCTION: the USGS Research Drilling Program (RDP) has the need for a vendor to provide on-site security services during the drilling and construction of a groundwater monitoring site in southeastern Imperial County during calendar year 2022. The sites are located near the Sand Hills Rest Stop and Ogilby Road, both within one mile from interstate 8.

b. OBJECTIVE: to actively patrol and remain on the drill site; to ensure all equipment and supplies are guarded against theft, vandalism, or other’s risk of injury at all times; and to alert law enforcement of any issues or risks which arise during the shift.

II. Background:

USGS RDP will begin boring and constructing two multiple-depth groundwater monitoring sites during the next 1-6 months (see Figure 1). Sites are located in generally undeveloped, open zones with minor or no limitations on access. Successful completion of this project work requires that equipment and supplies at the site are not stolen, vandalized, or tampered with in between work shifts, and that the public does not enter the work area at any time.

One site (NDL2) is located at 6808 Grays Wells Road, Winterhaven, CA 92283 (32°44'21.68"N, 114°53'4.02"W); the other site (NDL3) is located just west of Ogilby Road (S34), Winterhaven, CA 92283 and about 1 mile north of interstate 8 (32°46'37.01"N, 114°50'14.12"W).
