BACKGROUND: In support of Reclamation's wind-driven brackish groundwater desalination research project with Texas Tech University, the drilling and casing of exploratory wells into the Santa Rosa aquifer of the Dockum group are required. The sites for the wells to be drilled and cased are near the municipality of Seminole in Gaines County and near the town of Plains in Yoakum County. On the basis of preliminary hydrologic investigations, it is anticipated that the depth to the water bearing layer in Seminole will be 1300 to 1500 ft. For Plains, the anticipated depth is expected to be 600 to 700 ft. Because of the differing depths, the shallower Plains well will be drilled first. WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY CONTRACTOR: The vendor shall supply the equipment, manpower, and casing material needed to drill and case one or more wells into the Santa Rosa aquifer at Plains in Yoakum County and Seminole in Gaines County. The two locations are within 35 miles of each other in west Texas near the New Mexico border. The vendor should specify if the wells will be drilled and cased using the same equipment (and thus moving it from the first to the second site) or whether two rigs will be deployed for drilling operations in parallel. For each location, the drilled well should accommodate a casing having a minimum inside diameter of five (5) inches. Schedule is an important aspect of this procurement. While the well sites are close to Plains and Seminole, the exact location in each case has not yet been set. The sites will however be within three (3) miles of the respective town limits and will be accessible to heavy equipment on roads maintained by the State or county. Utility electric power and water will be available at both sites. The vendor will need to specify any other site or materiel requirements that may be required for drilling operations.
