A. PART ONE
V
GENERAL CONDITIONS
V -A -1
1. Owner. The Owner is the City of Round Rock, Texas,
herein referred to as the Owner.
2. Location of Project. The location of the area in
which the work covered by this contract is to be performed will
be approximately 2 -1/2 miles southeast of downtown Round Rock.
3. Description of Work. It is anticipated that the work
to be done will consist of drilling three test holes, reaming
and pump testing one or more of the test holes, and constructing
and testing a water well. However, the Owner, at its option,
may require that more or less than three test holes be drilled,
reamed and pump tested. After construction and testing of the
well has been completed, and if the Owner so requires, additional
test holes will be drilled and tested and a second well will be
constructed and tested.
The Owner shall have the right to determine the sequence in
which the various test holes are drilled, reamed, and tested and
the production well is drilled and constructed.
4. Daily Report. The Contractor or Contractor's field
representative shall report plans and progress to the Owner's
designated representatives approximately 24 hours before drill-
ing is to be started and daily thereafter during the course of
drilling the test holes, reaming and pump testing of the test
holes, and drilling, construction, and testing of a well. If
the Owner's representative is on the site, the daily report
may be made in person. Otherwise, the daily report is to be
made by telephone at the Contractor's expense.
5. Scheduling of Work. During drilling, construction,
and testing activities, the Contractor shall keep full crews
at work on the project continuously for at least one 8 -hour
tour per day, at least 5 days per week, until the work is com-
pleted. The following three operations at the well shall be a
continuous operation: (1) the setting and cementing of the sur-
face casing; (2) the placement of the liner in the well; and
(3) the continuous pumping test. The Contractor shall schedule
the work on these continuous operations so there shall be no
waiting time on equipment or materials during such operations.
V -A -2
6. Drilling Equipment. The test holes shall be drilled
with conventional air rotary drilling equipment and the pro-
duction zone of the water well shall be drilled with conven-
tional air rotary or reverse air rotary water well drilling
equipment. The hole for the surface casing in a well may be
reamed using standard mud rotary drilling methods. All equip-
ment used shall be in good condition and at least of such size
and capacity as is normally used by water well contractors
for construction of wells of the size and diameters described
in these contract documents.
The Owner shall have the right to approve or reject at any
time the drilling rig and other equipment used, but approval by
the Owner will not remove any part of the Contractor's respon-
sibility to furnish equipment that will efficiently complete
all the work as specified. The Contractor shall provide a de-
scription of the rig and other major equipment to be used, when
his bid is submitted.
7. Drilling Additives, Mud, and Materials. A record
of the types and amounts of chemical additives, drilling mud,
mud additives, or lost circulation materials added during each
8 -hour tour and the times at which it is added shall be recorded
on each tour progress report.
8. Access to Drilling Location. The Owner shall provide
land or rights -of -way for the work specified in this contract,
and make provision for ingress and egress. The Owner also
shall provide necessary access roads to the drilling location,
or make other arrangements and pay the extra cost involved of
transporting equipment and personnel.
9. Electric Power. Electric power, if needed for the
Contractor's operational needs, shall be furnished by the Con-
tractor at the expense of the Contractor.
10. Water for Drilling and Other Operations. Water for
the drilling and other operations shall be furnished by the
Contractor at the expense of the Contractor. The source of
the water used shall be approved by the Owner. Any tank
needed for storage of drilling water shall be furnished by
the Contractor at the expense of the Contractor.
11. Disposal of Waste. Water or mud which results from
drilling and other operations of the Contractor shall be dis-
posed of as approved by the Owner. The cost of such disposal
operations at the site shall be borne by the Contractor. If
the Owner should decide that the hauling and disposal of
drilling mud and /or cuttings away from the site is necessary,
V -A -3
the Owner will pay the cost of such hauling and disposal as
extra work under the provisions of Section V -C -2, "Changes,
Alterations, and Extra Work."
If required by the Owner, the Contractor shall construct
dikes, levies, or pits to prevent water, mud, or cuttings
resulting from the drilling and other operations from flowing
off the designated sites and onto adjacent properties.
12. Final Cleanup. Upon completion of the work, the
Contractor shall at his own expense clear the construction
site of all trash, rubbish, and temporary structures, and
fill all slush pits, ditches, and other excavations to the
original conditions. Cuttings and other materials bailed or
pumped from the well may be left in the slush pits and covered
over with top soil or otherwise disposed of as approved by the
Owner.
13. Progress Reports. The Owner shall be provided with
two copies of each driller's tour report on the work contained
in this contract. These drillers' tour reports shall be de-
livered or mailed to the Owner each day for that day's progress.
The form of the tour progress report shall be approved by the
Owner. All data pertaining to drilling progress, such as drill-
ing depth, formation descriptions, tallies of materials set
during construction work, and development and pumping time,
shall be recorded accurately on these reports during each tour.
Each tour report shall be prepared by the Contractor's foreman
in charge of the tour reporting. A "tour" is defined for the
purpose of tour reports as the period of time a driller and
crew work continuously without interruption.
14. Quantities and Measurements. The depths and lengths
and the development, pumping, and testing times given herein
are estimated and are approximate only. They are used for the
purpose of obtaining unit price bids covering these items, but
are not necessarily the exact depths and lengths and develop-
ment, pumping, and testing times that will be required during
actual drilling, construction, and testing. Deviations from
these depths, lengths, and times are covered by the "add or
deduct" prices quoted in the Proposal.
15. Examination of Site and Drilling Conditions. Before
submitting his Proposal, the Contractor shall examine the area
and make all necessary investigations to inform himself
thoroughly as to the facilities for delivering, placing, and
operating necessary equipment, and for delivering and handling
all materials at the site. He also shall make necessary geo-
logic and hydrologic studies insofar as they may affect his
V -A -9
Proposal for this work. No plea of ignorance of conditions
that exist or that may hereinafter exist or of conditions or
difficulties that may be encountered in the execution of the
work under this contract will be accepted as an excuse for
any failure or omission of the Contractor to fulfill in every
detail all of the requirements of the contract, nor will such
be accepted as a basis for any claim whatsoever for extra com-
pensation or for an extension of time.
16. Scope of Work. The work to be done by the Contrac-
tor hereunder includes the furnishing of labor, materials,
transportation, insurance, supervision, taxes, permits, tools,
supplies, plant, equipment, services, and appurtenances, unless
hereinafter specifically excepted, necessary for the satisfac-
tory completion of the work stated in Section V -A -3, "Descrip-
tion of Work ", and as herein described and specified. The
Specifications and other contract documents contemplate fin-
ished work of such character and quality as described in them
or as may be reasonably inferable from them and the Contractor
agrees that, without the addition of any charges not specifi-
cally included in his Proposal, he will conform to all these
Specifications and other contract documents and he will make
his work complete and operable and in compliance with good
practice.
17. Sanitary Facilities. Temporary sanitary facilities
of a sealed, leakproof type shall be provided for use by the
Contractor's and Owner's employees or representatives at a
convenient location at the well site. The sanitary facilities
shall be at least 150 feet from the test holes and wells to
be constructed.
B. PART TWO
V -B -1
1. Contractor's Duty. The Contractor shall give per-
sonal attention to the faithful prosecution and completion of
this work and shall be present continually at the site of the
work either in person or by duly authorized field representative
fully authorized to act for him in his absence.
2. Character of Workmen. The Contractor agrees to employ
only orderly and competent men, skilled in the performance of
the type of work required under the contract, to do the work.
It is specifically agreed that through the entire course of the
work on the well, a driller or foreman in charge of and on the
job in the field shall have had experience in charge of similar
work on previous water wells of equal or greater size. It is
further agreed that during all work on setting and cementing
the casing, setting the liner, and developing the well, a driller
or foreman of at least that much experience shall be on this job
in the field continuously at the well. If requested by the
Owner, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner a written ex-
perience record for each driller or foreman at the time the
driller or foreman commences work on this project. The Con-
tractor shall provide evidence to the Owner that the required
personnel are available and assigned to this project at least
1 day before they are required to be on the job.
3. Inspection. It is agreed by the Contractor that the
Owner shall be and is hereby authorized to appoint such repre-
sentatives as the Owner may deem proper to inspect the materials
furnished and work done under this contract to see that said
materials are furnished and said work is done in accordance
with the Specifications and other contract documents therefor.
It is further agreed, however, that the Contractor and his rep-
resentatives shall not accept any order or direction from the
Owner or its representatives, whether direct or implied, which
is not provided for in these Specifications and other contract
documents.
4. Discrepancies and Omissions. It is agreed that it
is the intent of this contract that all work must be furnished
in accordance with best practices. In the event of any dis-
crepancy between provisions in the contract documents, the
Owner shall define which provision is intended to apply to
the work. In the event of any doubt as to the meaning and
intent of any portion of the contract documents, the Owner
shall define such meaning and intent. The Contractor will
not be entitled to take advantage of any error or omission
in the Specifications and other contract documents.
V -B -2
5. Assignment and Subletting. The Contractor agrees
that he will give his personal attention to the fulfillment
of this contract and that he will not sublet any portion of
the work without the previous written consent of the Owner.
The Contractor shall retain personal control over any sublet
portion of the work, and agrees that subletting of any portion
of the work does not relieve him from his full obligations to
the Owner as provided by this contract. The Contractor fur-
ther agrees that he will not assign by power of attorney or
otherwise any portion of said contract unless by and with the
previous written consent of the Owner.
The Contractor shall submit with his bid a list of the
portions of the work which he plans to sublet and a list of
whom he plans to use as subcontractors.
6. Permits, Certificates, Laws, and Ordinances. The
Contractor shall, at his own expense, procure all permits,
certificates, and licenses required of him by law for the
performance of his work. He shall comply with all federal,
state, and local laws, ordinances, or rules and regulations
relating to the performance of his work.
7. Patents and Royalties. The Contractor shall
protect and save harmless the Owner and its representatives
from all and every demand for damages, royalties, or fees on
any patented invention used by him in connection with the
work or materials furnished under this contract, including
damages, royalties, or fees on any patented materials,
machinery, appliances, process, or inventions specified in
this contract.
8. Protection Against Claims for Labor and Materials.
The Contractor agrees that he will indemnify and save the
Owner harmless from all claims against the Owner for materials
furnished or work done under this contract, and it is further
agreed that the Contractor shall, if so requested, furnish the
Owner satisfactory evidence that all persons who have done
work or furnished materials under this contract have been duly
paid for such work or materials. In the case such evidence is
requested and is not furnished by the Contractor, payment for
the work covered by this contract may be retained until satis-
factory evidence is furnished that all liabilities arising
from this contract have been fully discharged.
9. Losses from Natural Causes. Unless otherwise
specified, all loss or damage to the Contractor arising out
of the nature of the work to be done, or from the action of
the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstances in the
prosecution of the same, or from unusual obstructions or
difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of
the work, shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at
his own cost and expense.
10. Safety of Employees. The Contractor, and not the
Owner or its representatives, shall be responsible for ex-
ercising reasonable precautions for the safety of employees
on the work and complying with any applicable provisions of
federal, state, and municipal safety rules and building and
construction codes. The Contractor shall promptly report
to the Owner all accidents occurring to the Contractor's
employees.
V -B -3
11. Trade and Brand Names. Where materials or
equipment are specified by trade or brand name, it is the
intention of the Owner to set a definite standard of quality
or performance. Where words such as "equivalent ", "proper ",
or "approved equal" are used, they shall be understood to
mean that the thing referred to shall be proper, the equiva-
lent of, or equal to some other thing in the opinion or
judgement of the Owner. Unless otherwise specified, all
materials shall be the best of their respective kinds and
shall be in all cases fully equal to the approved samples.
Notwithstanding that the words "or approved equal" or other
such expressions may be used in the Specifications in con-
nection with a material, manufactured article, or process,
the material, article, or process specifically designated
shall be used unless a substitute shall be approved by the
Owner, and the Owner shall have the right to require the use
of such specifically designated material, article, or process.
12. Standards. The materials and methods of drilling
construction herein specified shall be furnished in accor-
dance with the standards of the American Petroleum Institute,
the American Society for Testing Materials, and the American
Welding Society.
13. Materials and Workmanship. Unless otherwise
specified, all materials shall be new, and both workmanship
and materials shall be of prime quality. The Contractor
shall, if required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to the
kind and quality of materials. In any case, all pipe and
other equipment the Contractor furnishes for the completed
well shall have the manufacturers' type and quality designa-
tions stamped on them by the manufacturers or the Contractor
shall provide the Owner with written proof, at the time or
times of delivery to the job site, that the required types
and qualities of materials are being furnished.
14. Liability and Insurance with Respect to Accidents
or Other Occurrences Resulting in Claims. The Contractor

every kind and character arising in favor of the Contractor
or any third party (including but not limited to personnel
V -B -4

Contractor or Subcontractor, or Sub - subcontractor on the work
premises, all regardless of whether or not the Owner or its
employees or representatives are negligent in whole or in part.
C. PART THREE
V -C -1
1. Prosecution of Work. The Owner, on reasonable notice
in writing to the Contractor, may stop any portion of the work
if, in its judgement, the weather or other conditions, such as
labor troubles, unsatisfactory workmen, poor materials, improper
construction methods, or noncompliance with the Specifications
or other contract documents, prevent the work from being done
properly.
If the Owner does not stop the work or any portion thereof
for any of the reasons given above, however, this shall not be
taken to mean approval by the Owner of any portion of the work
which does not fully comply with all the Specifications, guar-
antees, and other provisions of these contract documents.
For delays occasioned by any act, neglect, or default of
the Owner or its representatives, the Owner or its representa-
tives shall not be held liable for damages on account thereof.
2. Changes, Alterations, and Extra Work. The Contractor
agrees that the Owner may make such changes and alterations as
the Owner may see fit in the form, dimensions, numbers, plans,
or materials for the work herein contemplated or any part
thereof, either before or after the beginning of the work, with-
out affecting the validity of this contract and any accompany-
ing bond. Such changes shall not constitute the basis for a
claim for damages or anticipated profits on the contemplated
work that may be dispensed. If they increase the amount of work
and the increased work can be fairly classified under the con-
tract documents, such increase shall be paid for according to
the quantity actually done and at the unit price established for
such work under this contract. Otherwise, such additional work
shall be paid for as extra work. It is agreed that the Contrac-
tor shall perform all extra work directed by the Owner when
presented with a written order signed by the Owner's designated
representative. It is also agreed that the compensation to be
paid the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be
determined by one or more of the following methods: Method A,
by agreed unit prices; Method B, by agreed lump sum; or Method
C, if neither Method A nor Method B can be agreed upon before
the extra work is commenced, then the Contractor shall be paid
the actual field cost of the work plus 15 percent. No claim
for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in
writing by the Owner.
3. Performance Bond. The Contractor shall furnish per-
formance bonds in an amount at least equal to 100 percent of
the total price shown for Item 1, Item 2, and Item 3 in the
V -C -2
Proposal, as security for the faithful performance of this con-
tract and for payment of all persons performing labor and fur-
nishing materials in connection with this contract. The form
of the bond and the bonding company shall be approved by the
Owner.
4. Price for Work and Method of Payment. In considera-
tion of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment, and
materials and the completion of all work by the Contractor and
upon completion of all work embraced in this contract in full
conformity with the Specifications and other contract docu-
ments, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor on the basis of

pay the Contractor as follows:
a. After each phase of work provided for in these
Specifications and other contract documents is
completed to the satisfaction of the Owner,
payment will be made from an invoice, rendered
by the Contractor and approved by the Owner on
the basis of measurements of the actual depths,
lengths, times, and equipment provided and on
the basis of unit prices given in the Contrac-
tor's Proposal, for 95 percent of the completed
and accepted work for which payment has not
been previously made, provided that the Con-
tractor has established to the satisfaction of
the Owner that all claims for labor and mate-
rials have been paid in full. For purposes of
payment of invoices three phases of work are
defined as follows: (1) the drilling, sampling,
and geophysical logging of test holes prior to
the reaming and pump testing of a test hole;
(2) the reaming and pump testing of a test hole;
and (3) the completed construction and testing
of a water well. Progress payments will not be

pleted to the satisfaction of the Owner, the
Owner shall, not more than 30 days after such
satisfactory completion, provided the Contractor
has established to the satisfaction of the Owner
V -C -3
that all claims for labor and materials have
been,paid in full, pay the Contractor the
balance of the invoices which have been approved
by the Owner.
5. Guarantee. The Contractor shall guarantee that the
construction performed and materials and equipment furnished
under this contract for the well shall be free from defects
in workmanship and materials for a period of 1 year from the
date the Owner commences use of the well. Neither the final
acceptance nor final payment nor any provision in the contract
documents shall relieve the Contractor of the responsibility
for faulty equipment or materials furnished by him or for
faulty workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto
to the satisfaction of the Owner and pay for any damage to the
well, pump, or motor resulting therefrom which shall appear
within this period. The Owner shall give notice of observed
defects with reasonable promptness. Failure on the part of
the Contractor either to repair or replace such defects imme-
diately upon notice shall entitle the Owner, if it sees fit,
to repair or replace the same and recover the reasonable cost
of such repair or replacement from the Contractor and /or his
sureties.
VI
SPECIFICATIONS FOR TEST HOLE DRILLING
VI -1
1. General. The test holes will be drilled by the air
rotary method to obtain geologic and hydrologic information con-
cerning the water - bearing formations at the test hole sites. It
is planned that the test holes will average about 650 feet deep,
but the Owner may require that any or all of the test holes be
drilled to a greater or lesser depth if conditions indicate the
desirability of this. The purpose of the test holes will be to
obtain all or part of the following: logs of the formations,
representative drill cutting samples from all geologic forma-
tions encountered, water samples from selected water - bearing
zones, and water levels representing selected water - bearing
zones. It is expected that three or more test holes will be
drilled and tested. The Owner reserves the right, however, to
add or delete test holes and to require any water sampling it
desires from any test hole.
2. Diameter. The initial diameter of each hole shall be
at least 6 inches.
3. Drillers' Log. During the drilling of each test hole,
a detailed drillers' log shall be kept of all formations encoun-
tered, giving complete descriptions of all formations.
4. Temporary Surface Casing. At least 10 feet of 12-
inch casing shall be set in the top of each test hole so that
all of the drilling fluid and drill cuttings will circulate out
of the test hole through the casing. The top of the casing
shall extend above the natural ground level. The temporary cas-
ing will be left in each test hole until such time as the hole
is plugged or is reamed to a larger diameter.
5. Drill Cutting Samples. Drill cutting samples shall
be collected at intervals of approximately 10 feet throughout
the total depth of the hole. Samples may be required at inter-
vals for more or less than 10 feet as directed by the Owner.
Collection of samples shall be by the following method. The
penetration of the bit shall stop when the bottom of the sam-
pling interval is reached and circulation of air shall be con-
tinued for such time as is required for all the cuttings to
move from the last drilled section of the hole to the top of
the ground. The cuttings shall be caught in a 5- gallon bucket
set beneath the drilling rig.
The Contractor shall provide at least two clean buckets
for sample collection and one for washing the cuttings.
Clear wash water shall be provided by the Contractor for
washing drill cutting samples.
The Contractor's personnel shall collect samples under
direction of the Owner.
Two 1 -pint portions of each sample taken shall be pre-
served in cloth sample bags and marked as to depth and hole
identification. One set of samples shall be retained on the
job for inspection. The Contractor shall deliver one set of
the samples to the Owner.
VI -2
6. Drift Indicator Survey. Readings with an Eastman
mechanical drift indicator or approved equal shall be made in
the pilot hole at intervals of approximately 20 or 30 feet of
depth to the total depth of the hole. If any reading taken in-
dicates a deflection of the hole from vertical of one degree or
more, the Contractor shall correct the alignment so that the
deflection from vertical is less than one degree or abandon and
plug the pilot hole and drill at his own expense another pilot
hole. The mechanical drift indicator disks shall be made avail-
able to the Owner during the course of the work. In case of
disagreement between the Contractor and the Owner as to the
mechanical drift indicator interpretations, the mechanical
drift indicator disks shall be analyzed by Eastman and two
copies of Eastman's interpretation of the survey shall be sup-
plied to the Owner. A full set of originals or exact copies of
the disks, with their depths, shall be delivered to the Owner
with the Contractor's report provided for in Section VI -10 of
these Specifications.
7. Water Samples. During the drilling of the test hole,
the Owner may require the Contractor to stop penetration of the
bit and continue to blow the hole until the water produced is
relatively clear and free of cuttings. A water sample or set
of samples will then be collected for use in determining changes
in water quality with depth.
8. Geophysical Logs. After the test hole has been
drilled to a depth of 650 feet or to another depth determined
by the Owner, geophysical logs including a natural gamma, den-
sity, and caliper log such as those made by Century Geophysical
Corporation shall be made in the hole. When the required depth
is reached, circulation shall continue until all drill cuttings
have been removed from the hole and the logging service is on
location, after which the drill pipe may be removed from the
hole. The logging service company selected by the Contractor
shall be approved by the Owner.
9. Bottom Hole Plugging. If the results of the drill
cutting sample examination and the geophysical logs show that
VI -3
the test hole has been drilled appreciably deeper than desired,
the Owner may choose to plug the bottom of the test hole. The
depth to which the hole shall be plugged will be selected by
the Owner, and the hole shall be plugged with Portland cement,
using a tremie pipe placed to near the bottom of the hole,
taking care to prevent cement from contacting the sections of
the hole above the cement plug. After the plug has cured, the
position of the top of the plug shall be located by placing the
weight of the drill pipe on the top of the plug.
10. Contractor's Evaluation. Upon completion of each
test hole, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner his recom-
mendation for completion of a production well at the test hole
site. It shall include the Contractor's estimate of the pro-
duction rate that could be expected from the well and his
recommended material settings.
11. Plugging of Test Hole. After the Owner determines
that it no longer needs a test hole to remain open, the Con-
tractor shall plug the hole in the following manner: (1) after
sounding the hole to determine its total depth, fill the hole
from the total depth to 10 feet below the top of the Georgetown
formation with gravel placed through a tremie pipe; (2) place a
cement plug composed of Portland cement from the top of the
gravel to 20 feet above the top of the Georgetown by pumping
the cement through a tremie pipe; (3) fill the remainder of the
hole to land surface with concrete containing a medium aggregate.
The gravel used shall be a clean, washed gravel approved by the
Owner and shall be sterilized during placement by the addition
of sufficient calcium hypochlorite to produce a minimum chlo-
rine concentration of 50 milligrams per liter.
VII
SPECIFICATIONS FOR TEST HOLE REAMING
AND PUMP TESTING
VII -1
1. General. If the Owner decides to test the production
rate of a test hole before proceeding with the construction of
a production well, the Contractor shall ream the test hole and
conduct a pumping test or series of tests in it.
2. Reaming. The test hole shall be reamed to a base
depth of 650 feet or another depth determined by the Owner to
a minimum diameter of 12 inches or to a larger diameter at the
Contractor's option to facilitate the setting of the pump.
3. Casing. The Contractor may, at his option, elect to
set temporary casing to protect the pump during the test.
4. Well Development. After the test hole has been
reamed to total depth, the reamed hole shall be developed for
a base period of 8 hours by pumping with airlift, or other
means, and the test pump specified in Section VII -5. The de-
velopment shall be continued until the hole is thoroughly
cleaned and the water produced is reasonably clear.
5. Test Pump Equipment. The Contractor shall furnish,
install, and operate a test pump complete with engine or elec-

pump to assist in regulating the rate of discharge.
VII -2
6. Pumping Test Schedule. Unless otherwise required
by the Owner, the pumping tests of the well shall be made for
a period of 16 hours. However, without any extra charge by the
Contractor, the Owner shall have the right to change this sched-
ule as it sees fit and to increase or decrease the number of
hours of actual pumping time within the base amount of 16 hours
of testing time herein specified. If testing for more or less
than 16 hours is required by the Owner, the cost shall be ad-
justed according to the unit prices for testing time given in
the Proposal.
7. Pumping Rates and Measurements. A series of step
tests and a continuous test shall be run at rates of production
as determined by the Owner. The Owner may select any rates
within the capacity of the pumping equipment specified in Sec-
tion VII -5. Measurements of the rates of production and the
water levels shall be taken and recorded by the Contractor at
intervals to be specified by the Owner during the tests. Mea-
surements of the water level shall be made with a steel tape
or electric measuring line to the nearest 100th of a foot and
checked by means of an air line. Immediately prior to the step
tests and after the pump has been installed, the pump shall not
be operated for a period of at least 1 hour. After the pumping
tests have been completed, the pump shall not be operated for
a period of at least 3 hours. During these shutdown periods,
water -level measurements shall be made by the Contractor at
15- minute intervals.
8. Removal of Pump. After the pumping for the pumping
tests required by the Owner is completed, the pump shall not be
removed from the well until the recovery period designated by
the Owner is completed.
9. Plugging of Reamed Test Hole. If the Owner decides
that a water well will not be completed in a reamed test hole,
the test hole shall be plugged at the Owner's option in the
manner described in Section VI -11.
V
SPECIFICATIONS FOR WELL CONSTRUCTION,
DEVELOPMENT, AND TESTING
VIII -1
1. General. The Owner will decide whether a water well
will be constructed in a reamed and tested test hole.
Based on information obtained during the drilling, ream-
ing, and testing of the test hole, the Contractor shall make
recommendations to the Owner regarding selection of the depth
to which surface casing should be set and the depths and
lengths of blank and slotted liner that should be set below
the surface casing.
The Owner, after considering the recommendations of the
Contractor, will select the depth to which the surface casing
shall be set and the depths and lengths of the slotted and
blank liner. If the Owner's selections differ from the Con-
tractor's recommended material settings and if the Contractor
objects to the Owner's selections, the Contractor shall imme-
diately present to the Owner in writing his objections and
reasons therefore and shall discontinue work on the well until
a decision is reached in this regard. No waiting or rig time
shall be charged during this period. Otherwise, the Contractor
shall construct the required well in the test hole, meeting all
the provisions and guarantees of these Specifications and other
contract documents.
The upper part of the test hole will be reamed to a depth
selected for setting surface casing, and after the casing is
set and cemented, the test hole below the bottom of the casing
will be reamed to the base of the Edwards and associated lime-
stones. If possible, a liner with blank and slotted pipe will
be set in the hole below the bottom of the surface casing.
The work to be done on the water well is described in
part by the attached drawing, Figure 1. Estimated depths and
lengths of material settings for the well are shown on this
figure and are given in Item 3 of the Proposal. Actual depths
and lengths of materials will be determined from the test
hole information.
2. Eighteen -Inch Surface Casing.
a. Reaming. The test hole selected for comple-
tion as a well shall be stage reamed from 12
inches to a minimum diameter of 22 inches for
the 18 -inch surface casing.
VIII -2
b. Casing. The surface casing which shall be
set shall be new 18 -inch O.D., 0.375 -inch
wall thickness, at least 70.6 pounds per foot,
steel A.P.I. line pipe, Grade B or better,
with plain ends beveled for welding.
The surface casing shall be equipped with
centering guides, with the first set of guides
located about 4 feet above the bottom of the
casing and then one set approximately every
80 feet above that to the land surface to hold
the casing in the center of the hole. The top
of the casing shall extend 2 feet above land
surface.
c. Welding. Welding of the surface casing shall
be done in accordance with the American Weld-
ing Society Specifications and the American
Petroleum Institute Specifications.
d. Sizing and Alignment Test Inside Casing. After
the 18 -inch casing is set in the hole, the Con-
tractor shall run a 40 -foot length of pipe or a
dummy through the entire length of the casing to
make sure that the casing has remained round and
there are no sharp bends or "doglegs" in its
alignment. This test, at the Contractor's op-
tion, may be conducted before or after the sur-
face casing is cemented in place. The outer
diameter of the pipe shall not be more than
1 inch smaller than the inside diameter of the
18 -inch casing. The pipe shall have a wall
thickness of 3/8 inch. If the Contractor
wishes, he may substitute a 40 -foot dummy of
equal rigidity for the pipe. The dummy shall
have three rings attached to it, one at each
end and one in the middle. Each of the rings
shall be truly cylindrical and the outer diam-
eter of the rings shall be no more than 1 inch
smaller than the inside diameter of the casing.
Should the pipe or dummy fail to move freely
through the entire length of the 18 -inch casing,
the Contractor shall at his own expense correct
the problem so that the pipe or dummy does move
freely through the entire length of the casing
or abandon and plug the hole and drill another
hole at the site.
e. Cementing. Prior to setting the surface casing,
the hole below the depth selected for the bottom
VIII -3
of the casing shall be sounded with drill pipe
to determine the depth to which the cuttings
from the reaming have filled the hole. If the
top of the cuttings is more than 3 feet below
the depth selected for the bottom of the casing,
the hole shall be filled to within 3 feet below
that depth with sand and fine gravel placed
through a tremie pipe. If cuttings have filled
the hole to the depth selected for the bottom
of the casing, they shall be cleaned out to
3 feet below that depth.
A cement plug, placed by pouring or pumping
cement through a tremie pipe, shall be placed
in the hole between the depths of 1 foot and
3 feet below the depth selected for the bottom
of the casing. The plug shall be allowed to
set for a minimum of 12 hours before the sur-
face casing is cemented in place. The depth
to the top of the cement plug shall be sounded
by placing the weight of the drill pipe on it
before the casing is installed in the hole.
If the top of the plug is too high, it shall
be drilled out to the proper depth. If the
top of the plug is too low, another plug shall
be placed in the hole if required by the Owner.
The casing shall be cemented in place with a
minimum of 2 inches of cement around the out-
side of the casing from bottom to top. The
cement shall be placed by a standard Halliburton
cementing method, involving pumping through a
tremie pipe inside the casing from the bottom
of the casing up the outside of the casing.
Placement of the cement around the casing shall
be done by a well cementing company approved by
the Owner. The cement used shall be Portland
with not to exceed 8 percent gel additive. The
cement and gel shall be mixed with water to have
a slurry weight of not less than 13.1 pounds per
gallon. The slurry shall be weighed with a stan-
dard mud balance and the slurry weight shall be
maintained as specified during the cementing
operation. A reserve of at least 50 percent
over the calculated volume of cement required
for the cementing shall be stocked on location
as a safety factor to fill washouts in the hole.
The cement after placement shall be allowed to
set for a period of not less than 24 hours,
after which the plug at the bottom of the
VIII -4
casing may be drilled. In the event cement
is lost in a cavity or loss circulation zone
outside the casing and does not return to the
land surface, the tremie pipe will be run out-
side the casing to the loss zone and fill -up
will be made using sand and /or fine gravel to
a few feet above the loss zone. Following
fill -up, cement will be placed through a
tremie pipe to the ground surface or to such
a depth as designated by the Owner.
4. Hole Below Surface Casing and 14 -Inch Liner.
a. Reaming. The hole below the surface casing
shall be reamed to a diameter of 17 inches
or greater to the base of the Edwards.
If the hole will not remain open to the base
of the Edwards, the 14 -inch liner shall be set
in the hole to the depth at which the hole re-
mains open. The hole below the 14 -inch liner
shall be drilled to the base of the Edwards
and associated limestones and have a completed
diameter of at least 12 inches. If required
by the Owner, a torch - slotted 10 -3/4 -inch liner
shall be set in the 12 -inch hole below the 14-
inch liner.
b. Fourteen -Inch Liner. The liner shall be new
14 -inch O.D., 0.312 -inch wall thickness, at
least 45.6 pounds per foot, steel A.P.I. line
pipe with plain ends beveled for welding. The
bottom of the liner shall be set at the bottom
of the 17 -inch diameter hole, and the top of
the liner shall extend about 10 feet above the
bottom of the surface casing.
If the 17 -inch diameter hole cannot be drilled
to the base of the Edwards, as discussed in
Paragraph 4 -a of this section, the distance
that the liner extends into the surface casing
shall be increased by the length of the 17 -inch
hole that cannot be kept open.
The lower portion of the liner shall be mill
or torch slotted. The slots shall be parallel
to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, and the
length of the slots shall be at least 6 inches.
There shall be approximately 3 inches between
the slots transversely and 4 inches between
VIII -5
the slots vertically. The slots in each row
of slots around the pipe shall be staggered
approximately 1 -1/2 inches with respect to
the slots in the rows on either side. The
width of the slot openings shall be approx-
imately 3/8 to 1/2 inch.
The liner shall be equipped with centering
guides, with the first of guides placed about
4 feet above the bottom of the liner and then
one set approximately every 80 feet above that
to the top of the liner.
c. Ten - and - Three - Quarter - Inch Liner. The 10 -
inch liner shall be new 10 -3/4 -inch O.D.,
0.365 -inch wall thickness, at least 40.5 pounds
per foot, steel A.P.I. line pipe with plain
ends beveled for welding. The bottom of the
10 -3/4 -inch liner shall be set at the bottom
of the well, and the top of the 10 -inch liner
shall be about 2 feet above the bottom of the
14 -inch liner. The 10 -3/4 -inch liner shall be
slotted in the same manner as the 14 -inch liner,
as specified in Paragraph 4 -b of this section.
The top of the 10 -3/4 -inch liner shall be
centered in the 14 -inch liner with centering
guides placed 1 foot below the top of the
10 -3/4 -inch liner.
d. Welding. Welding of the liner shall be done
in accordance with the American Welding Society
Specifications and the American Petroleum In-
stitute Specifications.
5. Well Development. After the construction of the well
is completed, the well shall be developed by bailing, pumping
with airlift, or other means and then with the test pump speci-
fied in Section VIII -7. The base period for development shall
be 8 hours. The development shall be continued until the well
is thoroughly cleaned and the water produced is clear. The
well shall be cleaned out to its bottom before the test pump
is installed.
6. Sterilization. Before the test pump is installed,
the well shall be sterilized with at least 50 pounds of approx-
imately 70 percent granulated calcium hypochlorite. The calcium
hypochlorite shall be placed in the slotted portion of the well
with a bailer and agitated. After the test pump is installed,
at least 25 pounds of approximately 70 percent granulated cal-
cium hypochlorite shall be poured in the well and the well
A valve shall be provided on the pump dis-
charge near the pump to assist in regulating
the rate of discharge.
shall be agitated by turning the pump on and off without dis-
charging water at the surface.

pumping rates from 500 gallons per minute to
2,000 gallons per minute. The Contractor shall
furnish at least 50 feet of pipe, if necessary,
to conduct the water away from the well during
development and the pumping tests. The pump
and engine shall be in good operation condition.
The pump and engine (or electric motor) shall
have a capacity ranging from not more than
500 gallons per minute with a pumping level
no deeper than 200 feet to at least 2,000 gal-
lons per minute with a pumping level of 500
feet. The pump shall be equipped for depths
of pump settings as great as 500 feet. No
component of the pump shall have an outside
diameter of more than 12 inches. The Con-
tractor shall provide evidence to the Owner
that the pump and engine have the required
capacities before they are installed.
b. Pumping Test Schedule. Unless otherwise
required by the Owner, the pumping tests of
the well shall be made for a period of 80
hours according to the schedule described in
Sections VIII -7 -c and VIII -7 -d. However, the
Owner shall have the right to change this
schedule as it sees fit and to increase or
decrease the number of hours of actual pumping
time within the base amount of 80 hours of
testing time herein specified. If testing
for more or less than 80 hours is required
by the Owner, the cost shall be adjusted ac-
cording to the unit prices for testing time
given in the Proposal.
VIII -7
c. Initial Step Tests. An 8 -hour series of step
tests shall be run at rates of production as
determined by the Owner. The Owner may select
any rates within the capacity of the pumping
equipment specified in Section VIII -7 -a, and
may require that the steps be run in any order.
Measurements of the rates of production and the
water levels shall be taken by the Contractor
at 15- minute intervals during the tests. Mea-
surements of the water level shall be made with
a steel tape or electric measuring line to the
nearest 100th of a foot and checked by means
of an air line. Immediately prior to the step
tests and after the pump has been installed,
the pump shall not be operated for a period of
at least 3 hours. After the pumping for the
step tests has been completed, and prior to the
continuous test, the pump shall not be operated
for a period of at least 12 hours. During these
shutdown periods, water -level measurements shall
be made by the Contractor at 15- minute intervals.
d. Continuous Test. After the minimum 12 -hour
recovery period, a 48 -hour continuous pumping
test shall be run at a constant rate of produc-
tion as determined by the Owner. The Owner
may select any rate within the capacity of the
pumping equipment specified in Section VIII -7 -a.
Measurements of the rate of production and depth
of water level shall be taken by the Contractor
at 15- minute intervals during the test. After
the continuous pumping test has been completed,
measurements of the recovery of the water level
shall be made by the Contractor at 15- minute
intervals for a 12 -hour period.
e. Removal of Pump. After the pumping for the
pumping tests required by the Owner is com-
pleted, the pump shall not be removed from
the well until the recovery period designated
by the Owner is completed.
8. Well Cleaning. After testing of the well is com-
pleted and the pump is pulled, the well shall be sounded and
if there is more than 5 feet of material inside the well above
the bottom of the well, this material shall be cleaned out of
the well.
9. Acidizing. The Owner may wish to acidize the well
to increase its capacity. In this event, one or more acid
VIII -8
treatments shall be performed by a company which specializes
in this type of service, such as Dowell or B. J. Titan Services.
Fifteen percent hydrochloric acid with a corrosion inhibitor
shall be used unless a substitute is approved by the Owner.
The amount of the acid used shall be determined by the Owner,
but may be as much as 5,000 gallons per set -up. The Contractor
shall provide fresh -water storage tanks holding at least 1 gal-
lon of flush water for the acidizing company to use for each
gallon of acid used. The well shall be cleaned by pumping
with the test pump immediately after each acid treatment is
completed. Additional pumping tests shall also be run as
required by the Owner.
For acidizing, the test pump shall be removed from the
well and the acid distributed through the entire length of the
slotted portion of the liner through drill pipe or a tremie pipe.
10. Capping. After completion and testing and after
approval of the well by the Owner, the well shall be capped in
a manner approved by the Owner. Before capping, it shall be
sterilized by adding 10 pounds of approximately 70 percent cal-
cium hypochlorite tablets.
11. Well Records. Upon completion of the well, the
