For purposes of this construction contract, the anticipated location of site activities will occur throughout the current C-44 Reservoir site adjacent to the perimeter canal. The wells will be constructed by typical means of water well construction and typical of USACE relief well construction, as prescribed in EM 1110-2-1914 Design, Construction and Maintenance of Relief Wells. The site where the relief wells will be constructed is relatively flat and grass covered with nearby access from existing gravel surfaced roads. There is an existing canal approximately 35 feet from the well locations and the groundwater level varies with reservoir stage and is generally higher than the canal water level. The work generally consists of: Construction of approximately 30 pre-designed relief wells issued with the contract and at the prescribed locations. For relief wells not pre-designed by the government: Performing pilot holes that consist of sampling (standard penetration test) and testing (gradation analysis) and providing the results to the government at the prescribed locations and intervals. The government will analyze the sampling and testing results and provide final construction details for each contract-designed relief well. Construction of contract designed relief wells at the prescribed pilot holes, utilizing the same materials prescribed for the pre-designed relief wells. Documenting the construction, development, and pump testing of all wells. Well construction will require managing borehole wall stability for a variety of subsurface conditions that may consist of surficial clayey and silty sands, very loose uniform fine sands, dense sands having varying degrees of cementation, limestone/sandstone, and sand to cobble size shells. Groundwater conditions are likely to be slightly artesian at the well locations. **PROJECT LOCATION:** Indiantown, FL NAICS CODE 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction with a small business size standard of $45.0mil. **POINT OF CONTACT (POC):** Questions regarding this event can be directed to Rasheedah Sneeze at 904-232-1432 or rasheedah.s.sneeze@usace.army.mil. **ATTACHMENTS:** THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME. ## Publications - August 5, 2024: Special notice, due August 21, 2024 at 9:00 AM EDT.
