TASK ORDER N0.0759
CITY OF MERIDIAN (OWNER)
AND
HYDRO LOGIC, INC. (HYDROGEOLOGIST)
This Task Order is issued by Owner and accepted by the Hydrogeologist pursuant to
the mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained in the Agreement between
the above named parties dated February 18, 2008.
CITY OF MERIDIAN
GROUND WATER LEVEL MONITORING AND AQUIFER TESTING
PURPOSE
The Hydrogeologist's scope of services, time of completion and compensation shall be
as set forth herein. Services shall generally be described as Hydrogeological Consulting
Services per the Consultant's proposal dated February 14.2008.
TASK 1.1 -CITY GROUND WATER LEVEL MONITORING AND AQUIFER TESTING
Per the City's request, Hydrogeologist will measure, maintain, keep secure, document,
plot, and report on the City's long term ground water level monitoring network consisting
of 27 tune wells.
It is anticipated that one annual report of measured water levels will be compiled and
submitted to the City by January 31 ~ of the year following the year during which the
monitoring was done. In other words, the annual monitoring period ends on December
31 ~ for each monitored year and the annual water level compilation to be prepared and
submitted to the City shall be due by January 31~.
The Owner will provide access to conduct the measurements.
Hydrogeologist will make monthly visits (a loop) to all monitoring stations for purposes of
measuring aquifer pressures in the City's monkorng network. Hydrogeologist will also
inspect, repair, and secure as necessary the locking security enclosures using the
Hydrogeologist's own locks. The Hydrogeologist, and not the City, is wholly responsible
for maintaining a secure network of wells and to ensure that the above-ground aquifer
pressures (flowing artesian wells) are contained and that the monitoring wells are not
leaking. During the winter months, the Hydrogeologist will ensure that the flowing wells
are pressurized so that the water levels in the wells are below ground to prevent freezing
and subsequent cracking of the PVC monkorng wells. Hydrogeologist shall enter the
measured water levels into acomputer--based spreadsheet program for plotting and
presentation to the City in an annual report.
Because this is an on-going annual project for the City, three years of monitoring are
anticipated under this task order based upon annual costs for the monitoring from past
years. However, The Public Works Department reserves the right to divert a portion of
the project funds for aquifer testing using the existing City ground water supply wells as
pumping wells and the long-term designated monitoring network as observation points.
In that scenario, project funds may be used to purchase and/or rent continuously-
recording data-loggers for monitoring wells.
Hydrogeologist will work closely with the City's Public Works Department.
TIME OF COMPLETION
Hydrogeologic services will be completed on an as needed basis and time of completion
will be set as services are requested.
COMPENSATION
The Not-To-Exceed amount for this Task Order No. 0759 is twenty-six thousand five-
hundred dollars ($26,500.00). The hourly rate for services and direct expenses is
attached (Prevailing Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 2008) and by this reference
