boring data and all other soils information and as-built data made available and by submission of
the bid herein avows that it has satisfied itself as to the character, quality and quantity of surface
and subsurface materials or existing obstacles to be encountered. The Contractor acknowledges
that boring data and other soils information and as-built data made available is only a general
indication of materials and/or conditions likely to be found adjacent to holes bored or in existing
structures or facilities or other areas. If the Contractor determines that the information is
erroneous, inadequate or ambiguous, it shall immediately report its conclusions to the City in
writing. If the Contractor determines that the information is erroneous, inadequate, or
ambiguous, and after reporting its conclusions to the City, remains dissatisfied or uninformed,

Contractor shall be deemed to have waived any claim it may have as the result of the alleged
erroneous, inadequate or ambiguous information.

this section, without prompt written notice to the Owner and the Architect and request for
correction, clarification or additional information, as appropriate, the Contractor does so at its
own risk and expense and all claims relating thereafter are specifically waived.

The Contractor shall immediately, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the
City in writing of:
1.
Subsurface or latent physical conditions encountered at the site which differ

available at bid time and which could adversely affect the timely performance of the Work or its
cost; or
2.
Unknown and unexpected physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature,
differing materially from those ordinarily encountered in the locale or generally recognized as
inherent in Work of the character provided for in the Contract.
E.
The City shall within ten (10) days, or such other reasonable time as necessary, investigate
the conditions discovered. If the City find that conditions are so materially different as to support
an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, this will be done by written
Change Order. If the City determine that no Change Order will be issued, the Contractor shall
continue with the Work at no additional cost and under no change in Contract Time.

for the Work assigned to it by the Contract Documents. No inspection by the City shall constitute
or imply acceptance or waiver of rights.

ARTICLE 19
DELAYS AND TIME EXTENSIONS
A.
If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect
of the City, or by any separate Contractor employed by the City, or by changes in the Work, or by
labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unusually severe weather conditions,
adverse soil conditions, unavoidable casualties, delays specifically authorized by the City, or by
negligence of the Contractor or Subcontractor or Supplier at any tier, then the Contract Time
shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the City may determine that such
event has delayed the critical path of the Work or individual milestone or overall completion of
the Work after considering the advice of the City, if the Contractor complies with the notice and
documentation requirements set forth below. The Contractor shall pay any additional fees or
costs incurred by the City as the result of delays caused by the Contractor for circumstances not
excused as provided herein.
B.
Initial notice of any delay in the Work shall be made in writing to the City immediately but
in no event later than 24 hours after discovery of the event giving rise to the delay. Then,
Contractor shall provide additional details of the delay in writing to the City within seven (7)
calendar days from the beginning of the delay. Failure to meet these time requirements shall
absolutely bar any and all later claims. The detailed notice shall indicate the cause of the delay,
the anticipated length of the delay, the probable effect of such delay upon the progress and cost
of the Work, and potential mitigation plans. If the cause of the delay is continuing, the Contractor
must give written notice every month at the same time it submits the updated progress Narrative
Report to the City. Within fifteen (15) days after the elimination of any such delay, the Contractor
shall submit further documentation of the delay and, if applicable, a formal written request
covering an extension of time for such delay. The written request for time extension shall state
analysis of the Progress Schedule, including a fragnet and any other data demonstrating a delay
in the critical path of the Work or individual milestone or the overall project completion. If the
Contractor does not comply with the notice and documentation requirements set forth above,
the claim for delay is absolutely barred.
C.
If the Contractor incurs damages related to expenses caused by a delay for which the City
is solely responsible, which is unreasonable under the circumstances, and which was not
contemplated by the parties at the time of formation of this Contract, then the parties shall
notified the City in writing as specified above, including why the City is believed by the Contractor
to be solely responsible for the delay. Failure to provide such timely notice shall be deemed an
Ventana Ranch Well No. 2 - Drilling Services
Contract No. 32600108
K.P. Ventures Well Drilling and Pump Company, LLC
24
absolute and final waiver of any rights to additional sums. Any disputes will be resolved in
accordance with the City of Buckeye Procurement Code, as amended or superseded.
D.
The Contractor shall have no right to claim for alleged extended or unabsorbed home
office overhead; claims for delays shall be limited to provable extended site costs.
E.
The date of beginning and the time for completion as specified herein are ESSENTIAL
CONDITIONS of this Contract; and it is further mutually understood and agreed that the Work
embraced in this Contract shall be commenced on a date to be specified in the notice to proceed
or at a preconstruction meeting, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the execution of
this Contract, whichever first occurs. Said Work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and
without interruption at such rate of progress as will ensure full completion thereof within the
time specified. The time for completion of the same takes into consideration the average climatic
range and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality. If the Contractor shall neglect, fail
or refuse to complete the Work within the time herein specified, or any extension thereof
granted by the City, then the Contractor does hereby agree to pay to City the per diem amount
specified in the Contract. This amount is agreed to be liquidated damages for such breach and
not a penalty therefore. The per diem amount shall be paid for each and every calendar day that
the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the
Work. The amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and City because of
the impracticality and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the City
would in such event sustain. Said sums may be withheld by the City from any amounts due to the
Contractor from the City, whether as the result of this Contract or any other obligation between
the City and the Contractor.
F.
The parties hereby agree that if the Contractor submits an original or updated schedule
which shows the project and/or individual Milestone(s) completing earlier than required by the
adjusted contractual completion date(s), the differences between the forecasted early
completion and the required completion shall be considered Project-owned float available for
use by both the City and the Contractor.
G.
The Contractor shall not sequester shared float through such strategies as extending
activity duration estimates to consume available float, using preferential logic, using extensive
crew/resource sequencing, etc. Since float time within the schedule is jointly owned, no time
extensions will be granted nor delay damages paid until a delay occurs which extends the work
beyond the adjusted Contract completion date. Since float time within the Construction Schedule
is jointly owned, it is acknowledged that City-caused delays on the project may be offset by City-
caused time savings (i.e., critical path submittals returned in less time than allowed by the
Contract, approval of substitution requests which result in a savings of time to the Contractor,
etc.). In such an event, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive a time extension or delay
damages until all City-caused time savings are exceeded and the Contract completion date or
milestone date is also exceeded.

H.
It is agreed that no time extensions shall be granted nor delay damages paid unless the
delay is clearly demonstrated by the updated Construction Schedule current as of the month the
change was issued or the delay occurred and which delay cannot be mitigated, offset, or
eliminated through such actions as revising the intended sequence of work or other reasonable
means.
ARTICLE 20
SUSPENSION OF WORK
A.
The City may, at any time and without cause, order the Contractor in writing or cause the
Contractor to suspend, delay or interrupt all or any part of the Work for such period of time as
the City may determine to be appropriate for its convenience. Equitable adjustment shall be
made for any increase in the Contract Time necessarily caused by such suspension or delay by
written Change Order.
ARTICLE 21
RIGHT TO STOP WORK
A.
If the Contractor fails to correct defective Work as required, or fails to carry out the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents, the City by written notice, may order the Contractor
to stop the Work or any portion of the Work, until the cause for the order has been eliminated
to the satisfaction of the City.
B.
The City may stop Work without written notice for 24 hours whenever in its professional
opinion such action is necessary or advisable to ensure conformity with the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time
under this subsection. The right of the City to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the
part of the City to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or others.
C.
The Contractor has no right to stop Work as a consequence of non-payment. In the event

Claim. If, however, an Application for Payment has been approved for payment by the Owner,
and the Owner fails to make payment within sixty (60) days of the approval for payment by the
Owner, the Contractor may upon ten (10) days written notice to the Owner, stop work if payment
is not made by the Owner within ten (10) days following the notice.

deletion of Work. The Contractor shall not proceed with any change involving an increase or
decrease in cost or time without prior written authorization from the City and shall proceed in

If none of the above methods is agreed upon, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with
performing the change, upon receipt of a written order signed by the City. Any dispute regarding
the pricing methodology or cost of the change shall not relieve the Contractor from proceeding
with the change as directed by the City. The cost or credit to the City shall be determined by the
City on the basis of the preceding subsection.
E.
A fully executed Change Order shall be full and final settlement of all claims for direct,
indirect, delay, disruption, inefficiency and any other consequential costs related to items
covered or affected, as well as time extensions. Any such claim not presented by the Contractor
for inclusion in the Change Order is irrevocably waived.
F.
In an emergency affecting the safety of life, or of the structure, or of adjoining property,
the Contractor, without special instruction or authorization from the City, is permitted to act at
its discretion to prevent threatened loss or injury. Any compensation claimed by the Contractor
on account of such emergency work shall be determined in accordance with this section.

any offset or retainage provisions of the Contract.
B.
Each payment made to the Contractor shall be on account of the total amount payable to
the Contractor, and title to all Work covered by a paid partial payment shall thereupon pass to
the City. Nothing in this section shall be construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole
responsibility for care and protection of materials and Work upon which payments have been
made, for restoration of any damaged Work, or as a waiver of the right of the City to require
fulfillment of all terms of Contract Documents.
C.
The City, within seven (7) days after receipt of the Payment Application, will either issue
a Certificate for Payment for such amount as is properly due or issue written notice of the reasons
for withholding such a certificate.
D.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the City,
observations at the site and the data comprising the Payment Application, that the Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance
with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent
tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents, to minor deviations from the
Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and to any specific qualifications stated in
the certificate); and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
E.
Payment may be withheld in whole or in part to protect the City on account of:
1. Unsatisfactory job progress as determined by the City.
2. Defective Work or materials not remedied.
3. Disputed Work or materials.

of claims or other encumbrances by Subcontractors or Suppliers, or others.
5. Failure of the Contractor to make payment to Subcontractors or Suppliers within
seven (7) days after receipt of each progress payment.

8. Deficiencies or claims asserted by City against Contractor arising from any other
project. Within fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the Certificate of Payment,

Contract is 50% completed at which time the retainage shall be reduced to 5%;

the value of the Work, unless and until it determines satisfactory progress is not being
made, at which time the 10% retainage may be reinstated. Such 10% reinstatement
would be 10% of the total contract value of Work in place and materials stored. The

Within sixty (60) days after the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion by the City
and receipt of all other documents required by the Contract, all retained amounts shall be paid
to Contractor as part of Final Payment:

and final unconditional releases from Subcontractors and major Suppliers acknowledging

RE: City of Buckeye – Ventana Ranch Well No. 2 Drilling
To Whom It May Concern:
Our firm is very interested in this project. We feel our company has the required
experience, manpower, and equipment to complete the project per the specifications. Our
approximate mobilization date is February 2026. This date can change at any time. Due to the
nature of drilling and this project in general, our pricing assumes the Notice to Proceed date is
mutually agreed upon with the City and KP Ventures. Our pricing assumes there is safe and
adequate access to the site for our equipment to complete the project as required. We will
follow the procedure for building and sampling the zones per the technical specifications. We
will build each zone one time per the line-item pricing. If there are any issues with any zones
then any cleaning out, rebuilding, etc. will be time and materials charges. Please let me know if
you have any questions regarding our proposal. Thank you for the opportunity to submit a bid
on this project.
Sincerely,

COMPANY
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
KP Ventures Well Drilling, and Pump Co. LLC is a full service Well Drilling and Pump
Company serving the Southwestern United States. The company was formed in 1997 as a
local Well & Pump company but soon grew to service the well and pump needs of the large
commercial, industrial, and agricultural community.
Today, we service 8 states of the Southwestern US with drilling or pump installer licenses in
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Kansas. Our
Headquarters is in Camp Verde, Arizona but we maintain other locations in Glendale, Arizona,
and Wenden, Arizona. As the demand for our pump and repair services has increased, we
established a fully staffed in-house machine shop that can fabricate many items that we use
for day-to-day pump and rig repairs.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
During drilling of the borehole and the installation of the well, extra care will be required to minimize
chemical and biological disturbance of the vadose zone and saturated alluvial matrix. The use of organic
drilling fluid materials (such as starch, guar, or cottonseed hulls) will not be accepted for drilling. Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) from the manufacturer for all drilling fluid additives must be provided to the
CONSULTANT for review prior to their use. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for maintaining the
quality of the drilling fluid to assure:
1. Protection of water bearing and potential water bearing formations exposed to the borehole.
2. Collection of representative samples of the formation material.
3. Maximum development capability and optimum potential yield of the completed well.
4. Mitigation of formation-caused drilling problems (e.g., heaving sands, swelling clays, lost
circulation).
5. Protection of the integrity of the boring during drilling operations.
6. Ability to conduct thorough and accurate geophysical logging of the borehole.
6.4
LOST CIRCULATION
During drilling of the pilot borehole and/or reaming of the production well borehole, if there is no return of
circulated drilling fluid for a period of at least two continuous hours, the OWNER will compensate the
CONTRACTOR for the period of drilling under lost circulation conditions at the CONTRACTOR'S hourly
rate. Also, the OWNER will provide compensation including the CONTRACTOR¶S percent markup (not
to exceed 5%) for all drilling fluid materials and additives used during the period of lost circulation. The
conditions of this Section shall apply from the beginning of total lost circulation, with no returns at the
land surface, and shall continue only until such time as drilling fluid circulation is regained, with full or
partial returns of drilling fluid at the land surface. After an initial lost circulation event has occurred, should
circulation be lost again, the conditions of this paragraph will go into effect immediately, and continue
until such time as drilling fluid circulation is regained with full or partial returns of drilling fluid at the land
surface.
Lost Circulation Conditions under this Section shall apply only when there is a loss of drilling fluid to the
formation within the borehole, to the extent that the fluid level in the annulus outside the drill pipe cannot
be maintained to a level above the base of the surface casing for at least one (1) hour, due to no fault of
the CONTRACTOR, as determined by the CONSULTANT or OWNER.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the CONSULTANT any time the CONTRACTOR experiences lost

6.5
LOW PENETRATION RATE
During drilling or reaming operations, if a formation is encountered that results in a penetration rate of
less than 3.0 feet per hour for a period of at least two continuous hours, while at least 1,500 pounds per
diameter inch is applied to the drill bit, then the OWNER will compensate the CONTRACTOR for the
period of Low Penetration Rate Conditions at the CONTRACTOR¶S hourly rate, in lieu of footage
compensation. The OWNER will also provide compensation at cost-plus 5 percent markup to the
CONTRACTOR for all drilling bits used during Low Penetration Rate Conditions. During Low Penetration
Rate Conditions, the CONTRACTOR will credit the prorated values of used drilling bits to the OWNER.
The CONTRACTOR is responsible for notifying the CONSULTANT immediately upon the occurrence of
Low Penetration Rate Conditions, and to document the times, quantities, and circumstances of Low
Penetration Rate Conditions during each occurrence. Failure of the CONTRACTOR to promptly notify
the CONSULTANT of Low Penetration Rate Conditions will void the CONTRACTOR¶S opportunity to
implement this clause. The conditions of this Section shall apply from the beginning of Low Penetration
Rate Conditions (less than 3.0 feet per hour) and shall continue only until such time as drilling is resumed
at a rate of 3.0 feet per hour or greater.
Upon invocation of this Section, the CONTRACTOR will trip the drill string out of the hole for inspection
of the drill bit by the CONSULTANT. The conditions of this Section shall apply only if the CONSULTANT¶S
inspection of the drilling bit does not indicate excessive bit wear that would substantially decrease the
penetration rate. If the drill bit inspection indicates that this Section applies, the time expended for drilling
bit removal will be paid by the OWNER under the conditions of this Section. If the CONSULTANT is not
notified during the initial 2-hour period of low penetration, or if the bit inspection reveals excessive wear,
the provisions of this clause will not be invoked.

Drilling fluid shall be maintained to the full depth of the well and the well casing, and screen shall be
maintained in suspension until the filter material placement has been completed to the specified level.
Care must be taken to avoid bridging during installation of the silica sand filter pack. The CONTRACTOR
shall keep a tally of all annulus material installed.
The filter pack shall be installed simultaneous with reverse circulation of drilling fluids down the annulus
at a rate of no less than 250 gpm. At no time shall the bottom of the tremie pipe be located at a distance
greater than 100 feet above the interval being filled during filter pack placement. The level of the filter
pack shall be measured periodically during placement, as required by the CONSULTANT. The method
of filter pack level measurement must be approved by the CONSULTANT. Placement of the filter pack
will be continuous, except when additional precautions are necessary to prevent bridging, or
measurements of the filter pack level are being conducted. The filter pack placement will proceed until
the height of the filter pack is at least twenty five (25) feet above the top of the screen.
Because a swabbing tool is to be used during filter pack installation to prevent bridging, it is imperative
that the CONTRACTOR take extreme caution in order to prevent pressure differences, screen collapse
or borehole collapse.
The quantity of filter pack material placed in the annulus shall not be less than that of the volume
computed based on the results of the caliper log performed after borehole reaming. Upon completion of
the filter pack placement, excess filter material will be judged as an indication of voids in the sand
envelope, and corrective measures shall be undertaken at the CONTRACTOR'S expense. The specific
method of placement and material must be approved by the CONSULTANT.
7.4.3.2
Filter Pack Disinfection
Simultaneous with installation of the filter pack, an NSF-60 approved, 12% by weight sodium hypochlorite
solution approved by the CONSULTANT shall be added to the filter pack at the rate of
gallon per cubic
yard of filter pack material. The liquid sodium hypochlorite solution shall be applied in accordance with
AWWA Standard C654 for disinfection of wells, in such a way that will produce a chlorine concentration
of not less than 50 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in the entire volume of fluid within each well. Documentation
shall be provided to the CONSULTANT prior to installation to demonstrate the hypochlorite does not
exceed a 60-day shelf life (unless otherwise documented by the supplier), in order to prevent deterioration
of hypochlorite concentration.
Installation of the liquid sodium hypochlorite solution shall be accomplished by flushing it into the well
through a closed system that will prevent workers from exposure to chlorine vapors, in accordance with

7.4.1.6. The grout shall be placed to completely fill the annular space between the well casing and the
wall of the borehole from the top of the uppermost bentonite seal to land surface (Figure 2).
The grout shall be placed by pumping through a tremie pipe. Prior to pumping the cement grout through
the tremie pipe into the annulus, the cement grout shall be passed through a 0.5-inch slotted bar strainer,
in order to remove any unmixed lumps. When installing the grout, the discharge end of the tremie shall
be continuously submerged in the grout until the zone to be grouted is completely filled.
The well casing shall be suspended in the borehole to maintain tension on the pipe throughout the
grouting operation. The grout seal shall be placed in as few lifts as possible without compromising the
stability of the well casing. The specific method of installation must be approved by the CONSULTANT.

9.0 FINAL ALIGNMENT TESTING AND VIDEO SURVEY
9.1
PLUMBNESS AND ALIGNMENT TESTING
At the completion of well construction, the plumbness and alignment of the well shall be tested using a
Magnetic Deviation Tool or other device approved by the CONSULTANT. The maximum acceptable drift
shall not exceed two-thirds the smallest inside diameter of that part of the well being tested per 100 feet
of depth as specified by AWWA Specification document A100-20, Section 4.7.9. It is the
CONTRACTOR¶S responsibility to drill, install, and develop the wells with sufficient alignment to permit
the unobstructed installation of the permanent pump equipment without excessive vibration as
recommended by the Hydraulic Institute.
If following the Magnetic Deviation survey, a dogleg in the well casing is observed, the plumbness and
alignment of the well casing shall be tested by lowering a 40-foot-long dummy to the bottom of the well
as specified by AWWA Specification document A100-20, Section 4.7.9, and Appendix D.3. The outer
diameter of the dummy shall be 0.5-inch less than the inside diameter of the casing and screen. The
dummy shall consist of a rigid spindle of 6-inch diameter extra heavy steel pipe with three rigid rings fixed
to the pipe so that they cannot move longitudinally along the pipe. The rings shall be truly cylindrical and
shall be placed one at each end of the dummy and with one ring in the center. The rings shall consist of
suitable materials which will not harm the interior of the casing while being lowered or raised. Should the
dummy fail to move freely throughout the entire length of the casing and screen, the plumbness and/or
alignment of the well casing shall be corrected by the CONTRACTOR at its own expense. The dummy
test for plumbness and alignment must be witnessed by the CONSULTANT to be acceptable.
The CONSULTANT may waive the requirements of plumbness if: (1) the CONTRACTOR has exercised
all possible care in constructing the well and the defect is due to circumstances beyond the
CONTRACTOR'S control, or (2) the utility of the completed well will not be materially affected. In no event
will the provisions of this Section with respect to alignment be waived. The CONTRACTOR shall prepare
a written report of the results of the plumbness and alignment tests to the OWNER. That report shall be
furnished to the CONSULTANT prior to acceptance of the well.
9.2
VIDEO SURVEY
After completion of the well, the CONTRACTOR shall provide a color video survey of the well. The video
survey camera shall include downward-looking and side-view capabilities. The quality and clarity of the
well video must be acceptable to the CONSULTANT and OWNER. The CONSULTANT shall approve
any well additives to increase the clarity of the video. The video survey shall be conducted under the
