Coyote Springs Test Well

The contract involves drilling and testing a single 22-inch exploratory well to a depth of approximately 720 feet, aimed at assessing aquifer yield, hydraulic properties, and water quality. The scope includes installing an 8-inch casing with five segments of stainless steel screens and gravel packs at specific depths corresponding to five production zones. Additionally, five 2-inch piezometers will be installed outside the casing at varying depths to monitor pressure and water characteristics in these zones. The testing phase requires isolating each zone and conducting five 24-hour pump tests to evaluate their productivity, with particular attention to managing artesian pressures that may be present. Post-testing, the casing will be abandoned in place, ensuring the well is properly sealed and stabilized. This project is solicited by the City of Nampa, Idaho, under the NAICS code 334513, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000. The solicitation was posted on September 30, 2025, with responses due by October 15, 2025. The work is part of a larger effort to understand groundwater resources in the area, and interested parties can find additional details and submit their proposals through the city’s bidding portal.
