Provision of Project Management of the Gascoyne Food Bowl Drilling

The Department of Agriculture and Food’s requirement for the provision of Project Management of Drilling, Test Pumping and Ancillary Services as a means for DAFWA to extend the NGR as part of the Gascoyne Food Bowl project.
The successful Respondent is required to:
• Assist in the tender documentation by generating three separate scope of works/specification documents containing technical requirements;
• Provide technical advice to the DAFWA panel during the evaluation to engage drilling, test pumping and ancillary services contractors;
• Process data to assist drill site selection;
• Supervise the drilling operations including HSE requirements;
• Geologically and geophysically log the bores;
• Generate bore logs compiled in a bore completion report; and
• Generate a H3 hydrogeological report to support application for a groundwater allocation.
Works are anticipated to begin as soon as practicable as the project has already experienced significant setbacks and as a Royalties for Regions funded project, the Ministerial Committee (Agriculture, Water and Regional Development) is keen to see some progress given the shortage of water the Carnarvon district/industry now faces.
