Scope overview
The Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited (GNS) is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified vendor(s) who will be responsible for providing drilling services for a series of shallow bore holes in the Gisborne region. This RFP process intends to appoint a drilling services provider to drill two sets of bore holes required by GNS Science and Gisborne District Council (GDC).
The successful tenderer will enter into separate contracting agreements with GNS & GDC to provide drilling services for each set of bore holes. GDC�s drilling programme is aimed at gathering information (through exploratory bore drilling) of the aquifers on the East Coast.
As a regional council, Gisborne District Council�s requirements under the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management is to measure the quality and quantity of the freshwater above and underground within our region. This project will help GDC meet these requirements on the East Coast. The desired outcome for this project is to have the aquifer systems in the East Coast characterised.
This will be achieved by: � Community and stakeholder engagement � Bore drilling, monitoring bore installation and groundwater level monitoring � Aquifer testing and analysis � Water quality sampling and analysis � Logging the lithology and sediment characteristics of subsurface conditions in the drilled borehole, including both groundwater bearing and non-groundwater bearing layers.
GNS Science aims for the information gained from the drilling programme to contribute to a broader MBIE sponsored programme platform called Aqua Intel Aotearoa (AIA) involving GNS and Kanoa REDIU. AIA is a broad programme of investigation into water storage opportunities across New Zealand, with a strong focus on groundwater resources.
This RFP aims to procure the services of an experienced drilling company to undertake the drilling and aquifer test components of the programme at selected locations in East Coast catchments. Through the monitoring bores and the drilling activity, the programme aims to obtain information on the geology and hydrogeology of the area.
This information may be used to help develop a future hydrogeological model for the catchments. Maximizing core recovery is a critical aspect. The programme of drilling activity will be in two phases, involving a community engagement phase led by GDC and GNS in which the successful Respondent will participate, followed by a phase of drilling works. The vendor(s) will report to
