2026-11-03

The Department of Natural Resources ( DNR ), Division of Agriculture , Plant Material Center ( PMC ) requires an irrigation well for a newly purchased center pivot . This service will require the contractor to drill a large well and install / size the appropriate turbine pump . The well will also need to be developed and flow tested . The well will need to be completed and ready for connection to 480v 3 phase power . See attached picture identifying location for irrigation well installation . Currently the PMC irrigates its main production fields with several older wheel line systems . Water is supplied to each wheel line from six - inch wells that are connected to a large mobile generator . This current system is very inefficient and time consuming to operate . The PMC has purchased a 1 / 4 mile long center pivot with variable rate irrigation ( VRI ) technology . This system requires a large 14 - 16 '' well that can supply 1000gpm . The new center pivot will allow the PMC to control each individual sprinkler head and is self - propelled . This will save water consumption and time . Contractor Deliverables : - Drill 14 - 16 '' well to a depth of 100 - 120 feet . - Provide all necessary hardware for well including turbine pump , casing , perforated pipe , well cap , and any other hardware needed for the well to be ready for power supply connection ( 480v 3 phase power ). - Develop well and conduct standard flow test to ensure well will supply requested ( 1000gpm ). - Mobilize and de - mobilize any needed equipment and hardware for installation of the well .
