Both wells. shall be designed to operate at 105 psi ground level pressure and shall be capable of operating continuously at 50 psi without damage to the . pump. Prior to proceeding to- contract, plans and Specifications shall be sub- mitted to Agency for approval . Rohnert Park shall construct the Wilfred and Hinebaugh wells In the same manner as those previously constructed by Rohnert Park, to wit: ( I ) dosign of the installation including chlorination and pressure tank; (2) acquisition of site; (3) test hole drilling and electrical log and analysis thereof by ground water specialists to determine probable yield of well and location of ground water strata; (4) drilling of full size well , casing, screening, gravel packing and sealing; (5) development of well ; and (6) placement of pump to correspond with the yield of the well , pressure • tank, 6-inch meter per Agency's standards and appurtenant facilities. In the event that electrical logs and analysts thereof indicate probable capacity of less than 300 gallons per minute (GPM) from a developed well , the well site shall be •abandoned unless the parties hereto agree to proceed with the full installation. 2.
