The Netherland Red Cross (NLRC ) has carried out a hydrogeological study of the Grand Gosier and its surroundings in orer to assess the possibilities of groundwater extraction to supply drinking water to the population.

The study has revealed the existence in the area of a calcareous aquifer of great extension and thickness, which could have a high permeability caused by karstificacion. Also it is estimated that water resources could be sufficient not only to supply drinking water to the Commune but also for agricultural development of the area through irrigation.

However, in the aquifer, at least in the investigated area, there is not any drill hole; and, therefore, its hydraulic properties are unknown: permeability and possible yield of the extraction wells; piezometric features (hydraulic gradients and water levels); and water quality.
Therefore, The Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) is offering this tender for drilling a water extraction borehole in Grand Gosier, south of Haiti, - -Latitude: 18ᵒ 11'37, 14"N / Longitude: 71ᵒ55' 0,42'' W/ Elevation: 100± 5m a.s.l.

This is in order to determinate the hydraulic parameters of the calcareous aquifer at Grand Gosier and, especially, the water depth and its chemical quality.

Technical specification to drill the search for water extraction borehole are part of Annex I.

oThe drill of a small diameter hydrogeological research borehole

oGeophysical logging of the research borehole

oWidening the research borehole until a diameter enough to allow to be cased to the extraction of water (Ø 17 1/2'')

The borehole can be drilled by down hole hammer system or direct reverse rotary.

The expected litholgy is: compacted occasionally-karstified limestones; dip between 15-20ᵒ to 50-6-0ᵒ.
