Hey, I need some help on whether a building served by a well pump needs to have a booster pump too. I haven't dealt with this type of system before, so any help would be great. The current well pump was tested and was 60 GPM @ 0 PSI, 40 GPM @ 60 PSI. I need 59 GPM @ 50 PSI. Do I need to have the booster pump, and how should it be sized??

Knowing nothing about your situation, my first choice is to change the pump to a pump that can do the whole job. Unless there is some reason to avoid changing that existing pump, installing a booster is just a doubling of maintenance costs.
