Amendment #1 Pre-bid questions & answers.docx

This is an Amendment #1 Pre-bid Questions and Answers document issued by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) regarding a well remediation project. The amendment clarifies requirements that arose during the pre-bid meeting and provides guidance to contractors preparing bids for the project. The primary scope involves anchor cutting and burial work, as well as tubing removal and salvage from a well site. Contractors must prepare bids assuming all four anchors require cutting and burial, rather than just the two easternmost anchors as initially discussed during the pre-bid conference. This requirement change reflects uncertainty regarding final reclamation activities and the resulting final grade elevation at the project location.

Regarding salvage operations, the COGCC has determined that estimated salvage costs for removed tubing do not justify the agency's resources for conducting an auction. Consequently, the contractor assumes responsibility for disposition of all tubing removed from the well. The COGCC encourages the selected bidder to negotiate tubing salvage directly with the landowner to potentially offset project costs or create additional revenue opportunities.
