The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Blue Bay Facility project in Manistee and Benzie Counties, Michigan. The RFP details the requirements for selling and scrapping equipment, including handling Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM), cleaning and disposing of tanks and vessels, and properly managing contaminated waste. The contractor must provide detailed inventories of all equipment to be sold or disposed of, and oversee the sale of salvageable items to the highest bidder. The RFP also addresses the handling of TENORM-contaminated equipment, tubulars, and scrap metal, and specifies that the state will be the generator of any waste, which will be managed under the oil field exempt status. The RFP excludes certain items, such as a semi-trailer and a water well, from the scope of work.
The RFP is related to a state and local contract opportunity in Michigan, specifically in Benzie County, Manistee County, and the Bergland CDP.

Blue Bay Facility Project Q & A
Question 1: What are the requirements for selling and scrapping equipment?
Answer: Remove and if possible, salvage any production equipment. This may include any of the following tasks:
| • | NORM: If required by applicable State or federal law, conduct a Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) survey of the well site. Any NORM (material) found as a result of the Contractor’s survey will be handled, stored, transported, used or recycled according to applicable law. |
| • | Tank and vessel cleanout: All oil contained in tanks or other vessels is to be sold for fair market value along with any oil collected during the well plugging phase of the project. The proceeds from the sale of oil will be deposited in escrow accounts by the purchaser or as directed by the EGLE OSC. Liquid wastes shall be handled and disposed of according to law. Sludge, tank bottoms, and other non-liquid wastes remaining in the vessels shall be removed. The Contractor shall estimate the volume of liquid and non-liquid wastes attributable to each well or battery and include these estimates in the project records. Wastes may be safely hauled to a temporary containment area as directed by the EGLE OSC. Steam cleaning of the tanks may be required. |
| • | Contaminated waste containment: If not immediately transported to an approved landfill, sludge, tank bottoms, and all other non-liquid wastes from the cleanout of equipment are to be placed into diked areas lined with 20 mil PVC plastic and covered so that rainwater will not accumulate in the diked areas. |
| • | Equipment set aside: Equipment need not be gathered to a central location unless, in the judgement of the EGLE OSC, greater efficiency in the subsequent sale of the equipment may be gained. |
| • | Disposition of flowlines: Unless otherwise directed by the EGLS OSC, any piping less than three (3) feet below grade is to be properly purged and removed for salvage or proper disposal. Any piping three (3) feet below grade or deeper is to be properly purged, cut off at least three (3) feet below grade with the ends properly sealed. Wastes are to be handled the same as tank wastes. By “flowline” the State means a pipe for the transmission of fluids from/to a well to/from a tank, tank battery, or common pipeline (sales line) manifold. “Flowline” does not include a purchaser’s gathering lines, manifolds, etc. |
| • | Inventory: Unless otherwise directed by the EGLE OSC, the Contractor shall make two distinct inventories of all equipment to be sold or disposed of. One inventory must be well by well and tank battery by tank battery, listing separately all of the equipment at a particular well site or tank battery. The second inventory must be by equipment category, i.e., tanks, casing, pumpjacks, etc. The inventories shall include item descriptions, amount, condition, and identification numbers. |
| • | Bid and sale of equipment/salvage: |
| o | The Contractor shall make all arrangements for the sale of the salvaged equipment and shall oversee the removal of same from the project area. |
| o | Unless otherwise directed by the EGLE OSC, the sale shall be under the following conditions: sale shall include all equipment such as pumpjacks, pumps, rods, tubing, wellheads, casing, tanks, separators, flowlines, etc. |
| o | The Contractor shall solicit at least three (3) bids on an “as is, where is” basis for all items, including reusable, scrap metal, and junk for disposal, and sell to the highest bidder with payment to the State of Michigan. |
| o | Bids must be reviewed and approved by the EGLE OSC. |
| o | Bids may be taken separately for each category of equipment, such as pumpjacks. |
| o | The high bidder must submit, to the Contractor, full payment and a detailed inventory of the equipment purchased, within five (5) days after bid acceptance and must remove all equipment under the surveillance of the Contractor no later than five (5) days after payment is made. |
| o | Reimbursement for any salvage must be made by check payable to the State of Michigan. |
| o | The project Contractor may not bid on salvage equipment. |
| o | The Contractor agrees that it shall not collect any commission for the salvage sale, nor any compensation related to any lien on the premises or salvage equipment, nor charge any storage, handling, or transportation fees. |
•Salvage removal and disposal: Any equipment not salvaged and all debris resulting from the plugging activities are to be removed from the well site and disposed of in the most economical EGLE approved landfill.
Question 2: Will TENORM contaminated soil at the Pleasanton 26 CPF need to be excavated and properly disposed? How will TENORM contaminated equipment, tubulars and scrap metal be handled?
Answer: No. Contaminated soils will be addressed in a separate contract. All TENORM contaminated equipment, tubulars and scrap metal will be handled and properly disposed at a reputable and licensed TENORM company.
Question 3: How will waste be handled?
Answer: The State will be the generator and will supply a MIK number. All waste will be oil field exempt status under 40 CFR 261.4b 5.
Question 4: Is the semi-trailer, located at the Wallaker Booster Gas Compression Facility, to be included with the bid?
Answer: No.
Question 5: Is plugging the water well, located at the Hungry Horses Facility, to be included with the bid?
Answer: No. The landowner wants to keep this.
Question 6: What is the status of lines coming into the Wallaker Facility?
Answer: All wells feeding into the Wallaker have been shut in and all the lines depressurized. This is the same for the other 4 facilities.
