C&P 6 OG Wells, Center Twp. , Butler Cnty

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is seeking qualified contractors to perform well plugging services in Butler County, specifically targeting six orphan gas wells located in Center Township. The project involves comprehensive well closure activities, including cleaning out and plugging wells estimated to be between 1,700 to 2,200 feet in depth, adhering to departmental specifications. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. at Adelman Fields, located at 299 Old Plank Road in Butler, PA, with GPS coordinates 40.824529, -79.909805. Attendance at this conference is critical, as failure to participate will result in automatic bid rejection. Bid documents will be freely available starting January 13, 2026, through www.BidExpress.com, with the final bid submission deadline set for February 26, 2026. The project scope includes not only well plugging but also site preparation, restoration, and comprehensive mobilization and demobilization of specialized plugging equipment.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be a standard state-level procurement opportunity open to qualified environmental services contractors with expertise in well plugging and site restoration. The procurement does not indicate specific restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business preferences. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the contract appears to be a standalone project focused on environmental remediation of orphan gas wells. The bid documents do not specify a precise budget range or estimated contract value, suggesting that pricing will be determined through the competitive bidding process. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability in well plugging, environmental restoration, and compliance with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection standards to be considered for this project.
