C&P 7 OG Wells, Multi Townships, Washington Cnty

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is seeking qualified contractors to clean out and plug seven orphan gas wells located in Washington County, specifically in West Middletown Borough. The project involves comprehensive well plugging services for wells estimated to be between 1,000 to 3,400 feet in depth, with key deliverables including complete well site preparation, plugging to departmental specifications, and site restoration. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 27, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the Washington Crown Center, located at 1500 West Chestnut Street in Washington, PA. Contractors must attend this conference, as failure to do so will result in automatic bid rejection. Bid documents can be obtained free of charge through www.BidExpress.com starting on the issue date. The bid submission deadline is set for September 18, 2025, with the procurement focusing on comprehensive orphan gas well remediation and environmental restoration services.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure remediation contract open to qualified environmental services contractors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the procurement notice. The contract does not specify a precise budget range, though the scope of work involving seven wells and site restoration suggests a potentially significant investment in environmental remediation. Interested contractors will likely need specialized equipment for well plugging, site preparation, and restoration, as well as expertise in Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection specifications and procedures. Technical qualifications, past performance in similar well plugging projects, and the ability to mobilize and demobilize plugging equipment efficiently will likely be critical evaluation criteria for this contract.
