The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas is seeking a qualified contractor for the Edmond #1 Well Plugging Project, located in Tucker County, with the specific API number 47-097-00936. This procurement is a fixed-period contract for comprehensive well plugging and remediation services for an abandoned oil and/or natural gas well. The project requires a minimum three-person crew and involves extensive technical operations including site preparation, equipment usage (such as excavators, skid steers, and vacuum trucks), material procurement, and site reclamation. Contractors must provide detailed line-item bids for 33 distinct components, covering crew hours, equipment usage, tubing and drill collar removal, cement and gravel quantities, and specialized services like welding and environmental protection. Key submission deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM eastern time, technical questions due by September 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and final bid submissions through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service portal by September 19, 2025, at 10:30 AM.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents, bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond and be prepared to provide performance and labor/material payment bonds for 100% of the contract value. The contract is structured to be completed within 90 days of the notice to proceed, with pricing to be submitted per unit for each specified item. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to perform complex well plugging procedures, including cementing, logging, and potential fishing operations. Although no precise budget range was stated, the comprehensive line-item approach and detailed technical requirements suggest a substantial project scope. Contractors will need to provide their own specialized equipment, including power tongs, welding services, and environmental protection materials, indicating this opportunity is best suited for experienced oil and gas service providers with robust technical and logistical capabilities.
