Edmond #1 Well Plugging Project API# 47-097-00936

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas is seeking a qualified contractor to execute the Edmond #1 Well Plugging Project located in Upshur County, with a specific API number of 47-097-00936. This Agency Request for Quote (ARFQ) solicits comprehensive well plugging and remediation services for an abandoned oil/natural gas well originally drilled in 1965 with a total depth of 4,247 feet. The project requires a three-person minimum crew and encompasses 33 distinct line items covering equipment, labor, and materials, including mobilization, site preparation, specialized machinery (excavator, skid steer, water truck), tubing, disposal services, cement, gravel, and reclamation activities. Mandatory project requirements include providing a full range of technical services such as logging, wireline operations, and comprehensive environmental remediation. The solicitation mandates electronic bid submission through wvOASIS by September 19, 2025, at 10:30 am, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting already completed on September 10, 2025. Technical questions were accepted until September 12, 2025, at 2:00 pm eastern, with direct inquiries to be made to Herminio David Robles at david.h.robles@wv.gov.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The contract is structured as a fixed-period contract requiring completion within 90 days, with contractors responsible for providing all necessary equipment, materials, labor, and professional services. The solicitation requires a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount and performance and labor/material payment bonds of 100% of the contract value. While no specific total contract value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive line-item breakdown suggests a complex and potentially significant project scope. The project site is located at 664 Turner Road in Buckhannon, WV, and involves addressing a well with known technical challenges, including gas bubbling between casings and a potential lost tool string in the hole. Pricing is to be submitted per unit for most items, with some items to be bid as lump sum or per container/tool. The invoice and shipping location is set at the Environmental Protection Office of Oil and Gas in Charleston, West Virginia.
