Marion Co. Multi-Well Plugging Package

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas has issued an Agency Request for Quote (ARFQ 0313 DEP2500000037) for a comprehensive multi-well plugging and reclamation project in Marion County. The procurement involves plugging and reclamation services for twenty-seven (27) specific wells, with each well requiring separate line items for permitting, plugging, and reclamation activities. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for December 11, 2024, at 9:00 AM EST on-site. Technical questions are due by December 13, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST, and the final solicitation closes on December 20, 2024, at 10:30 AM. Potential bidders must be prepared to handle multiple line items across permitting, well plugging, and site reclamation, with specific attention to the 27 identified wells referenced by their individual API numbers. The project requires comprehensive environmental restoration services, with all work to be billed and delivered to the Office of Oil & Gas located at 601 57th ST SE in Charleston, WV. The primary contact for additional information is Herminio David Robles, who can be reached at (304) 414-1155.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the project appears to require significant technical expertise in oil and gas well plugging and environmental reclamation. The complexity of managing 27 individual wells suggests that bidders should have substantial experience in environmental remediation, well closure procedures, and regulatory compliance within the West Virginia oil and gas sector. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project's scope implies a substantial investment in environmental restoration services. The electronic submission requirement through wvOASIS and the mandatory pre-bid meeting indicate a structured procurement process with specific qualifications likely to be evaluated. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities, environmental safety protocols, and the ability to manage a multi-site plugging and reclamation project efficiently and in compliance with West Virginia environmental regulations.
