Orphan Well - Licking 7

The state of Ohio has posted a contract opportunity for the Licking 7 Project, an Orphan Well Plugging Project in Licking County. This mission-critical project involves the plugging of two idle and orphaned wells to correct conditions causing imminent health and safety risks to the public and the environment. The scope of work includes mobilization, site access and development, well preparation, plugging, and site restoration work. Contractors must be pre-qualified on the existing State Contract CSP900-922 to be eligible to bid on this project. The project is scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2024, and failure to meet the deadline may result in suspension or termination of the contract. Pricing for this project is based on a combination of lump sum and unit price items, and the Division may issue change orders for extra work. Payment requests must be approved by the Division prior to submittal, and the Division will withhold 5% of the contract amount until final stabilization is achieved.

The contract opportunity is competitively bid through OhioBuys CSP900922, and the Division will not consider any offers from Contractors that are not pre-qualified on the existing State Contract. The project does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract documents do not provide any information on the incumbent vendor or current contractors, nor do they specify the award value or budget range for this project.
