Placer well abandonment and site closure

The California Conservation Corps (CCC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a well abandonment and site closure project at the Placer Center located in Auburn, California. The procurement involves comprehensive groundwater and vapor monitoring well decommissioning, specifically targeting nine groundwater monitoring wells and ten shallow vapor monitoring wells. Contractors must prepare a detailed well abandonment and site closure work plan, complete full site restoration, and submit all required documentation to the Geotracker database system. Mandatory qualifications include possession of a C57 Well Drilling Contractors License and having a licensed Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer available to sign destruction reports. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through was conducted on February 18, 2016, with bid submissions due on February 29, 2016, at 2:00 pm. The project requires extensive coordination with Regional Water Quality Control Board staff and the CCC Construction Analyst, with contractors responsible for obtaining all necessary Placer County permits, managing waste disposal, and ensuring compliance with California Code of Regulations Title 23 requirements.

The California Conservation Corps strongly encourages participation from Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) for this public works project. Contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and will be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement. The contract term runs through June 30, 2016, with contractors responsible for comprehensive site restoration, waste management, and detailed documentation of all procedures. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documents, the project involves complex environmental remediation work that will require significant technical expertise and specialized equipment. The procurement includes standard state construction contract provisions, such as performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage requirements, and potential liquidated damages for project delays. Contractors should anticipate adherence to detailed general conditions, including specific markup limitations for labor, materials, and subcontractor work, and mandatory insurance coverage specifications.
