Placer well abandonment and site closure

The California Conservation Corps (CCC) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform well abandonment and site closure services at the Placer Center located in Auburn, California. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) that covers the comprehensive abandonment of nine groundwater monitoring wells and ten shallow vapor monitoring wells located at 3710 Christian Valley Road. Specific deliverables include preparing a detailed work plan, completing site restoration, submitting a Well Abandonment & Site Closure Report, and compiling site data for electronic submission to the Geotracker database in compliance with California Code of Regulations Title 23. Contractors must hold a C57 Well Drilling Contractors License and have a licensed Professional Geologist (PG) or Professional Engineer (PE) available to sign off on the destruction report. The project requires a mandatory site walk-through, which was scheduled for February 29, 2016, at 9:30am, with sealed bids due on March 11, 2016, at 2:00pm. The contract term extends through September 30, 2016, with the bid to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The state strongly encourages participation from Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) vendors, with specific emphasis on supporting these business categories. Contractors must register with the Department of Industrial Relations for this public works project and will be responsible for all waste disposal, permitting fees, and proper documentation. The project requires submission of a site-specific Health & Safety Plan and coordination with Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff and CCC's Construction Analyst. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, contractors should be prepared to handle comprehensive well abandonment and site restoration services. The procurement documents indicate that all associated costs for licensing, materials, equipment, labor, and supervision must be included in the bid. Contractors will need to demonstrate compliance with Tri-Regional Recommendations for Preliminary Investigation and Evaluation of Underground Storage Tank Sites and be prepared to manage all aspects of the site closure process from initial planning through final documentation and database submission.
