Reed Ventures Reclamation Project

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas is conducting an Agency Request for Quote (ARFQ) for the Reed Ventures Reclamation Project in Randolph County, West Virginia. The procurement seeks bids for a comprehensive reclamation effort involving three primary line items: drain repair, access road reclamation, and additional labor. Specific project requirements include repairing a severed drainage pipe, re-establishing original land contour, leveling disturbed areas, adding topsoil, and applying seed, mulch, and fertilizer at a site associated with a previously plugged abandoned well (API# 47-021-00237). A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on August 13, 2025, at the Glenville State football stadium parking lot, with technical questions accepted until August 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM eastern time. All bids must be submitted electronically through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service (VSS) platform by August 22, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with the project to be completed within 90 days of receiving the notice to proceed. Bidders are required to utilize specific equipment including a mini excavator, PVC piping, a pipeline inspection camera, a compact skid steer loader, topsoil, and seeding materials.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with several state requirements, including providing a drug-free workplace affidavit, maintaining a valid contractor's license, and meeting local labor market hiring requirements. Four companies attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting: A&T Bucks, Modernian Well Service, Next Level Energy, and Wetland Response & Reclamation. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the project will be funded through the state's environmental protection budget.
