This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Facilities and Support Services Division of Engineering and Contract Administration on behalf of the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) and the Kentucky Division of Oil and Gas. The RFP seeks proposals for the Kentucky Abandoned Storage Tank and Orphan Well Reclamation Program (KASTOW) to provide well plugging and site remediation services in Christian County. The scope of work includes the abandonment and plugging of orphaned oil and gas wells, as well as site restoration and establishing permanent vegetation. The contract requires completion of the work within 180 calendar days from the award date. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM EST on August 26, 2022, and the anticipated contract award date is September 15, 2022.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The contract is anticipated to be a firm/fixed contract, but no specific funding amount or budget range is provided. Pricing information must be submitted separately from the technical proposal, and the Commonwealth will withhold a 5% retainage until the one-year warranty on the site reclamation and vegetation is approved. Liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day will be assessed for delays in achieving the final completion date.
