About this opportunity
The California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) is soliciting bids for a service contract to address five idle-deserted and hazardous wells located in Tulare and Kings County on the Western States International, Inc. Lease. The Invitation for Bid (IFB #2015-030) requires a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive well abandonment and site restoration services, which include cleaning out each well, plugging with cement and inert mud, and fully restoring the surface at each site. Bidders must possess an active General Engineering Contractor License or D-09 Drilling License and meet specific insurance requirements, including $2M general liability, $1M auto liability, and workers compensation coverage. The bid was released on May 3, 2016, with bids due by May 26, 2016 at 1:00 PM, and a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled for May 18, 2016 at 8:30 AM. The proposed performance period is June 15, 2016 through September 29, 2016, with specific requirements including filing a Notice of Intention to Abandon, installing blowout prevention equipment, and conducting safety meetings before work commences.
The procurement includes a 5% Small Business Preference, which can be claimed by certified small businesses or non-small businesses that subcontract 25% to certified small businesses. The specific wells targeted for abandonment are Anderson Unit 1 1-12, Anderson Unit 2 2-12, Tidewater Associated Fee 3, Tidewater Associated Fee 2, and Guy 1, each with detailed technical specifications for abandonment. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Subsurface salvage will be credited to the final invoice at specified rates for tubing and rods, providing potential cost recovery for the successful contractor. The project is designed to mitigate public nuisances and protect life, health, and natural resources by properly addressing these idle-deserted oil and gas wells, in compliance with Public Resources Code, Section 3250 et. seq.
