DS-761-260000000034-2 | New Haven Sec-5-10&Plank1-1-12 Wells Gratiot/Montcalm Co

The contract pertains to the plugging and abandonment of 12 oil and gas wells across Gratiot and Montcalm Counties in Michigan, undertaken under a direct solicitation issued by the State of Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). Work encompasses full site preparation, mobilization and demobilization, well plugging using approved mechanical plugs and cement retainers, removal of surface infrastructure including concrete pads and flowlines, and comprehensive site restoration. All activities must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act, requiring payment of federal prevailing wages, and adhere to Michigan’s State Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) preference provisions. Bidders are required to submit detailed project timelines divided into four phases—Site Prep, Mobilization/Demobilization, Plugging, and Site Restoration—with performance expectations tied to schedule adherence and strict compliance with technical standards, including cementing procedures using Class H cement and gas block additives, as well as wireline verification via Cement Bond Logs and Gamma Logs. The solicitation mandates a comprehensive pricing matrix with fixed rates for all “rated items,” such as labor, equipment, and services, regardless of actual use, with pricing locked in for the duration of the contract and no adjustments permitted post-award. Offerors must price every line item in Schedule B even if not anticipated for use, and must avoid double billing by not invoicing rated items separately when used to fulfill lump sum tasks. Evaluation of proposals is based on four equally weighted factors—Key Personnel, Business-Owned Equipment List, Technical Experience and Ability, and Vendor Questions Worksheet—each carrying 25% of the total score. Proposals must achieve a minimum of 80 technical points to be eligible for award, and selection is made using a trade-off approach, prioritizing best value over lowest price. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the SIGMA VSS portal by the deadline of July 21, 2026, in modifiable native formats with a 6 MB file size limit per attachment, and no physical submissions are accepted. Contract oversight is conducted by the EGLE Project Manager, who retains authority to approve materials, equipment, and change orders, with no designated COR or COTR named. All submitted pricing must reflect compliance with wage rules, and overhead cannot be applied to pre-defined hourly or daily rates in the matrix.
