EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) / REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) 24” OD Drilling to 6,500’ TVD (RV/DC)

Mission Support and Test Services (MSTS), a Department of Energy contractor, is issuing Request for Information (RFI) and Expression of Interest (EOI) number RFIPP002 to conduct market research for the delivery of a wellbore at the Rock Valley Direct Comparison site within the Nevada National Security Site. The project requires drilling a 24 inch diameter hole to a total vertical depth of 6,500 feet, with the bottom 1,400 feet remaining free of casing. Key technical requirements include comprehensive logging capabilities such as Measurement While Drilling, Density, Neutron Porosity, Acoustic Televiewer, and Ultrasonic compressive velocity logs. The anticipated contract will be a Time and Materials structured Master Agreement consisting of a base scope for design and engineering, with options for long lead items and rig modifications, as well as construction and drilling operations. Interested respondents must be United States citizens to work at the site and are requested to provide a company profile, socio-economic status, and a technical summary of their approach. The contemplated NAICS code for this effort is 238910 with a size standard of 19 million dollars. While MSTS will provide geologists for mudlogging, site preparation, permitting, and sanitary facilities, the contractor is responsible for providing all fuel, water storage tanks, and generators, as no utility power is available on site. Responses must be submitted in PDF format to Shawna Ham by the specified deadline and should include a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate broken down by design, procurement, operations, and personnel costs.
