The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to perform the plugging and abandonment of 14 orphan oil and gas wells in Gratiot County, Michigan, along with full site restoration, including recontouring, reseeding, and removal of all surface infrastructure such as tanks, piping, fencing, and electrical systems. Work must be completed in four distinct phases—Site Preparation, Mobilization/Demobilization, Plugging, and Site Restoration—with strict adherence to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, ensuring all laborers and subcontractors are paid state-approved wage rates and submit certified payroll records. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price model with a detailed pricing matrix (Schedule B) requiring bidders to quote all line items, including zero-dollar entries for unused items, and to provide rates for equipment and labor that support future change orders. Only previously prequalified vendors awarded under five specific prior RFPs are eligible to bid, limiting competition to a restricted pool. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the SIGMA VSS portal by July 21, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and must include a completed pricing matrix and a detailed project timeline organized by phase. Evaluation is based on four equally weighted factors—Key Personnel, Business-Owned Equipment List, Company’s Technical Experience and Ability, and Vendor Questions Worksheet—with a minimum Technical Evaluation Score of 80 points required for award consideration. Award will be made based on best value, allowing for trade-offs between cost and technical merit, not necessarily selecting the lowest bid. All invoicing must strictly align with Schedule B, with no double-billing permitted, and materials not listed on the matrix may be billed at cost plus overhead only with prior approval. The state retains final inspection and acceptance authority at each well site, with compliance verified through documented labor records, material usage logs, and adherence to technical specifications such as the use of Class H cement, 7-inch bridge plugs, and required wireline logging services. Failure to meet any compliance requirement, including Davis-Bacon obligations or submission format rules, will result in rejection, and no late submissions will be accepted under any circumstance.
