Funded by the FY25 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Energy Community Revitalization Program, the project requires the contractor to provide all labor, equipment, and materials to replug and abandon wells, remove flowlines, surface equipment, and debris, and ensure all casings are cut at least ten feet below the mudline.

This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 213112 with an estimated construction magnitude between 1 million and 5 million dollars. The contract is awarded based on the lowest price bid that is conforming and responsible. The period of performance is 180 days following the issuance of a full notice to proceed, with a scheduled window from September 15, 2026, to March 14, 2027. Key requirements include adherence to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates for Louisiana heavy construction, a bid guarantee of 20 percent of the bid price or 3 million dollars, and the use of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform for electronic payments. Performance is subject to National Park Service safety oversight, with the authority to suspend operations if visitor safety is threatened.
