The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management, is soliciting bids for the Exploratory 2026 Project SE to conduct exploratory work on orphan wells. The primary objective of this contract is to evaluate the equipment, materials, and conditions of these wells to inform future, separate plugging contracts; the current phase does not include the actual plugging of wells. The Division intends to award three separate contracts based on regional maps of Ohio, with each contractor limited to a single region. The contract is valued at $250,000.00 and functions similarly to an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity arrangement, where specific tasks, quantities, and authorizations are managed through individual Work Orders, Field Orders, and Change Orders. To be eligible, suppliers must be active on the CSP900922 contract (DAS Index No. MAC110) and be in good standing with all Division and Agency projects. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OhioBuys portal, and only data entered directly into the system's structured grid will be considered, as no external file uploads or narrative volumes are permitted. Contractors are responsible for site preparation, environmental protection, and strict adherence to safety protocols, including H2S monitoring and the implementation of an Emergency Response Plan. Invoicing must be processed through the Orphan Well Project Management Contractor Portal, supported by approved Work Orders and unit pricing established during the bidding process.
