The solicitation RFP-785-2600000444-2 for the KASTOW Orphan Well Package – Daviess #004 seeks contractors to perform well plugging operations in Daviess County, Kentucky, under the authority of the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources. The work requires strict adherence to federal, state, and local regulations including the Davis-Bacon Act, DOI Standard Terms, and Kentucky Revised Statutes related to recycling and environmental compliance. Contractors must submit a complete bid demonstrating prior experience in orphan well plugging, provide a detailed equipment list, and ensure all laborers are paid prevailing wages. Key personnel requirements include a full-time, on-site Superintendent available at all times during active work, with the authority for the Owner to mandate replacement for unsatisfactory performance. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self-Service portal by the deadline of June 9, 2026, and must include an affidavit certifying the bidder has no affiliation with any entity that previously owned or operated an abandoned oil or gas well in Kentucky. While the contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement, no estimated value is provided, and pricing is left to be determined through the bidding process. The performance location is the project site in Daviess County, with substantial completion expected within a contractual time frame to be defined after award, followed by final completion one year later. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site by the Architect-Engineer and other authorized parties, with the contractor responsible for all testing, corrections, and documentation including Daily Construction Reports, as-built drawings, warranties, and shop drawings. Payment will be processed through the Commonwealth’s Document Collaboration System using the prescribed KASTOW Invoice Template, referencing FUND 1200 - AOWP01, though specific remittance details are not disclosed. Compliance with Kentucky’s Equal Employment Act applies if the contract exceeds $500,000 or the employer has eight or more employees, and affirmative action reporting is triggered if the bidder participates in an apprenticeship program. No formal evaluation factors, weighting, or selection methodology are outlined, and no specific packaging, marking, or shipping standards such as MIL-STDs are required. The contract does not require UEI or CAGE codes, nor does it mandate socioeconomic certifications, but full compliance with labor, environmental, and administrative obligations is mandatory for award.
