Risk Assessment, Training, and Education Services for Legacy Oil and Gas Wells

The Corporation of the County of Lambton is soliciting proposals for Project 2026-155 to obtain risk assessment, training, and education services for legacy oil, gas, brine, injection, disposal, and solution-mining wells located on County-owned properties. The selected consultant will develop a County-wide well-specific risk register and a prioritized action plan using a transparent methodology to score likelihood, consequence, urgency, and confidence. Key deliverables include a desktop risk screening report with a risk matrix, a staff training program consisting of two in-person sessions and one on-demand recording, and a risk-based public education program developed in coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Oil Museum of Canada. Additionally, the consultant is responsible for preparing Ministry funding reports from 2026 to 2029. The project is scheduled to commence on December 8, 2026, with a completion date of December 7, 2027. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the County's designated system by November 18, 2026. Evaluation will be based on a weighted scoring system, and proponents must provide a detailed schedule of costs, including hourly rates and disbursements. The successful proponent must comply with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board Act of Ontario, providing a WSIB certificate at signing and every 60 days thereafter. Invoicing is triggered upon the completion of work at each site, with a preference for payment via Electronic Funds Transfer. All submissions must include a company profile, approach to the project, and resumes for all key personnel.
