The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking a qualified contractor to plug two orphan oil‑gas wells (Oertels Corner #1 and Romanello #1) in Scioto County, Ohio. The contract is a fixed‑price, lump‑sum award that covers all phases of the project: mobilization, site preparation, well‑head control, well‑kill fluid provision, drilling/clean‑out, cement plugging, logging, removal and disposal of equipment and contaminated material, and comprehensive site restoration (re‑grading, reseeding, fertilizing, mulching). The work must be performed in compliance with federal funding rules (Buy‑American, Davis‑Bacon), OSHA safety standards, and Ohio environmental regulations. The contractor must be pre‑qualified under CSP 900‑922 (MAC 110) and attend a mandatory pre‑bid meeting/site visit on November 4, 2026 before mobilizing. The project must start within three months of award and be completed within five months (or by May 1, 2027, whichever is sooner).
• Scope includes full well de‑commissioning, cement plugging (multiple plugs, specific densities), and removal of all casing, tubing, and surface equipment.
• Site restoration requires reseeding with a 50/50 blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass, liming, fertilizing, and mulching, to be finished within 14 days after construction.
• Payment is based on lump‑sum line items (mobilization, stone, road mats, cement, water, disposal, restoration, etc.) with a 5 % retainage held until vegetation stabilization is verified.
