This project shall utilize contractors to complete exploratory work to better evaluate the equipment, materials, and conditions of orphan wells. The intent of this contract is to provide information that will lead to a formal and separate plugging contract, not to plug the well during this phase of the project. However, the contractor will be required to have certain equipment available in the event that these explorations aggravate the wells’ current condition. The Division will determine the wells that will be included in the project on an as needed basis. The contract will remain in effect until either a set timeframe or expenditure amount is reached. Work Orders will be given to describe and authorize this work. An OhioBuys offer shall be submitted to establish prices.
