A. General Description and Location of the Project (For Bidding Purposes Only) – The Plugging Contractor will properly plug the leaking well and restore the well site of the “sample job” located Section 36, Township 07N, Range 13W “any” County IL. There is a large depression (15ft by 20ft) at the well location. The depression is full of contaminated fluids, enlarging and overflowing onto the land surface. Well is leaking oil and salt water onto the land surface. The well is located on the banks of the North Fork Saline River and the leaking fluids are migrating to the river. If well continues to leak there is a great possibility of contamination to blue line stream A. Remedial and/or Spill Cleanup Services: Remedial work to repair, contain and cleanup leaks and spills of crude oil and/or saltwater from production equipment, pits, or other containment structures of oil or saltwater, which are contaminating the surface of the land or water. The CONTRACTOR is required to provide sufficient personnel and equipment to perform these services. B. Pre-Plugging Services: Transportation and rig-up (including all travel to and from the site for all equipment, labor and materials through the length of the Contract); site preparation (including locating the wells to be plugged, if not visible, using a backhoe or other necessary earth-moving equipment to excavate any buried wells and preparing the wells for plugging operations); and digging pits. The CONTRACTOR is also required to provide sufficient personnel to perform these services. Additional site preparation costs due to adverse weather, topographic or cultural features may be authorized in writing by the OFFICE and executed through a CHANGE ORDER. See #8 SUPPLEMENTAL PROVISIONS, Agency Specific Terms and Conditions, Change Order. C. Plugging Services: (1) Permanent plugging of wells in accordance with the requirements of 62 Ill. Adm. Code Subpart K to include, as required, shooting and/or ripping and pulling casings encountered in the wells, drilling out obstructed, bridged or previously plugged well bores, setting cement and mechanical plugs, cutting off the casing below plow depth and placing a plug in all flowlines disconnected from the well, the temporary plugging of wells by setting a mechanical bridge plug. Drilling out obstructed, bridged or previously plugged well bores shall be accomplished by using either a power swivel or rotary drilling rig; however, the piece of equipment used must complete this task for the lowest per well cost. All cement plugs shall be set using only the circulation method described in 62 Ill. Adm. Code Subpart K. All cement used for cement plugs shall be in compliance with the cement specification in 62 Ill. Adm. Code, Subpart K. If multiple cement jobs are required over the course of a plugging operation, the CONTRACTOR must receive approval from the OFFICE prior to conducting multiple cement jobs.
