Texas Natural Resources Code Chapter 89 provides that the protection of water and land of the state against pollution or the escape of oil or gas is in the public interest, and that it is necessary and desirable to provide additional means so that wells that are drilled for the exploration, development, or production of oil or gas, or as injection or salt water disposal wells, and that have been abandoned and are leaking salt water, oil, gas, or other deleterious substances into freshwater formations or on the surface of the land, may be plugged, re-plugged, or repaired by or under the authority and direction of RRC.  Additionally, 16 TAC §3.14(b)(3) provides that RRC may plug or re-plug dry or inactive wells.

The RRC seeks High H2S Well Plugging and Related Services to be performed within RRC Oil and Gas Division Districts 1, 5 & 6 located in the Eastern portion of the State (see RFQ Attachment 1:Appendix A) and include, but may not be limited to, plugging or re-plugging of High H2S Wells and the providing of all labor, materials, equipment, tools, incidentals, and services necessary for the RRC to restore the land in the immediate vicinity of the well back to its former state as determined by RRC.  All work under the Contract shall be performed in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules, including RRC Statewide Rules, the specifications within this Statement of Services and any Work Order issued under the Contract, and all terms and conditions of the Contract.  See RFQ Attachment 1:Statement of Services (SOS)

RESPONDENTS ARE ADVISED THAT HIGH H2S WELLS ARE PERILOUS TO HUMAN LIFE, AND ANY RESPONDENT SELECTED FOR A CONTRACT ASSUMES THE INHERENT RISK OF BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO ITS PERSONNEL AND CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PERFORMING SERVICES.

This RFQ is RRC's process to select highly qualified High H2S WellPlugging and Related Services Vendors and issue contracts for Services to be delivered in each RRC Oil and Gas Division Districts 1, 5 & 6.  Selection of a Respondent for award of a Contract shall be based upon a Respondent's demonstrated competence, detailed credentials and other evaluation criteria further described within this RFQ.  Contracts for the Services in which RRC has a recurring need shall be awarded to the most qualified Respondents expressing interest to deliver Services within one or more districts. See RFQ Attachment 1: Statement of Services.

Respondents are cautioned to carefully read the RFQ in its entirety. Selection of the most highly qualified Well Servicing Vendors will be based on demonstrated competence, detailed credentials, evaluation criteria and other requirements as outlined in Part II: Instructions to Respondent, Section 2.10.2 Weighted Criteria and RFQ Attachment 3: Respondent’s Qualification Statement.  Failure to provide the mandatory required information will automatically disqualify the Respondent from consideration for the award in connection with this RFQ.
