A -- NATIONAL OIL PROGRAM HIGH POTENTIAL RECOVERY BY GAS REPRESSURIZATION BY SMALL, INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM PRODUCERS Sol OKL-5204-01 Due 122995 Contact: Brian P. Rieper, Senior Subcontract Administrator, 918/337-4305 BDM-Oklahoma (BDM), Management and Operating Contractor for DOE's National Oil and Related Programs under prime contract DE-AC22-94PC91008, is soliciting firm-fixed price proposals to a requirement generally entitled ``High Potential Recovery by Gas Repressurization by Small, Independent Petroleum Producers.'' Responses to this Program Reserch and Development Announcement (PRDA) number OKL-5204-01 are required by 4 P.M. CST on December 29th, 1995. Responses must be sent to: BDM-Oklahoma, Inc., Brian Rieper, P.O. Box 2565, 220 N. Virginia Avenue, Bartlesville, OK 74005-2565. Responses should reference the PRDA number OKL-5204-01 on the exterior of the shipping container. This announcement is an expression of interest only and does not commit BDM to pay for any response preparation costs. Due to the nature of the required work, this procurement is set-aside for small independent petroleum producers. Small independent petroleum producers are herein defined for this procurement as having (1) no affiliation with a major or larger independent oil or gas producer (domestic or foreign) and (2) no more than 20 full-time company employees or contractors. Proposal application consists of a fill-out set of forms (described below). BDM is not required to return any proposal that is not selected for award. Proposal preparation costs shall not be included within the price/cost proposal. BDM reserves the right to select for award any, all, or none of the responses received. It is BDM's intention to award multiple contracts for this effort in the amount of not to exceed $150,000 per award. Cost-sharing with BDM is required at an amount of not less than 50% of the total proposed amount and may consist of in-kind contributions. Proposed cost sharing amounts must be directly associated with the requirements of the project. The offeror is responsible to demonstrate in their cost proposal that the proposed amounts are allocable to the project. While the number of awards to a single producer will be limited to one, a single producer may offer more than one proposal (i.e. different methods and/or locations). Late proposals will be handled in strict accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 15.412. The selection of one or more sources for contract award will be based on a scientific and engineering evaluation of the responses (technical and price/cost) to determine the relative merit of the approach taken in response to this announcement. Proposals aimed at applying proven gas repressurization techniques (including natural gas, enriched gas, flue gas, nitrogen, or air but not carbon dioxide) should be submitted. Demonstration that this proposed technology when applied in select areas could significantly increase the areas economic oil production by other small independents is of primary interest and will be ranked highest in the evaluation process. Price/cost is ranked as the second order of priority. The technical and price/cost responses will be evaluated concurrently. Questions on technical issues may be referred in writing to Dr. David Olsen, FAX (918) 337-4365. Contractual issues and price/cost response format questions should be referred in writing to Brian Rieper, FAX (918) 337-4504. BDM seeks proposals for demonstrating the utility of economic gas repressurization by small independent petroleum producers. Proposed efforts must incorporate proven gas repressurization technologies in reservoirs where these technologies have not been used by small independent petroleum producers to increase oil production. Upon request, the contractor shall provide BDM with any or all data pertinent to this effort. The contractor will be required to submit monthly, quarterly, and annual progress reports. BDM will provide assistance to the contractor in the preparation of the progress reports (cost and technical). BDM will be responsible for preparing a final report for each project based on the information provided by the contractor. To assist in preparing the final report, the contractor will be required to provide BDM with copies of production reports, maps of the lease and site at which the work is to be done, available geophysical logs, production and pressure response data, well completion schematics and history, pre-project and post-project production and economics data. This data to be provided by the contractor represents the required deliverables under the contract and must contain economic and engineering analysis originating from the contract. Public disclosure of the details and results of these projects is required as part of BDM's technology transfer effort to show other oil producers in the area that the technology is economically viable. Prior to selection for award, an environmental investigation of the offeror may be made by BDM in support of a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) determination. As an integral part of its proposal, the contractor will be required to demonstrate and implement an aggressive technology transfer plan primarily targeted for the local area's small independent petroleum producers. The proposal shall consist of a fully completed and executed ``Proposal Submission Form.'' The Form is approximately eight (8) pages in length and is in a ``fill in the blank'' format requiring the offeror to attach supplemental information. The Proposal Submission Form may be obtained by contracting Brian Rieper at the address indicated previously. All proprietary portions of the proposals should be clearly identified and will be treated in the strictest confidence. Proposals shall contain a statement of validity for 90 days beyond the closing date, a statement authorizing BDM's employees and unauthorized DOE personnel to evaluate the proposals, and the signature of an official duly authorized to commit the organization in business and financial affairs. An original and three (3) copies of the proposals must be submitted to BDM. Faxed proposal will not be accepted. If awarded, the period of performance is anticipated to be up to 15 months. Proposals with a shorter period of performance are acceptable. All projects, including reporting, must be completed by June 30, 1997. Award decisions will be based upon an evaluation of the technical merit as well as price/cost resonableness and realism in conjunction with the availability of funds. Unless stated otherwise herein, no additional written information is available (with the exception of the Proposal Submission Form) nor will a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) or other solicitation regarding this announcement be issued. If a responder wishes to restrict the proposal, the responder should mark the title page with the following legend: ``This data shall not be disclosed outside BDM or DOE and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed in whole or in part for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, provided that if a contract is awarded to this PRDA responder as a result of or in conjunction with the submission of this data, BDM or DOE shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the contract. This restriction does not limit BDM's or DOE's right to use information contained in the data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction is contained on page ____.'' The PRDA responder shall mark each sheet of data that is to be restricted with the following legend: ``Use or disclosure of PRDA response data is subject to the restriction on the Title Page of this proposal.
