Description:
Oregon Institute of Technology is seeking proposals to drill, case, pump test (rig test), and complete a well up to 6,000 feet in length on campus to produce geothermal hot water/steam around 300 degrees Fahrenheit to supply energy up to an approximately three megawatt (MW) geothermal power plant. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM PDT, October 20, 2008.

The well will be located near the high-angle normal fault on the east side of campus in the vicinity of the existing geothermal wells in NE ¼ of Sec. 20, T38S, R9E, WB&M, which is on Oregon State property. The specific site is based on geophysics and geologic evidence determined prior to awarding the contract, and is situated on State of Oregon property controlled by OIT. The actual drill site is in the upper southeast parking lot on campus.

The estimated time for drilling, rig testing and completing the project is two months, estimated to start around November 3, 2008. Final demobilization should be completed no later than December 31, 2008. These dates may be changed by mutual agreement between OIT and the successful bidder.

The following documents are available for review by potential bidders on the Geo-Heat Center website at: http://geoheat.oit.edu/greenoit.htm:
1. Feasibility study, including geology and OIT well logs,
2. Active source seismic investigation of OIT fault (the drilling target), and
3. Final environmental assessment report (USDOE EA).
4. Permit to Drill Geothermal Well (OR Dept. of Geology and Mineral
Industries)
5. Site map of campus and photograph.
