INSTALLATION ENERGY AND

WATER PLAN AND ASHRAE

LEVEL II AUDITS

Office of the Adjutant General

North Dakota National Guard

Statewide

The Office of the Adjutant General

has a need for engineer study ser-

vices to provide an Installation Ener-

gy and Water Plan (IEWP) and

American Society of Heating, Refri-

gerating, and Air-Conditioning En-

gineers (ASHRAE) Level II consul-

tant services. The North Dakota

Army National Guard (NDARNG) is

seeking a qualified consultant to

recommend improvements to the

energy and water resilience at multi-

ple National Guard facilities located

in North Dakota. NDARNG has been

issued Department of the Army Poli-

cy Guidance for IEWP (Army Gui-

dance) for its critical missions and

facilities. Work shall be conducted in

accordance with the Army Gui-

dance. Work shall also include au-

dits, inspection and assessment ser-

vices required to evaluate current

and future energy and water needs

and available services to meet those

needs as well as ASHRAE Level II

requirements. Projects may involve

architectural and engineering discip-

lines or personnel qualified by other

formal training and trades experi-

ence. An IEWP provides a roadmap

for supporting installations in achiev-

ing increased security, resilience,

readiness, and mission assurance.

The goal is for the IEWP to serve as

a useful, “living” planning tool to

reduce the number of energy and

water security and management

planning requirements. The IEWP

integrates higher-level strategic gui-

dance, plans, and policies with in-

stallation and facility level data into a

holistic roadmap that enables the in-

stallation to work constructively to-

ward enhancing mission readiness

through energy and water manage-

ment, security and resilience. No

later than 30 September 2020, one

agreement will be awarded under

this advertisement. The scope in-

cludes an IEWP and ASHRAE Level

II audits (Audits). The IEWP must

be completed within 365 calendar

days of the notice to proceed (NTP).

IEWP services encompass approxi-

mately thirty (30) North Dakota Army

National Guard facilities comprising

a total of approximately one million

one hundred thirty-nine thousand

nine hundred thirty-two (1,139,932)

square feet throughout North Dakota

including facilities located at Camp

Gilbert C. Grafton in Devils Lake,

ND. Audits will encompass approxi-

mately one hundred-twelve (112) fa-

cilities (including the facilities in the

IEWP) comprising a total of approx-

imately one million six hundred

forty-eight thousand nine hundred

ninety-eight (1,648,998) square feet

throughout North Dakota, completed

in phases with negotiated deliver-

ables at twelve (12) months, twenty

four (24) months, thirty six (36)

months and forty-eight (48) months.

Audit deliverables may be complet-

ed ahead of schedule but not later

than agreed to. The magnitude of

professional services is estimated to

be $250,000 – $500,000. The es-

timated start date of the agreement

is 1 October 2020 with a projected

completion date for all deliverables

as described above. Firms or Joint

Ventures (JV’s) responding to this

announcement must show capability

and satisfactory experience develop-

ing an IEWP for achieving increased

security, resilience, readiness and

assurance of critical missions and

facilities of the NDARNG. Firms or

JV’s must also show capability and

satisfactory experience for conduct-

ing ASHRAE Level II Energy and

Water Audits as well as evaluating

the data, developing the information

and submitting the necessary re-

ports. The firm or JV must be ap-

propriately qualified to work in the

State of North Dakota. The evalua-

tion factors to be considered during

the initial selection phase include but

are not necessarily limited to: past

performance of contracts with

government agencies as well as the

private sector; professional ability

PUBLIC NOTICE TO SURFACE

AND MINERAL OWNERS

Surface and Mineral Owners: Take

Notice!!

$33 million of Federal Cares Act

funds are about to be spent on just

376 of the thousands of the geriatric

oil wells that dot and too often cor-

rupt your land. The North Dakota In-

dustrial Commission intends begin a

race with the clock to plug and re-

claim sites of just 376 of the

thousands of leaking and

uneconomic oil wells before De-

cember 31, 2020. Thousands more

need to be plugged, many are on

your land. Beware, don’t be rushed.

It is your surface estate. Your voice

must be heard because, always

haste makes waste. The race to re-

claim the site present risks of a

further taking, actually a condemn-

ing of more of your property. Think

of minimally or long unproduced and

out of compliance wells. Their long

existence displays the NDIC’s deci-

sion to pick economic winners. Day

by day the original well owners and

state decision makers take your sur-

face estate and give it to oil industry

speculators. Your property has been

and will be condemned without com-

pensating you until you assert your-

self. You have not yet been but can

be made whole. Really? Mostly?

Partly? Just try. Give the courts a

chance to compel remediation or

award just compensation.

Eminent Domain Veteran, Natural

Resource and Constitutional

Lawyer, Fintan Dooley invites you

study well plugging video clips and a

power point demonstrating reclama-

tion of brine poisoned land. Your

salt-contaminated land is sick. Doo-

ley is the coordinator of the Salt

Contaminated Land and Water

Council , a 501(c)(3) Educational

and Stewardship Entity.

Access a collection of Video Clips

on Well Plugging, Remediation

Power- Point ,see the steps and real

cost of healing the soil. Go to:

www.saltedlands.org.

Read land owner testimonies and

State Geologist Ed Murphy’s paper,”

Leachate” diagramming how oil field

brines leach brine laterally and verti-

cally. Spills are not contained on

site. That’s right brine spills are not

contained because clay berms do

not stop dissolved sodium chloride.

Soon we will post:

Videos Oil Well Plugging, Remedia-

tion Power- Point and Aerial Map-

ping of Brine Damaged Land

Call 701-212-1000 or textable cell

414-731-0520.Tell your story. Doo-

ley listens free of charge. His team

is always willing to organize another

Zoom Conference to address your

and your township’s unique con-

cerns. Since 2013 Dooley and the

Salted Land Council has organized

oil field tours, presented workshops

to mineral and surface owners. Be-

cause of Covid 19 Zoom Confer-

ences are in vogue. Recruit your

granddaughter or your grandnephew

to zoom you in.

Learn the science behind reclama-

tion of salt and oil damaged land

and waters. Learn how you as a sur-

face owner can put your own equip-

ment to work and be assured of rec-

lamation to the maximum extent

possible under law. The law prom-

ises best engineering and state of

the art soil science practices.

Mineral owners, Dooley does credi-

tor bankruptcy. Don’t give up on the

unpaid royalties.

Dooley is an attorney and educator

who has been an oil field worker in

Louisiana and Wyoming and studied

the oil industry in West Africa and

Central Asia. Since 1976 he has de-

voted himself gently reminding both

ND State officials and the captains

of industry of their duties to protect

their workers’ health and keep their

promises to be faithful stewards.

When necessary, he has sued

Federal and state agents, cities,

counties and school districts along

with the giants of Industry. Not ever-

ybody loves Dooley.

Dooley advises you Surface and

Mineral Owners to recognize that,

although the letter of the law favors

you, the regulatory agencies are too

often captured by the very enter-

prises in need of regulation, Herein

the oil industry has captured every

ND and Federal Agency involved in

any aspect of the oil industry. The

subversion of government phenome-

na is cynically called “Agency Cap-

ture”. Its up to you, your team, and

your attorney to enforce the law.

State enforcers won’t do their duty

unless you and the courts are en-

gaged.

What if wells on corrupting your land

are not on the list? Then “Eat your

powder milk biscuit, get up and do

what needs to be done.” As Sister

Katherine Atkinson says” Just it dam

it!. The law provides procedures to

compel the plugging of abandoned,

unproductive or recently closed

wells. No prudent investor or wide

awake judge will disagree with the

well file reports which show gas, oil

water production history. If old con-

ventional wells on your land have no

future competing with Russian or

Saudi oil even Bakken oil send a no-

tice to quit to your tenant. The law

requires a certified notice .Force the

plugging. The cost of reclamation

and consequential damages will

determined by Tort Law , the Sur-

face Owner Protection Act, the

Lease Contract, and the State of the

Art of Environmental Engineering

and Best Reclamation Practices.

If you have a well on the list of 376

wells, be warned. Although plugging

can be done by December 31,2020,

honest reclamation before freeze up

is impossible. Veteran Soil Recla-

mation Kerry Sublette and his

three-decade-long- colleagues in

serving landowners and industry

sternly warn all of us, ” Haste will

cause waste, will delay and will in-

crease the cost of restoring soil

productivity.”

Land owners: do not sign any

release presented by well owners,

their contractors or the State of

North Dakota. Signing a release of

your claims without an understand-

ing of the extent of the contamina-

tion is worse than unwise. You may

devalue your property and expose

yourself to claims for leaching of pol-

lution from sites on your land to

downstream owners. Dooley’s team

includes electro-conductivity and soil

technicians, accountants, allied at-

torneys, engineers and soil scien-

tists.

Team Dooley helps you develop

your own multi-year plan of recla-

mation. That plan will include a cal-

culation of costs and schedule of

phases. In chronically spilled sites,

expect your land to be in the inten-

sive care ward for years. Your plan

should disclose the lateral and verti-

cal extent of the brine plumes and

chemicals left behind by years of the

state’s failure to enforce environ-

mental laws. Understand North

Dakota’s Constitution, the Police

and Public Trust Duties imposed on

North Dakota’s elected and appoint-

ed officials.

Know what is meant by State Lia-

bility for Inverse Condemnation. The

State has often taken your land,

condemned your property; first, by

failing to enforce Environmental

Laws against illegal oil industry prac-

tices and second, by allowing

uneconomic Temporarily Aban-

doned Wells to exist for years. In

1968 State Geologist Ed Murphy

wrote a paper called ” Leachate” di-

agramming how oil field brines leach

brine laterally and vertically. Spills

are not contained on site. That’s

right clay berms do not contain sodi-

um chloride. We now “cat scan”

those spills.

Learn what might be done when

North Dakota officials fail to enforce

statutes and rules against the oil in-

dustry. The ND Constitution, en-

vironmental statutes and rules show

the way forward to restoration of

your property.

The good news is that all persons

and corporations in the chain of title

of each the non- compliant oil wells

are responsible for the accumulated

damages of decades of spills. The

propositions for liability are as an-

cient and familiar as constitutional,

contract , statutory, property and tort

law,

Land owners, realism requires you

assert yourself. Brace yourself for

the time and cost of a state-of- the

art reclamation . Cooperate with

your neighbors. Poorly performed

reclamation is worse than delayed

reclamation.

For your children’s sake, finish the

race .Finish the fight.
