LA County Department of Regional Planning (DRP) seeks an experienced Consultant Team to work with DRP on the technical analysis of the minimum amortization period(s) required for cessation of non-conforming status for idle and active oil wells within unincorporated Los Angeles County.

Specifically, the Contractor shall assess the requirements, prepare a preferred approach to an amortization study, and finalize a work program to analyze varying criteria, establish categories of oil operations sharing similar operational or investment characteristics, apply an environmental justice priority rating factor, and recommend amortization schedules to phase out oil drilling and the resultant closure of idle and active wells.

The results of the amortization model(s) may result in further amendments to the County's municipal code. Additionally, the Contractor shall apply a weighted factor methodology to the results of the amortization model(s) and present recommendations for well closures in disadvantaged areas.
