About this file

This is Standard Form 30 (Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract) for solicitation 140S0326R0001, issued by the Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation (OSMRE), Department of Interior, located in Lakewood, Colorado. Amendment 3 extends the proposal submission deadline to Friday, November 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST and provides vendor questions with government responses and a revised bid sheet. The project, titled Pollyanna #2 Acid Mine Drainage, is a small business set-aside with a contract period of performance from January 19, 2027, to January 18, 2028, and a project magnitude between $1 million and $5 million. The work involves acid mine drainage treatment and wetland creation at a site in Latimer County, Oklahoma (GPS coordinates 34°52-7.78-N, 95°28-2.10-W).

The project requires performance and payment bonds of 100 percent of the original contract price for construction costs exceeding $150,000, furnished within 14 days of award. Applicable regulations include the Davis-Bacon Act and NAICS code 562910 (waste treatment and disposal services) for firms with fewer than 1,000 employees. A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 11:00 AM local time, though attendance is not mandatory. Key bid line items include earth work, limestone placement (AASHTO #3 high-calcium limestone from Marble City), dosing siphon installation, riprap placement, and wetland seeding with approximately 660 plants on 24-inch centers across a 2,640-square-foot wetland. The contractor must obtain all required Oklahoma state and local licenses before performance begins, manage pond sludge and residual material, and develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan and general construction permit as necessary.

NORM has been known to occur in acid mine drainage related to coal mining activities.

22 STORM WATER POLLUTION

PREVENTION PLAN, page 7

It is stated that a SWPPP is not required for this project and that OSMRE developed the BMPS in an attached drawing. Please provide the contract requriments for BMP installation, inspections, and maintenance.

A stormwater pollution preventation plan and a general construction permit are anticipated and will be the responsibility of the contractor. The information related to OSMRE developed BMPs and the associated attachment were attached to this RFP by mistake. The contrator will be required to develop and acquire a SWPPP

Can you confirm whether the subcontractor qualifications will count towards the past performance requirements in relation to the subject solicitation?

No, only the Prime. This is a small business set a-side and a sub-contrctor plan is not required.

The necessary permits we anticipate this project requiring are a stormwater pollution preventation plan and a general construction permit from the state, any and all other permits necessary for the project to be successful will be determined by the contractor. The pond dewatering will not require a ODEQ permit. No discharge permit is applicable for the contractor, at this time, for the AMD as it is related directly to the permit and the former operator.
