II. PURPOSE

The OSMRE is seeking a construction vendor to complete the Loudermilk Phase II AML Reclamation. The purpose of this SSN is to identify potential vendors capable of providing AML Reclamation construction services that can accomplish the full reclamation of an emergency AML site in Pittsburg County. This action is critical for the protection of public health, safety, and property from extreme danger of adverse effects of coal mining practices, including when an emergency exists constituting a danger to the public health, safety, or general welfare. If not awarded, the residents of Oklahoma are at risk of imminent harm.

Pursuant to the Supreme Court decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma, OSMRE is charged with enforcing SMCRA on Tribal lands within Oklahoma.

In support of this effort, the OSMRE is conducting market research to further refine requirements and establish the best acquisition approach. Please note that requirements defined to date may change before issuance of a final RFB/RFP.

III. REQUIREMENTS

The site consists of a surface coal mine that was abandoned by 1958. The Priority 2 Abandoned Mine Land (AML) hazards located at this site are dangerous highwalls (DH), hazardous water bodies (HWB) and spoil areas (SA) listed in the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement’s AML Inventory
