This is Amendment #4 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB #32701-13826) issued by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for the Little White Oak Reclamation Project. The amendment updates the ITB schedule and clarifies project requirements through responses to bidder questions. The mandatory pre-response conference was held on February 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET, with written questions and comments due by February 17, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. CT. Sealed bids must be submitted by March 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT. The project involves land reclamation services across 65.3 acres of abandoned strip mine areas at three sites in Campbell County near Duff, Tennessee, with primary deliverables including clearing and grubbing, area grading and excavation, landslide remediation, installation of 11,100 linear feet of silt retention barriers, supply and placement of 3,765 tons of rip-rap and limestone, construction of 400 feet of stream restoration structures, road restoration, and vegetation establishment. The contract term is 24 months from the effective date with a potential state option to extend an additional 180 days under identical terms and conditions, with work completion required within approximately 300 days of receipt of order subject to performance milestones requiring 25 percent, 50 percent, and 75 percent acreage completion by days 75, 150, and 225 respectively.

Amendment #4 provides specific site coordinates for the three project locations and clarifies technical specifications for fence work, specifying that wood posts will be round, 6-inch pressure-treated posts to be tamped in with dirt. The amendment confirms that the state owner will be responsible for removing residential waste areas noted in the project plans. The expected maximum contract liability exceeds $1,500,000 with firm and fixed compensation covering all goods, services, deliverables, materials, equipment, overhead, and costs for the entire contract term. The project is federally funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Interior's Office of Surface Mining and is subject to Build America Domestic Procurement Preference requirements mandating that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials be produced in the United States. Qualified respondents must hold a valid Tennessee State Contractor License with applicable classifications, register with the Tennessee Supplier Portal and Tennessee Department of Revenue, obtain a DUNS number, comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, and provide evidence of required insurance coverage and performance and payment bonds totaling 125 percent of the maximum project liability.
