About this file
This document is a policy guideline from the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Division regarding procurement preferences for contractors employing current and former coal industry employees, specifically aligned with Section 40701 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (P.L. 117-58). The policy applies to AML construction projects valued over $100,000, where potential bidders can utilize Procurement Code 30 ILCS 500/45-110, with the primary goal of awarding contracts to the lowest responsible bidder.
The key procurement preference mechanism allows bidders who can demonstrate employment of at least two former coal mine employees to potentially receive contract preference. If a qualified bidder can meet this employment criterion and submits a bid no more than 2% higher than the lowest bid, they may be given preference in contract award. At the time of bidding, contractors must provide proof that at least two current employees are former coal mine workers and commit to utilizing these employees in the AML Reclamation project. This policy aims to support employment opportunities for workers transitioning from the coal industry while maintaining competitive bidding practices.
