pro.mine form~4.docx

This document appears to be a bidding requirement form related to the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation project, implemented under Section 40701 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (P.L. 117-58). The form outlines specific employment priorities for the reclamation project, with a focus on providing job opportunities for current and former coal industry employees. Qualified bidders are required to demonstrate employment of at least two former coal mine employees as part of their project team, either by proving current employment or committing to hire such workers.

The bidding requirements include a verification process where bidders must provide documentation proving the coal mining background of the employees they plan to engage. Acceptable proof includes United Mine Workers Union Cards, former pay stubs, official employment letters, performance memos, and evaluations. The form requires bidders to attach these supporting documents at the time of bid submission, with an authorized representative's signature and date to validate the claims. This approach appears designed to support local economic recovery in coal-dependent regions by prioritizing employment of workers from the coal industry in infrastructure reclamation projects.
