Wattis_Construction_Areas.kmz

This file is a KMZ (Keyhole Markup Language Zipped) geospatial file associated with a request for proposal issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, conducted by the Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining, for coal fire abatement work at the Wattis Mine in Carbon County, Utah. The project involves sealing five mine openings, eleven subsidence openings, fifteen exhaust vents and air intakes, and twenty-seven open cracks at an abandoned coal mine through excavation, grading, shallow boring drilling, and use of specialized equipment including a walker "spider" excavator. A mandatory in-person site visit is required on Tuesday, October 20th at 10:00 a.m. at the northwest parking lot located at the intersection of UT-10 S Carbon Avenue and Ridge Road, with GPS coordinates 39.536251, -110.816029. The meeting is expected to last four hours and will involve driving and hiking over rugged terrain; high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended. Attendance by an authorized representative is mandatory, and bids from firms not documented as attending the entire meeting will be deemed nonresponsive. Bidders are encouraged to conduct additional site examinations on their own time, though entry into the mines is prohibited due to hazardous conditions.

The KMZ file provides geospatial mapping data to support bidders' understanding of the project location and site layout. This specialized abandoned mine closure work requires contractors with experience in unusual conditions and unique circumstances distinct from standard residential or commercial construction. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding details are contained within this geospatial file; such information would be found in the primary RFP documents and bid specifications.
