Wattis_Tension_Cracks.kmz

This is a Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file containing geographic data related to the Wattis Mine Coal Fire Abatement project, issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing under the conducting authority of the Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining. The project involves the sealing of five mine openings, eleven subsidence openings, fifteen exhaust vents and air intakes, and twenty-seven open cracks at an abandoned coal mine located in Carbon County, Utah. Work activities include excavation and grading, drilling shallow borings, and operation of specialized equipment such as a walker "spider" excavator to suffocate an active underground coal fire. A mandatory in-person site visit is required on October 20th at 10:00 am at the northwest parking lot located at the intersection of UT-10 S Carbon Avenue and Ridge Road in Carbon County. The site visit is expected to last approximately four hours and will involve driving and hiking over rugged terrain; high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended. Attendance at the entire pre-bid meeting is mandatory, and bids from firms not on record as attending will be considered nonresponsive. Per Utah Procurement Rule R33-101-13, an authorized representative must attend the site visit in person.

The KML file provides geographic coordinates (39.536251, -110.816029) and mapping data to facilitate bidder navigation to the project location from Price, Utah. No specific pricing terms, contract duration, funding amounts, or award dates are detailed within the geographic data file itself. Bidders are advised that abandoned mine closure work requires specialized expertise and involves hazardous conditions; entry into the mines is prohibited during independent site examination.
