Loudermilk Phase II AML Reclamation

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, has issued a Special Notice for the Loudermilk Phase II AML Reclamation project located in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. The notice concerns a critical land reclamation effort targeting an abandoned surface coal mine from 1958. The project focuses on addressing Priority 2 Abandoned Mine Land (AML) hazards, specifically dangerous highwalls, hazardous water bodies, and spoil areas. This reclamation initiative will involve approximately 65 acres of land, with the primary goal of grading and reshaping the site to align with adjacent topography while maintaining proper stormwater flow. The project is particularly significant in the context of the Supreme Court's McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, which has expanded OSMRE's responsibilities for enforcing Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) regulations on Tribal lands in Oklahoma.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit comprehensive electronic responses by May 8, 2025, directly to Cathy Boulware via email. The submission requirements include a capability statement, company size determination, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, and GSA contract number if applicable. Vendors must also provide a detailed approach demonstrating their ability to address the project's specific reclamation requirements. The project falls under the Remediation Services NAICS category (562910) and the Maintenance of Restoration of Real Property PSC category (Z1QA). While there is no specific set-aside for this contract, the notice emphasizes the critical nature of the project for protecting public health and safety. Potential contractors should carefully review the attached Sources Sought Notification document and prepare a comprehensive response that highlights their technical expertise in environmental restoration and mine land reclamation.
