Redding AML 2025

The Bureau of Land Management's Redding Field Office is seeking construction services for the 2025 Redding Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) and Demolition Project, focused on remediating physical safety hazards associated with abandoned mine workings in Shasta and Trinity Counties, California. The project involves demolishing residential structures, storage buildings, and outhouses; removing mining equipment; backfilling mine shafts and adits; and installing wildlife-friendly bat gates at multiple mining sites. Contractors must demonstrate experience in similar work, provide equal specifications, submit detailed project schedules, and maintain proper licensing for heavy and civil engineering construction work under NAICS code 237990. The government will evaluate submissions using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with technical acceptability determined by four non-price factors: project experience, equal specifications, project schedule, and contractor licensing. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for August 20, 2025, and quotations are due by September 13, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with a size standard of $45 million for the NAICS category of Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The contract structure is firm fixed price with a performance period from October 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, allowing 180 calendar days from notice to proceed for completion. The project encompasses 16 distinct line items including work on the Swasey Shaft, multiple residential and storage structures, mining equipment removal, ore processing facility work, and site remediation activities across various coordinates in the specified California counties. Work must comply with Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations, requiring minimum wage rates of $17.75 per hour for applicable workers, and the contractor must adhere to strict safety, environmental, and cultural resource protection protocols while performing the mine closure and demolition activities. The project locations are situated in remote mining areas of Northern California, requiring contractors to navigate challenging terrain and handle potentially hazardous materials associated with abandoned mining operations.
