The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), specifically the District Mining Operations (DMO), is seeking a professional consulting firm to conduct subsidence investigations in Pennsylvania's coal regions, covering Dauphin County, Washington County, and Harveys Lake Borough. The contract requires a consultant to prepare formal reports, conduct site evaluations, and investigate mine-related structural damages through comprehensive technical assessments. Key deliverables include detailed site investigations, drilling work, soil sampling, groundwater monitoring, and geological assessments with each project requiring prior DEP approval. The contract will commence upon execution and terminate on June 30, 2026, with potential renewal options for up to four additional consecutive annual terms. Specific qualifications mandate a geologist with at least five years of mine subsidence-drilling experience and a registered professional engineer with ten years of experience in mine subsidence damage investigations. The bid must be electronically submitted through the Department of General Services' eMarketplace website by September 9, 2025, with award determined by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit prices for six example project sites.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly outlined in the documentation, the contract appears open to qualified professional consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in mining subsidence investigations. The procurement allows for flexible project scoping, with potential increases or decreases in work volume based on DEP's needs. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract includes comprehensive pricing structures covering various services such as travel, mobilization, drilling, soil testing, surveying, and expert analysis. Payment terms require invoice submission within 30 days of project completion, with reimbursement for justifiable costs. While a specific total contract value is not provided, the documentation includes detailed unit-based pricing across 28 service categories, suggesting significant potential project expenditure. Bidders must provide extensive documentation, including compliance with federal requirements outlined in the attached federal requirements document, which emphasizes adherence to regulations like the Clean Air Act, Davis-Bacon Act, and Build America Buy America Act.
