About this opportunity

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is soliciting bids for the AML 2308 Freeman United Panther Creek Project, a reclamation effort located in Perry County, Illinois. The procurement seeks a contractor to eliminate hazards caused by over-topping of Panther Creek, which severely eroded a previously reclaimed embankment adjacent to a 30-acre freshwater impoundment and washed away an access road. Specific project deliverables include placing approximately 8,261 cubic yards of furnished excavation, 2,475 tons of RR5 Rip Rap, 2,200 square yards of filter fabric and bedding stone, and seeding 8 acres with native vegetation. Bidders must be prequalified with the Illinois Department of Transportation and submit all documents electronically through the BidBuy system by March 24, 2025. The contract term runs from execution through July 31, 2026, with work to commence within 10 calendar days of contract execution and an initial seeding date of September 15, 2025. Evaluation will focus on the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder, with the bid remaining firm for 90 days from opening.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference designations, particularly emphasizing employment opportunities for current and former coal industry workers. The state has established a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal of 3% and a Veteran Business Participation (VBP) goal of 0%, with a priority on contractors who can demonstrate employment of at least two former coal mine workers. Bidders demonstrating such employment who submit a bid within 2% of the lowest bid may receive contract preference. The project is partially funded through federal sources, specifically the Abandoned Mined Lands Reclamation program, and is subject to strict Buy America provisions requiring that iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials be produced in the United States. The estimated contract value is $50,000 or greater, with specific requirements for domestic content and compliance with prevailing wage regulations. Contractors must also submit certified payroll records and potentially employ Illinois laborers during periods of high unemployment.
