AML - Beckley Soccer Complex

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), Office of Abandoned Mine Lands and Reclamation, is seeking bids for a comprehensive construction and reclamation project at the Beckley Soccer Complex in Raleigh County. The solicitation encompasses two sites with eight portal closures, subsidence mitigation, and soccer field access road construction. Key deliverables include mine seal and bat gate installation, access road construction, asphalt and concrete removal and replacement, parking lot stabilization using permeation grouting and geogrid materials, revegetation of disturbed areas, and utility work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 20, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the soccer complex back main parking lot, with technical questions due by October 27, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. The final bid submission deadline is November 3, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., with all bids to be submitted electronically through the wvOASIS Vendor Self Service (VSS) portal. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond and demonstrate capability to complete the extensive 47-line-item project involving significant earthwork, excavation, grouting, and infrastructure development.

The contract is federally funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Abandoned Mine Land (AML) funding, which imposes specific compliance requirements. Contractors must adhere to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates and federal procurement standards, including domestic preference for materials. All contractors and subcontractors are required to complete a Contractor Information Form (AVS) for eligibility evaluation by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) and submit a Coal Industry Employee Certification Form within 30 days of submission. The contract is structured as a term contract with an initial one-year period and potential renewals for up to three successive one-year periods. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence (or $1,000,000 for contracts under $25,000). Liquidated damages are set at $1,000 per working day for delays beyond the contract completion period. While no specific total project value is listed, the comprehensive nature of the project and multiple line items suggest a substantial infrastructure investment for the Raleigh County soccer complex redevelopment.
