The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is soliciting proposals for Harmonds Creek Portals Phase II, an Abandoned Mine Land remediation project involving assessment, design, and construction to stabilize and reclaim abandoned mine portals at the Harmonds Creek site, with proposals due September 23, 2026.

Funding is sourced through the federal Abandoned Mine Land program administered by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement in conjunction with state matching funds.

Evaluation criteria include technical qualifications, experience with similar AML projects, and cost proposals. Pricing terms, bonding specifications, and insurance requirements are specified in the solicitation documents to establish contractor financial capability and performance assurance.

Site visits and a bidders' conference are planned to allow potential contractors to become familiar with site conditions and submit clarifying questions. Set-asides or preferences may apply based on West Virginia state requirements or federal AML program guidelines, though specific preference programs are not detailed in the available summaries. Contract award is anticipated following proposal evaluation, with contract term and renewal options specified in the formal solicitation terms and conditions.
