The state of Pennsylvania, specifically Carbon County, has issued a state and local contract opportunity for an extensive environmental and infrastructure project focused on erosion and sediment control. The procurement involves multiple critical components, including rock construction entrance, compost filter sock installation, sediment filter tube placement, clearing and grubbing across 111.7 acres, extensive grading operations totaling 1,852,294 cubic yards, and comprehensive stream channel restoration efforts. Key deliverables include planting 36,318 tree seedlings, implementing erosion control measures, conducting channel excavation, and installing subsurface drainage systems. The bid documents are available free of charge on www.BidExpress.com through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, with the solicitation posted on January 14, 2026, and a proposal submission deadline of February 12, 2026. Bidders will need to demonstrate capabilities in environmental engineering, landscape restoration, and erosion control techniques, with a comprehensive understanding of ecological rehabilitation methodologies.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, potential bidders should anticipate standard state procurement requirements regarding contractor qualifications and potential preferences for local or disadvantaged business enterprises. The project's substantial scope, involving over 111 acres of land manipulation and significant earth moving operations, suggests a complex undertaking that will likely require substantial technical expertise and substantial capital investment. Though precise budget ranges are not specified, the extensive nature of the project—including grading 1,852,294 cubic yards, installing 6,980 linear feet of compost filter sock, and planting 36,318 tree seedlings—indicates a potentially high-value contract. Prospective contractors should be prepared to demonstrate robust environmental engineering capabilities, ecological restoration experience, and the technical infrastructure to manage a multi-phase infrastructure and environmental rehabilitation project across challenging terrain in eastern Pennsylvania.
