Lester Patterson Road Site Remediation (UAD)

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) is issuing an Invitation for Bids for the remediation of an unauthorized dump site located at Lester Patterson Road in Elrod, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama (though the opportunity is being procured through Wilcox County). The project requires the removal of approximately 800 cubic yards of construction/demolition waste, household waste, rubbish, and approximately 50 scrap tires from the site, with proper disposal documentation and site closure in accordance with Division 13 Regulations. All bids must be accompanied by a basic remediation plan prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Alabama and must include a detailed project cost estimate breakdown organized by labor, equipment, disposal, and mobilization costs. The selected contractor must commence work within ten days of award and complete the project within ninety days, with liquidated damages assessed for non-completion within the agreed timeframe. Three "No Dumping" signs must be installed at department-designated locations, and all required documentation must be submitted through the Alabama Environmental Permitting and Compliance System (AEPACS) portal. The bid submission deadline is March 18, 2026, and prospective bidders are required to conduct their own onsite inspection, with no mandatory onsite meeting held. Award will be made on an "all or none" basis to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications, and bids exceeding $25,000 will be referred to the State of Alabama Division of Purchasing for evaluation and contract placement.

Bidders submitting proposals exceeding $100,000 must be licensed under Title 34, Chapter 8, Code of Alabama, 1975, and must include their license number in the proposal; all bidders except individuals must provide evidence of qualification with the Secretary of State to conduct business in Alabama. All vendors are required to comply with federal immigration law through E-Verify enrollment and must certify sales tax compliance. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are identified in the procurement documents. The solicitation does not reference any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The maximum budget established by ADEM for this project is $102,000.00, with equipment mobilization reimbursement capped at $1,250.00. Selected bidders will be required to sign a conflict of interest disclosure form and provide legal worker status documentation before contract execution. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax, and the contract will be governed by standard ITB terms and conditions, including a 30-day cancellation provision for supplies and 72-hour cancellation provision for services.
