The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-08-26 25016AMLBAML) for a construction services project located in Pike County, specifically at 78 Elswick Branch in Jonancy, Kentucky. The procurement solicits comprehensive environmental remediation and slope stabilization services, with key deliverables including stabilizing a section of slope and ditch, removing approximately 80 linear feet of concrete block-tied mat, installing a Class III buttress and ditch, and removing sediment from a citizen's yard. The total project encompasses 3.37 acres, with 0.7 acres of planned disturbance, and requires strict sediment and erosion control measures. Bidders must submit responses electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for 07/17/2025 at 11:00 AM. All vendors must be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, and bids are due on 07/29/2025 at 09:30 AM, with a public bid reading to be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date. Potential bidders must submit the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond as a single PDF attachment and enter $0.00 for the Contract Amount in the e-procurement system.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project includes provisions for potential bat conservation fund payments and will involve burning trees and brush at the project site or waste area, with all disturbed areas to be revegetated using cover crop, lime, fertilizer, and wildlife seed. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. Bidders should note that no hard copy, emailed, or hand-delivered bids will be accepted, and the actual contract amount must be submitted separately from the e-procurement system entry. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the environmental remediation work suggests a substantial project scope. The solicitation emphasizes electronic submission processes and requires careful attention to detailed technical specifications for slope stabilization, sediment removal, and environmental restoration.
