The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-09-26 24084AMLBAML) for a mine subsidence area remediation project located in Henderson County. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform comprehensive excavation and construction work, specifically involving the creation of a 20-foot diameter circular trench with 3:1 to 4:1 side slopes and constructing an 8-inch thick reinforced concrete closure with #5 steel reinforcing. Key project deliverables include exposing an existing concrete structure, closing a mine opening, monitoring methane levels, site restoration using AML revegetation methods, and repairing any disturbed driveways. Mandatory requirements include online bidding through the Commonwealth's eProcurement System, with all bid documents submitted electronically. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on 07/22/2025 at 11:00 A.M. Central Time, located at 7167 Airline Road in Henderson, Kentucky, and bid submissions due by 07/30/2025 at 09:30. Contractors must be registered in the state's eProcurement System, with no hard copy or email submissions permitted, and a public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. The project appears to be a standalone mine subsidence remediation effort without references to existing infrastructure integration requirements. While a specific award value or budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project involving extensive excavation, concrete construction, site restoration, and methane monitoring suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should be prepared for a complex civil engineering project requiring specialized skills in mine land remediation, concrete construction, environmental monitoring, and site restoration. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, compliance with AML revegetation methods, and proficiency in executing precise excavation and construction specifications in a sensitive environmental context.
