This is a Request for Bids (RFB-114-26 24029AMLBAML) issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands for comprehensive construction and environmental remediation services in Perry County, Kentucky. The project addresses slope stabilization and drainage remediation across three separate sites located along and near Sixteen Mile Creek Road in the Hazard community, all experiencing instability resulting from historical mining activities. The scope of work encompasses site preparation, utility relocation, structure removal and replacement, concrete work, steel reinforcement, erosion control measures, subdrain and HDPE pipe installation, soil and rock drilling, retaining wall construction, and vegetation restoration across 57 line items with quantities ranging from lump sum mobilization to 9,500 cubic yards of earthwork. Critical project objectives include remediating two medium-sized slides—one posing a threat to traffic on approximately 110 linear feet of Sixteen Mile Creek Road and another threatening access to Mt. Zion Church and its cemetery—while addressing extensive drainage problems causing structural damage to residences. The bid schedule establishes unit prices ranging from $1.00 to $1,250.00 depending on the line item, with lump sum allowances and allowable price limits for certain items. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 29, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the AML Hazard Office (101 Bulldog Lane, Hazard, Kentucky 41701) with Lucas Gumm from the Division of Abandoned Mine Lands.
