RFB-244-25 24038AMLBAML Perry County

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) is seeking a construction services contractor for a critical environmental remediation project in Perry County through Request for Bid (RFB-244-25). The project, located at 325 Harvey Lane in Hazard, KY, involves addressing drainage and hillside stability issues caused by pre-law mining activities across approximately 2.9 acres, with an expected 2.0 acres of total disturbance. Key project objectives include implementing excavation and drainage controls to remedy hillside sliding, with specific requirements involving 1.0 acres of tree disturbance in unstable areas and 0.5 acres in stable areas. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for May 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time at the Hazard AML Office, and bidders must submit proposals electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by May 21, 2025, at 09:30 AM. Contractors must be registered in the state's eProcurement System and prepared to work with a waste area of approximately 3.6 acres located about 4.0 miles from the primary project site.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must be fully registered in the Commonwealth's eProcurement System. Potential contractors should be aware of a possible voluntary payment to the Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund, pending determination by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bid documents, specifications, and drawings are available at no charge through the state plan room website, with technical support provided by Lynn Imaging. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the environmental remediation project suggests a substantial investment in addressing mining-related landscape instability and drainage challenges in the Perry County region.
