The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands (DAML) is seeking construction services through Request for Bid (RFB) No. RFB-271-25 for an environmental remediation project in Letcher County. The project focuses on addressing property damage at Jerald Hacker's residence by removing coal refuse and overburden debris, constructing a reinforced concrete ditch, and performing site stabilization work. Specific deliverables include removing debris from the east side drain, constructing a concrete barrier wall, and replacing an existing deck "in kind" to ensure long-term property stability. Bidders must be registered in the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and submit bids exclusively through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with no email or hard copy submissions accepted. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for 6/10/2025 at 9:00 AM at the AML Hazard Office, and the final bid submission deadline is 7/1/2025 at 9:30 AM, with a public bid reading to be conducted via conference call. Contractors must provide a complete bid document and bid bond as a single PDF attachment through the electronic system.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, though contractors must meet standard state registration requirements. The project will be funded through the Kentucky Division of Abandoned Mine Lands and will cover approximately 1.2 acres, with 0.5 acres to be actively disturbed. While no specific contract value is directly stated, the bid schedule includes multiple line items for activities such as mobilization, utility relocation, landscape allowance, traffic control, earthwork, concrete work, stone backfill, and seeding. The contract duration is set at 120 calendar days, with careful attention to environmental considerations including erosion and sediment control best management practices.
