RFB-40-26 24012AMLBAML, Floyd County

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-40-26 24012AMLBAML) for a critical reclamation project located in Floyd County, specifically targeting a 5.5-acre site behind a residential property owned by Steve Roberts. The procurement seeks construction services focused on addressing water runoff and potential land instability through specific environmental remediation activities, including creating a large rock ditch on an eroded hillside, removing fallen trees, constructing a retaining wall, and managing drainage infrastructure. Bidders must submit online proposals through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system and be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, with all bids due by August 22, 2025, at 09:30 AM Eastern Time. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 7, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, located at 95 Red Town Lane in Bety Layne, Kentucky. Bidders are required to submit an official bid document and bid bond as a single PDF attachment, with environmental considerations including minimal tree disturbance (0.5 acres), potential bat conservation fund payments, and strict sediment and erosion control best management practices.

The waste area for this project spans 13 acres, with an expected disturbance of 0.6 acres between KY-680 and KY-1426. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid requires careful environmental compliance and technical expertise in land reclamation and infrastructure development. A public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with all bid results to be posted on the Kentucky State Plan Room website. The solicitation does not specify an explicit contract value, with bidders instructed to enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the e-procurement system. Interested contractors should have demonstrated experience in environmental remediation, land stabilization, drainage infrastructure construction, and the ability to work within strict environmental conservation guidelines. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability, environmental sensitivity, and compliance with Kentucky's AML project requirements.
