RFB-42-26 24045AMLBAML, Pike County

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands has issued Request for Bids (RFB-42-26 24045AMLBAML) for construction services focused on erosion control and drainage improvements in Pike County. The procurement specifically requires contractors to perform comprehensive site rehabilitation, including removing sediment from existing ditches, replacing an 18-inch culvert with a 24-inch HDPE culvert, installing new Class II ditches and concrete block-tied mat ditches, and replacing an 8-inch drainage pipe. Contractors must address weather-related erosion issues that developed after previous reclamation work at the site. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time, located at 509 Tolie Lane in Pikeville, Kentucky. Bid submissions are exclusively electronic through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with bids due by August 27, 2025, at 9:30 AM, and a public bid opening via conference call scheduled for 11:00 AM Eastern Time the same day. Potential bidders must be registered in the Vendor Self Service system at least 24-48 hours before the bid closing date and download project plans and specifications from the State of Kentucky Plan Room website.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit their bid with $0.00 as the contract amount in the eProcurement system and provide the actual contract amount on the official bid document, accompanied by a required bid bond in a single PDF. The project contact is Scott Muncy from the Division of Abandoned Mine Lands, with Susan Ward from the Division of Contract Administration serving as the purchasing agent. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the site rehabilitation suggests a substantial infrastructure improvement project. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability in mine land reclamation, erosion control, and drainage infrastructure replacement. The procurement appears focused on resolving specific environmental and infrastructural challenges at a previously reclaimed mine site, indicating a targeted, specialized construction services requirement.
