The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Abandoned Mine Lands has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-42-26 24045AMLBAML) for a construction services project located in Pike County, specifically addressing erosion and infrastructure issues at a previously reclaimed site. The project requires a contractor to remove sediment from established ditches, replace an 18-inch culvert with a 24-inch HDPE culvert, adjust flow paths, and install a new concrete block-tied mat ditch. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 10:30 AM at 509 Tolie Lane in Pikeville, Kentucky, with bid submissions due on August 27, 2025, at 9:30 AM. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with no postal, hand-delivered, or emailed submissions accepted. Contractors are required to be registered in the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and must upload a combined PDF of the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond. A public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. Bidders must enter $0.00 for the contract amount in the e-procurement system, with the actual contract amount to be submitted separately as an attachment. Project documents can be obtained at no charge from the Kentucky State Plan Room website (https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com), with the option to purchase hard copies if desired. The project is associated with the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) program and involves federally mandated Davis Bacon Wage Rates, which provide detailed wage requirements for various construction job classifications. While no specific budget range is listed, the project appears to be focused on infrastructure rehabilitation and erosion mitigation at a previously reclaimed mining site in Pike County, Kentucky.
