Z--Emergency Construction Services Related to Abandoned Coal Mines

The contract involves mine reclamation construction services focused on the closure and sealing of five abandoned coal mine openings in King County, Washington. The scope of work includes excavation of soil materials and the construction of four polyurethane foam plugs with concrete caps, as well as one grated culvert to effectively seal the mine entrances. Notably, no underground work is required. The project, known as the Independent & Clay Pit Road Reclamation Project (WA-06-006), is set to commence in July 2006, with an estimated budget ranging between $75,000 and $90,000. Participation in the bidding process requires mandatory attendance at a pre-bid site visit, held at 10:00 AM in Newcastle, Washington, at King County’s Cougar Mountain Park. Bids from contractors who do not register and attend the full site inspection will not be opened. Additionally, all requests for the invitation for bids must be submitted in writing via mail or fax to the Office of Surface Mining at the Department of the Interior’s Denver Federal Center. The contract is a total small business set-aside, ensuring only eligible small businesses may submit bids for this government-funded emergency construction service.
