Description
The Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Division of Abandoned Mine Lands is soliciting construction services to remediate multiple abandoned mine portal sites in Johnson County. The work includes excavating, draining, and capping portals with wildlife‑safe closures, installing drainage features, constructing a Class III ditch and culvert, replacing a compromised culvert under Williams Branch Road, and stabilizing roof areas with aggregate support. Waste material generated will be reused on‑site for grading and non‑impounding treatment. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, materials, and required permits, and submit a complete bid package electronically through the state e‑procurement system.
