RE: Waiver of Fiscaj Rule, Engineering Contract
O.C. #2 Mine, SOAP
Permit Number C-80-002
The Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) requests a waiver of fiscal rule Chapter 3,
Section 1.20 requiring the use of a contract for all engineering services. DMG is planning
to acquire the services of an engineer under the Small Operator's assistance program. The
anticipated cost is less than $10,000.
The Small Operator Assistance Program (SOAP) is set forth in §34-33-112 and offers
administrative, educational, and administrative assistance to the small coal operators in the
State of Colorado. The Act defines a small operator as an operator of a mine in which the
probable total annual production will not exceed one hundred thousand tons. The operator
of the O.C. #2 coal mine has requested that we provide services to assist him in providing
additional necessary technical and administrative assistance in preparation of a revision to
the permit. The revision will be reviewed and approved or denied by DMG personnel.
The work to be accomplished under this project includes developing a topographic map and
a post-mining topographic map of the site, developing a hydrologic reclamation plan,
designing a backfilling and grading plan to meet stability requirements and developing cross-
sections to compare the pre-mining, current and post-mining topography.
The DMG would prefer to use a Purchase Order Contract due to the low dollar amount of
the project. The Purchase Order will include similar conditions to that of a contract, but
will not use the Special Provisions required by a contract. The standard insurance, as well
as professional liability insurance will be required.
Due to the short time-frame of this project, your timely response will be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
