Situated in the Bookcliffs, the elevation of the work area is approximately 5,000 feet. <br /> WORK SUMMARY <br /> The Fruita Mine is an underground coal mine. The permit was revoked and the financial <br /> warranty forfeited by the State of Colorado in 1994. The site was reclaimed using the forfeited <br /> bond money in 1996 and in 2000 which included grading, erosion controls and revegetation. <br /> Since the site was last reclaimed in 2000, a number of erosion features have developed that <br /> require repair and maintenance. The project work will include removal and plugging of the pipe <br /> spillway in the sediment pond, grading and lining of the sediment pond spillway, maintenance <br /> and repair of several rock lined channels, armoring above the mine portal and revegetation of all <br /> newly disturbed areas. <br /> PRE-BID MEETING AND SITE SHOWING <br /> A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site showing will be held at the parking lot of the City Market in <br /> Fruita on December 9. 2008 at 9:00 a.m. <br /> The purpose of the Pre-Bid meeting is to afford potential bidders the opportunity to inspect the <br /> proposed work and access conditions.
