SPECIAL CONDITIONS <br /> Coal Basin Mine/Huntsman Project <br /> PKA-8-417 <br /> PROJECT LOCATION <br /> The project site is located four miles west of Redstone in Pitkin County, Colorado. The mine is <br /> accessed by way of a paved service road. Roads on the mine property are dirt (Map 1, General <br /> Location). <br /> WORK SUMMARY <br /> The project work will include removal of coal wash plant reject (refuse) material from an existing <br /> refuse disposal area. The overly steep north facing slope of the refuse disposal area will be cut <br /> back to a less steep configuration. Excavated material will be used as fill material at the refuse <br /> area, and at a designated disposal area west of the cut area. Upon completion of earth work, <br /> the cut slope will top soiled and revegetated. Silt fence may be erected at the base of the cut <br /> slope to minimize sediment transportation from the construction site. Trees and shrub cuttings <br /> will be planted within the Project Area. <br /> This project is funded by Abandoned Mined Land Fees, and will be conducted on a coal mine <br /> site which was previously permitted by the State of Colorado, Division of Minerals and Geology. <br /> The portion of the coal refuse disposal facility which is addressed by this Project was <br /> constructed prior to August 3, 1977, and is therefore eligible for funding by Abandoned Mined <br /> Land Fees. Reclamation of portions of the mine site which were affected after August 3, 1977 is <br /> separately funded. Activities on those lands are addressed in other Invitation to Bid documents. <br /> PRE-BID MEETING AND SITE SHOWING <br /> A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site showing will be held at 10:30 a.m. on June 16, 1998. The <br /> Pre-Bid Meeting will begin at the Coke Ovens on Highway 133 opposite the south entrance to <br /> Redstone, in western Pitkin County (Map 2, Pre-Bid Meeting Location). <br /> The Pre-Bid Meeting is for the purpose of showing prospective bidders the work site and vicinity. <br /> Bidders are advised to be prompt. A sign-in sheet will be available at the Pre-Bid meeting for <br /> firms to register their attendance. It is the bidder's responsibility to make certain their attendance <br /> is recorded on the sign-in sheet. Failure to sign-in or to attend the entire meeting will be cause <br /> for rejection of a bid. <br /> Bidders are cautioned that, notwithstanding any remarks or clarifications given at this meeting <br /> and site showing, all terms and conditions of the contract documents remain unchanged unless <br /> they are changed by written amendment issued by the OWNER. If the answers to questions, or <br /> any amendment to the contract documents create ambiguities, it is the responsibility of the <br /> bidder to seek clarification prior to submitting a bid. <br /> BID OPENING DATE <br /> The bid opening date for this project is July 2, 1998 at 2:30 p.m. <br /> 1 <br />
