RFP – Center Street Reclamation

Earth Conservancy (EC) invites qualified engineering firms to submit proposals for design, permitting, bid assistance, and construction oversight services for the Center Street reclamation project, involving approximately 24 acres of mine-scarred land, consisting of stripping pits and culm/refuse banks, in Newport Township, Luzerne County. The project, funded in part by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), seeks to restore and stabilize disturbed abandoned mine lands, improve public safety, and prepare the property for future reuse.

Proposals will be accepted until noon on Tuesday, November 5, 2023.  Further details may be found here in the public advertisement for the RFP.  EC is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and, as a matter of policy, encourages the participation of Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises.

Should you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Terry Ostrowski, PE, at 570.899.9799 or t.ostrowski@earthconservancy.org.

OUR WORK

EC’s primary work is reclamation.  We believe through reclamation, both environmental restoration and economic revitalization can occur.  In the last 30 years, over 2,000 acres of mine-scarred lands have been reclaimed and now are available for – or are already in – constructive use.  We also are proud of our efforts to mitigate the damage of abandoned mine drainage in local watersheds.  All of our projects trace back to EC’s overarching plan, one that seeks a more livable community now, and clears the way for positive, progressive change for future generations.
