(a)In the reclamation of land affected by surface mining for which funds are available to the secretary, the secretary may avail itself of any services which may be provided by other state agencies or by agencies of the federal government, and may compensate them for such services. The secretary also may receive any federal funds, state funds or any other funds for the reclamation of land affected by surface mining.

Such contracts shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder upon competitive bids after advertising for bids in the Kansas register at least 30 days prior to bid opening. The department and any other agency and any contractor under a contract with the secretary shall have the right of access to the land affected to carry out such reclamation.

The secretary then shall release the bond posted by the operator for such area.
