Letcher County Fiscal Court in Kentucky is issuing a Request for Bids (RFB) for shoulder repair work at Chip Drive Site 2 (Project 735139), funded through a FEMA grant. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to perform road repairs including the removal of 5.7 tons of temporary rock and transportation to the road department, installation of 13.67 square yards of geotextile fabric, and installation of 5.7 tons of Class II channel lining across a 41-foot length, 3-foot width, and 2-foot depth area located at GPS coordinates 37.15515, -82.76466. Bidders must submit unit pricing for four line items: rock removal (per ton), geotextile fabric provision and installation (per square yard), Class II channel lining provision and installation (per ton), and mobilization/demobilization with traffic control (lump sum), with all pricing to be all-inclusive of labor, equipment, materials, and supplies with no adjustments permitted except for county-approved changes. The work must be completed within 60 days of contract award, and contractors cannot begin work until the executed contract is finalized and coordination is made with county supervisor Matt Amburgey at (606) 595-8710. Required submittals include proof of insurance, drug-free workplace policy, and eight certification and declaration forms addressing non-collusion, lobbying compliance, debarment status, conflict of interest, and affirmative steps for small and minority businesses. Bids and all required documents must be submitted online through the DFS Procurement Portal (dfs.bonfirehub.com) no later than May 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST.

The Request for Bids does not specify explicit set-aside designations; however, contractors must demonstrate affirmative steps for small and minority business participation as part of their certification requirements. Invoices and final payment are contingent upon work completion, submission of before-and-after photographs with GPS metadata, documentation of material sources and quarry locations, haul-off location verification, and quantity supporting documentation, followed by reconciliation by the Grants Management Team and Fiscal Court approval. Any contractor with overdue work for the county is ineligible for additional work until completion of overdue projects. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the procurement documents. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation; however, bidders should anticipate that pricing will be evaluated based on the unit rates submitted for each line item along with demonstrated qualifications and compliance with all certification requirements.
