Boyd County - Provision and Delivery of Pre-fabricated Steel Bridge Structures

Boyd County Fiscal Court is seeking bids for the provision and delivery of pre-fabricated steel bridge structures through a competitive procurement process. The solicitation covers four specific bridge structures to be delivered to different sites within Boyd County, including Golden Gate Road Sites 1, 2, and 3, and Straight Creek Arch. These bridges vary in dimensions from 22'L x 15'W x 6'H to 45'L x 16'W x 8'H, with steel substructure and superstructure designed to accommodate concrete infill. The procurement is strictly for materials, with no installation or site work included in the contractor's responsibilities. Bids must be submitted through the DFS Procurement Portal by October 10th, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST, and must include comprehensive documentation such as insurance certificates, drug-free workplace policy, and other required compliance documents. Evaluation will likely focus on meeting technical specifications, pricing, and compliance with county requirements.

The procurement emphasizes inclusive participation, with Boyd County Fiscal Court encouraging responses from diverse businesses, including minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and hub-zone businesses. Contractors must comply with specific affirmative steps outlined in 2 CFR 200.321, which include placing qualified minority and women-owned enterprises on solicitation lists and actively soliciting these businesses as potential sources. Additionally, bidders must meet stringent insurance requirements, including $2,000,000 aggregate Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 Comprehensive Automobile Liability, and Workers' Compensation coverage. The county has implemented several compliance mechanisms, such as a Non-Collusion Declaration and a Drug-Free Workplace Affidavit, to ensure ethical and professional bidding practices. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the lump-sum pricing structure suggests that costs will be comprehensive, covering all labor, equipment, materials, and supply expenses for each bridge structure. The county reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process.
