The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), Division of Purchases, on behalf of the Division of Facilities, is issuing a rebid Request for Bid (RFB 605 2600000536) to establish master agreements for commercial electrical supplies. This procurement encompasses 84 line items of electrical components and materials, including fiberglass struts and fittings, commercial-grade circuit breakers from manufacturers such as Siemens, Cutler Hammer, Square D, and Eaton in amperage ratings from 20 to 60 amperes, wireway for outdoor use, hand-off auto control switches, transformers, NEMA-rated disconnects, spring nuts, PVC Schedule 80 conduit for direct burial in multiple sizes, rigid conduit, MC cable, three-phase breakers and contactors, and commercial-grade 200 AMP service panelboards, with quantities ranging from 5 units to 1,500 feet. Bidders are not required to bid on all line items to be considered for award, though the KYTC reserves the right to make awards by line item to multiple vendors. Qualified vendors must maintain a brick-and-mortar store location within 50 miles of Frankfort, Kentucky, accept multiple ordering methods including telephone, email, walk-in, and internet orders, maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and provide Automobile Liability Insurance if delivering goods. All deliveries must be F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid, with standard in-stock items delivered within one hour for locations within five miles of the commercial store and within three hours for locations beyond that range. Pricing will be evaluated as 75 percent of the total score, with the lowest-priced bidder receiving maximum points and subsequent bidders receiving proportional scores based on price comparison, while an additional percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for items not specifically listed comprises the remaining 25 percent of evaluation criteria.

Reciprocal preference will be applied to Kentucky resident bidders in accordance with KRS 45A.490-494, and qualified bidders including Kentucky Correctional Industries and nonprofit organizations serving individuals with disabilities will receive preference points. The Commonwealth of Kentucky is not subject to state sales or use taxes, and all bidders must be registered in the Commonwealth's Vendor Self Service System prior to submission.
