Concrete Maintenance D4 - FHWA ER Eligible

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, specifically for Breckinridge County and surrounding District 4 counties, is soliciting a Request for Bid (RFB) for concrete maintenance services funded through Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) emergency relief funds. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive concrete infrastructure work, including curb and gutter construction, header curb installation, stamped concrete, and sidewalk services. Contractors must furnish all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and tools to complete the project, with specific quantitative requirements including 2,000 linear feet of curb and gutter, 250 linear feet of header curb, and varying concrete surface areas. Bidders are required to be prequalified for Portland Cement Concrete Paving work with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and must comply with Buy America provisions and Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements. The bid is due on March 18, 2025, at 1:30 PM ET, with a tentative award date of March 21, 2025, and an initial contract period running through March 31, 2026, with potential for four additional one-year renewal periods.

The contract includes a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, but mandates compliance with federal participation guidelines for female and minority representation, with nationwide female participation set at 6.9%. Contractors will be subject to a $1,000 per day penalty for delays beyond the contracted delivery date, except for externally caused delays. The project requires strict adherence to FHWA-1273 provisions, which encompass nondiscrimination requirements, Davis-Bacon wage standards, and various federal certification protocols. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a substantial infrastructure investment with potential for significant contract value. Technical requirements include detailed recordkeeping, weekly certified payroll submissions, and compliance with federal construction contract provisions applicable to projects exceeding $2,000, with additional stipulations for contracts over $100,000 and $150,000.
