The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, specifically the Division of Right of Way & Utilities, is soliciting bids for a demolition services contract in Meade County, Kentucky, focused on removing nine residential parcels along Highway 79 in Brandenburg. This Request for Bid (RFB) 605-25000000691 requires contractors to completely demolish structures including homes, garages, septic systems, wells, concrete surfaces, and associated improvements to facilitate a road reconstruction project. Bidders must submit comprehensive pricing for all nine parcels through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service system by May 29, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with a tentative contract award date of June 6, 2025. The evaluation will be conducted using a best value approach, with price being the primary criterion. Contractors must comply with multiple state regulations, including Kentucky 811 underground utility damage prevention, proper material disposal, environmental guidelines, and seeding of disturbed areas. No mandatory pre-bid meeting is required, but contractors are expected to independently inspect project sites before submitting proposals.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the bid documents suggest potential preferences for Kentucky resident bidders or qualified entities like Kentucky Industries for the Blind. Contractors must provide a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit, with the amount determined by the contract value. The project involves handling potential hazardous materials and requires refrigerant recovery in compliance with environmental regulations. Though a precise budget is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the demolition services across nine properties suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The project documents indicate that successful bidders must have technical capabilities to manage complex demolition tasks, including careful removal of structures, utilities, and landscaping elements while maintaining environmental and safety standards. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in rural infrastructure demolition, utility coordination, and precise site restoration techniques.
