Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service eProcurement system by January 3, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, with a tentative award date of January 10, 2024. Evaluation is conducted on a best value basis with price representing 100 percent of the evaluation criteria, with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder receiving award.

The contractor must comply with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations, including hazardous waste disposal requirements and refrigerant evacuation and recovery documentation, and must obtain appropriate permits for any house moving activities. Asbestos-containing material (ACM) assessments have been completed for all three parcels with results and certificates of compliance dated October 2023, indicating that abatement work may be required prior to demolition activities. Performance and payment bonds are required in the greater of the contract amount or $10,000 for amounts paid to the vendor, and $10,000 for amounts paid to the state, with irrevocable letters of credit accepted only up to $20,000. The contractor must maintain contractor's general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and current Kentucky workers' compensation insurance. No specific budget range or award value is stated in the solicitation documents; however, bidders must submit actual lump sum pricing for all three parcels combined on the provided bid sheet, with the contract representing a one-time award with no renewal options specified.
