The procurement seeks complete demolition and removal of three residential properties located on Cranston Road in Morehead, Kentucky: Parcel 123 at 3720 Cranston Road (840 square foot single-wide mobile home with underpinning and porch); Parcel 164 at 4845 Cranston Road (1,064 square foot vinyl ranch residence with full basement, attached garage, concrete structures, and two sheds totaling 283 square feet); and Parcel 174 at 4985 Cranston Road (906 square foot single-wide mobile home with porches, debris, underpinning, and septic system). Bidders must submit a single lump sum price covering all three parcels combined and must include pricing for removal of buildings, utilities, driveways, paved areas, septic tanks, and miscellaneous structures, along with proper disposal, hazardous materials management, septic pumping by licensed service, refrigerant recovery, and site restoration including seeding, mulching, and baseline filling. All work must comply with Davis-Bacon wage rates and federal Buy America/Build America Act provisions. Bidders must independently inspect the properties as no mandatory prebid meeting will be held. The deadline for written questions is April 1, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., with Commonwealth responses due by April 2, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., and bid closing on April 11, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The tentative award date is April 18, 2025, and electronic bidding through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service portal is mandatory.

The project is federally funded through the Federal Highway Administration under STP 5237 (005) and carries a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal, meaning no specific set-aside percentage is established for DBE participation, though DBEs may participate and compete on equal terms. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Bidders must provide a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the contract or $10,000, whichever is greater, and maintain $1,000,000 in general liability insurance coverage along with Kentucky workers' compensation insurance. All contractors must comply with federal, state, and local environmental, safety, and labor regulations throughout project execution. The contract will be awarded as a one-time award with no renewal options. Bid pricing information is not disclosed in the available documentation, and bidders must determine whether costs will result in "Amount Due Bidder" or "Amount Due State" depending on whether demolition costs exceed salvage values.
