The procurement seeks qualified contractors to remove and properly dispose of buildings, fences, septic tanks, driveways, paved areas, conduits, and miscellaneous structures, including sign posts and bases, irrigation systems, security lights, and spotlights from the designated parcels, with all electrical disconnections to be completed prior to work commencement.

The tentative award date is August 21, 2024, and this is a one-time contract with no renewal options. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with consideration given to past vendor performance as a potential disqualifying factor for poor performance within the previous 12 months. Contractors must complete all work within 14 days of receiving work orders, with penalties of $500 per day for delays and potential contract cancellation after 21 calendar days.

Bidders must comply with federal Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations and Buy America/Build America (BABA) Act requirements, as the project is funded through the Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief program. Contractors are required to submit a notarized Annual Affidavit for Bidders, Offerors, and Contractors attesting to compliance with Kentucky campaign finance laws, maintain general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Kentucky workers' compensation insurance with certificates of authority submitted within ten days of award, and provide a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the contract or $10,000, whichever is greater. All work must comply with Kentucky 811 underground facility damage prevention requirements with a valid confirmation number, and contractors must provide documentation including refrigerant recovery records, septic tank pumping receipts, house moving permits if applicable, and evidence of seeding for disturbed areas. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified in the solicitation documents, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation; however, bidders must calculate and submit a total lump sum amount indicating whether the amount is due to the bidder or due to the state.
