Demolition Svc Hopkins Co Parcel 9 and 18

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases, on behalf of the Division of Right of Way and Utilities, is soliciting bids for complete demolition services on two parcels in Hopkins County, Kentucky. The procurement is a Request for Bids (RFB 605 26000000447) with a closing deadline of April 1, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time and a tentative award date of April 13, 2026. Parcel 9, located at 875 Hanson Street in Madisonville, consists of a 1,611 square foot wood building with two attached sheds and partial block foundation requiring complete removal and disposal, with electric service retirement prior to demolition and allowance for gravel to remain in place. Parcel 18, located at 991 North Main Street in Madisonville, is a 792 square foot one-story dwelling with composite siding, block foundation, covered front porch, concrete sidewalk with steps, and asphalt parking pad that must be completely removed and disposed of, with both electric and sewer service retirement required prior to demolition. Bidders must submit separate pricing for each parcel in lump sum format through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service portal with electronic submission only; failure to include amounts for both parcels will result in bid rejection. The evaluation criterion is price alone, with the lowest responsive bidder receiving contract award. Prospective bidders are required to conduct onsite inspections and investigate property conditions prior to submitting bids, though no mandatory prebid meeting will be held. All work phases, including utilities disconnection coordination, debris removal, site cleanup, seeding of disturbed areas, and compliance with Kentucky 811 underground facility damage prevention procedures, must be included in the bid price.

The contract carries no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, with a 0% DBE participation goal established for the project. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations for Hopkins County, Kentucky, and adhere to Buy America and Build America (BABA) Act requirements. Bidders are required to submit a performance bond in the amount of the contract or $10,000, whichever is greater (or $10,000 for amounts paid to the state), along with general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Kentucky worker's compensation insurance. The project is funded through Federal Highway Administration sources under the STP 5046 (014) federal funding program and is subject to comprehensive federal compliance requirements, including FHWA Form 1273 provisions covering nondiscrimination, equal employment opportunity, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act compliance, OSHA safety standards, and environmental regulations including asbestos and hazardous materials protocols. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the procurement documents; bidders will determine pricing based on their cost analysis of demolition requirements, with compensation potentially flowing either to the selected bidder or to the state depending on the bid amount differential.
