Demolition Svc McCracken Co P. 403, 108 & 418

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Division of Purchases has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for demolition services in McCracken County, specifically targeting three properties located in Paducah. The project involves complete demolition of three residential properties: a 1,269 sq ft vinyl-sided house at 3350 N. Friendship Road, a 1,713 sq ft brick house with attached carport and detached garage at 2465 Olivet Church Road, and a 1,646 sq ft brick house with attached garage at 5530 Old Hwy 60 W. The scope of work requires total removal of all improvements, including concrete and asphalt driveways, outbuilding slabs, and walks, with strict instructions to preserve existing manhole covers. Bidders must submit proposals for all three parcels to be considered, with bids due electronically through Kentucky's eProcurement system by December 27, 2024, at 1:30 PM EST. Written questions from potential bidders are due by December 12, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST, with a tentative award date of December 30, 2024. Contractors are expected to begin work within 7 days of award and complete the project within 21 calendar days of receiving the work order, with penalties of $500 per day assessed for delays.

The procurement is federally funded by the Federal Highway Administration and subject to Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements. While there is a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, contractors must comply with Buy America provisions and provide a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the contract or $10,000, whichever is greater. Contractors will be required to submit a $10,000 performance bond for amounts paid to the State. The project is part of a larger highway extension project to extend KY 1286 from KY 998 to US 60 (Friendship Road), involving right-of-way acquisition and roadway improvements, including a proposed roundabout at the intersection of Friendship Road with KY 998 and Old U.S. 60. The specific properties are located in a mixed residential and commercial area, with GPS coordinates provided for each parcel. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive documentation suggests a structured procurement process with clear technical and administrative requirements for potential bidders.
