The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Division of Purchases is soliciting bids for demolition services in Rowan County, Kentucky, on behalf of the Division of Right of Way and Utilities for the KY 377 project. This Request for Bid (RFB 605 25000000032) seeks the complete removal and proper disposal of buildings, structures, septic tanks, driveways, paved areas, and miscellaneous encumbrances from six designated parcels (11, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 23) located along Cranston Road in Morehead, Kentucky. The scope includes demolition of residential structures ranging from 912 to 2,736 square feet, outbuildings, sheds, barns, and associated site features, with all debris properly disposed of at permitted waste facilities and documentation provided upon completion. Bidders must submit sealed bids electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service website (https://vss.ky.gov) by August 19, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, with written questions due by August 8, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. Award is anticipated for August 26, 2024, with work to commence within seven days of award and completion required within 67 calendar days from receipt of the work order. Prospective bidders are required to inspect the properties at their own expense; no mandatory prebid meeting will be held, though interested parties may contact Brooke Lytle at (502) 782-7550 for directions. Evaluation criteria prioritize price as the sole measurable criterion (100 points), with the lowest bidder receiving maximum points and subsequent bidders scored proportionally. Bidders must provide pricing for each parcel indicating either "Amount Due Bidder" or "Amount Due State," with the net result determining payment direction, and must submit pricing on an attached bid sheet with all work phases included in the cost.

Reciprocal preference applies to Kentucky resident bidders, and qualified bidders including Kentucky Correctional Industries and nonprofit agencies serving individuals with severe disabilities receive additional scoring preferences. Contractors must comply with Kentucky 811 underground facility notification requirements, obtain all necessary utility disconnections before beginning work, and meet federal requirements including Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations and Buy America/Build America Act requirements, which mandate that all steel, iron, aluminum, and construction materials be manufactured and produced in the United States. The contract requires a performance bond equal to the amount paid to the vendor or $10,000 (whichever is greater), general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Kentucky workers' compensation insurance. All bidders, offerors, and contractors must complete and submit an Annual Affidavit for Bidders, Offerors and Contractors attesting under penalty of perjury that they have not knowingly violated Kentucky's campaign finance laws and that the contract award will not violate any such provisions. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be funded through Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief funds, with award value determined by submitted bids for the complete demolition services across all six parcels.
