Demolition Svc Warren Co P. 07, 08, 10, 13, 23, 28

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) 605 26000000207 for demolition services in Warren County, specifically targeting six parcels along US 31 in Bowling Green. The project requires the removal and disposal of various structures, including metal signs, brick and stone columns, and entrance columns ranging from 5 to 50 square feet across Parcels 007, 008, 010, 013, 023, and 028. Bidders must provide a comprehensive lump sum total for removing all designated improvements, with specific requirements including de-energizing electrical components and proper disposal of removed structures. Online bids will be accepted exclusively through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) system, with a submission deadline of 1:30 PM Eastern Time on November 20, 2025. No mandatory pre-bid meeting is required, but prospective bidders must independently inspect the parcels and investigate site conditions prior to submission. The anticipated contract award date is November 26, 2025, with a requirement that work commence within five days of contract award and be completed within 45 consecutive calendar days to avoid daily penalties of $500.

The procurement includes federal funding through the Federal Highway Administration, which subjects the contract to several compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations, Buy America/Build America Act provisions, and federal contract standards outlined in FHWA-1273. While a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal is established at 0%, contractors must meet specific insurance and bonding requirements, including a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit for the contract amount or $10,000, whichever is greater. General liability insurance must be maintained at $1,000,000 per occurrence, and Kentucky workers' compensation insurance is mandatory. Contractors must submit insurance certificates within ten days of award notice. All bidders are required to provide pricing for each parcel, with the bid structured to capture both the amount due from the bidder and the amount due to the state. Failure to include pricing for all parcels will result in bid rejection, and contractors must perform at least 30 percent of the work with their own organization, excluding specialty items.
