Demolition Svc Warren Co P. 4, 7, 19 & 24

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB 605 2600000022) for demolition services in Warren County, specifically targeting four parcels located on U.S. 31W Bypass in Bowling Green. The project requires a comprehensive demolition service that includes complete removal of improvements such as a one-story brick commercial building, commercial signs, and a personal electric metal light pole, along with their foundations, utilities, and associated infrastructure. Contractors must perform total site restoration, including utility disconnection, debris disposal, and ground-level site preparation with seeding of disturbed areas. The solicitation requires online bidding through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service system, with electronic bids due by August 13, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, and an anticipated award date of August 20, 2025. The project has a strict 45-consecutive calendar day completion timeline after work order issuance, with a penalty of $500 per day for delays. Evaluation will be conducted using a best value approach, with 100% of points allocated to pricing, and the bid requires submission of a performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit.

The project has a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, though contractors must still comply with federal DBE guidelines. The solicitation is federally funded, subjecting bidders to specific regulatory requirements including Davis-Bacon wage rates, Buy America provisions, and compliance with federal transportation infrastructure regulations. Contractors must carry general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and meet Kentucky worker's compensation insurance requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves multiple commercial property demolitions, suggesting a significant infrastructure investment. Bidders must be prepared to handle complex urban demolition in a controlled environment, with precise site restoration requirements and potential environmental considerations. The project appears to be part of a broader highway improvement initiative, indicating potential future opportunities for contractors who successfully complete this demolition service.
