The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), Division of Right of Way and Utilities, issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for complete demolition services on two residential parcels in Kenton County, Kentucky, located in Covington along Hands Pike (KY 1501). Parcel 18 at 2 Crystal Lake Drive comprises a 2,000 square foot brick/frame bi-level residence with a 400 square foot concrete driveway and 200 square foot frame deck connected to public water and sewer systems; Parcel 23 at 1092 Hands Pike contains a 2,458 square foot two-story frame residence, 400 square foot detached frame garage, 300 linear foot asphalt driveway, cistern, and septic tank system. The scope of work includes removal and proper disposal of all buildings, fences, septic tanks, driveways, paved areas, and miscellaneous structures within right-of-way and easement areas, with the contractor responsible for all disposal costs at permitted sites, hazardous materials and refrigerant handling, septic tank pumping, site cleanup, grading, seeding, and rodent control in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Demolition will not commence until current tenants vacate, and the contractor must notify the district Property Management Agent at least 24 hours before filling basements or holes for inspection. Evaluation criteria are based on a "best value" approach with price as the sole measurable criterion (100 points), with award determined by the lowest lump sum total calculated as the amount due to the bidder minus the amount due to the state.

No onsite prebid meeting will be held, and prospective bidders must conduct their own property inspections prior to bid submission. Penalties of $400 per day will be assessed after 21 consecutive calendar days from receipt of work order if parcels are not cleared, and the Cabinet may cancel the entire contract after 28 calendar days.
