FW-009-25- REBID - FW-007-25 - Camp Earl Wallace Dining Hall

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is seeking bids for the demolition and reconstruction of the Dining Hall at Camp Earl Wallace, located in Monticello, Spencer County. The project involves completely removing the existing Dining Hall and adjacent Bunk House and constructing a new facility that includes a spacious cafeteria, commercial kitchen, staff areas, an outdoor pavilion, and basement bunk rooms for camp employees. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by July 1, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with a mandatory site visit and pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Contractors are required to be registered in the Commonwealth eProcurement System at least 24-48 hours before the bid closing, and all documents must be combined into a single PDF. The project emphasizes sustainability and energy-efficient design, mandating adherence to local, state, and federal building codes. Technical questions should be directed to Jaron Richards from DECO Architects, while procurement inquiries should be addressed to Purchasing Agent Kyla Satterly.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bid does include specialized qualifications for roofing contractors. These requirements include a minimum of 5 years of specialized experience, certification as an installer for the specified roofing manufacturer, and the ability to provide project references within 24 hours of bidding. The roofing contractor's job superintendent must be a certified manufacturer installer and present on-site during all roofing work. Failure to submit updated bid documents will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. Project documents and specifications are available at no cost through the state of Kentucky plan room website (https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com), and bid results will be posted on the same platform after the opening and review process. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving complete demolition and reconstruction of a multi-functional dining and residential facility—suggests a significant capital investment by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
