FW-010-25 - CSI and Lakes & Streams Buildings

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is conducting a Request for Bid (RFB 660 2500000763) for a construction project located in Frankfort, Kentucky. The procurement seeks bidders to construct two new pre-engineered metal buildings: a CSI Building and a Lakes & Streams Building. The project scope includes demolishing an existing metal pole barn, performing site grading, and completing comprehensive site improvements. The new buildings will feature wood-framed office areas, mezzanine spaces, hollow metal doors, aluminum windows, garage doors, and specific interior finishes including sealed concrete floors, resilient wall base, paint, acoustical ceilings, and casework. Mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems will also be installed with new sanitary connections. Key procurement dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on 07/08/2025 at 10:30 AM, a technical question submission deadline of 07/11/2025 at noon, and bid submissions due by 07/23/2025 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Bidders must submit electronic bids through Kentucky's eProcurement system, with all documents combined into a single PDF attachment.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. Bidders are required to be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and will have the opportunity to attend a virtual bid reading via Microsoft Teams on the bid closing date. While specific budget ranges were not detailed, bidders are instructed to enter $0.00 for the contract amount in the e-procurement system and provide the actual contract amount on the Official Bid Document. Project documents are available at no cost through the state of Kentucky plan room website, and hard copies can be obtained from Lynn Imaging for a fee. The solicitation suggests the project is a new construction initiative, with no mention of incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration. Potential bidders should carefully review all distributed materials, including Addendum 1 and Addendum 2, which provide updates to the original bid package and specifications.
