The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet issued a Request for Bid (RFB 758 2000000254) on October 21, 2019, on behalf of the Kentucky Parks Department to procure golf course chemicals for use at multiple state parks and golf courses throughout Kentucky. The solicitation seeks bids for three line items: Legacy (1 unit of 2.5 gallon containers), Cutless MEC (18 units of 2.5 gallon containers), and Seclear Algaecide (5 units of 2.5 gallon containers), all classified as insecticides and fungicides in liquid form. The Cutless MEC product requires split shipments to eight designated Kentucky state parks and golf courses—Barren River State Resort Park, Kentucky Dam Village State Park, Grayson Lake State Park, General Burnside State Park, Lincoln Homestead State Park, My Old Kentucky Home State Park, Pine Mountain State Resort Park, and Yatesville Lake State Park—with varying quantities per location, while Seclear Algaecide must be delivered to Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park. All quotations must be submitted on an FOB Destination Freight Prepaid and Allowed basis, with the vendor assuming full responsibility for shipment and freight charges. The award will be determined using a best value ranking approach based on total cost offer (900 points) and delivery offer valued in calendar days (100 points), with delivery performance subject to one percent daily deductions from invoices for failure to meet contracted delivery dates. Vendor questions were due by October 28, 2019, at 4:30 PM ET, and bids closed on November 6, 2019, at 1:30 PM ET, with submissions required electronically.
