KDFWR - Wilgreen Courtesy Dock/Kayak Launch

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) for the construction and delivery of an aluminum courtesy dock and kayak launch to be installed at Wilgreen Lake in Madison County, Kentucky. The solicitation seeks bids for two 20'x8' aluminum floating docks, one 20'x8' aluminum kayak launch, two 10" aluminum boat tie-up cleats, and a 40' gangway with ADA handrails. The awarded bidder must deliver all items within 120 calendar days of contract issuance, with KDFWR responsible for the onsite installation. Bids will be evaluated based on a best value criteria, with 90% of the score allocated to price, 5% to delivery time, and 5% to warranty period. Vendors' written questions are due by July 27, 2023, and the bid closing date is August 10, 2023 at 12:00 pm Eastern Time.

The RFB indicates that Kentucky reciprocal preference laws will apply, potentially benefiting Kentucky resident bidders and qualified bidders, which include nonprofit organizations that further the purposes of KRS Chapter 163 or meet the criteria to be considered a "Qualified nonprofit agency for individuals with severe disabilities." The contract will be a one-time purchase award, and KDFWR reserves the right to contract for larger requirements through a separate solicitation. No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided in the documents, and the total project budget is not specified.
