Perimeter Road Pavement - Lansing

The Kansas Department of Administration, Office of Procurement and Contracts is seeking a qualified contractor to complete the Perimeter Road Pavement Project at the Lansing Correctional Facility. The procurement is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for milling and overlaying the facility's exterior perimeter road, involving approximately 10,800 square yards of asphalt installation at a minimum depth of 5 inches (3" base and 2" surface) with a 24-foot finished road width. Key deliverables include supply and installation of four manhole risers, transitional grading at four locations, and tack oil application, with project completion required before November 15, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with bid submissions due by May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including Immigration Reform certification, Sexual Harassment Policy compliance, Boycott of Israel certification, and a Tax Clearance Certificate. The contract will be awarded as a lump sum with no price adjustments for asphalt, and requires a minimum one-year warranty for both workmanship and materials.

The procurement opportunity includes several set-aside provisions and preferential considerations, specifically encouraging participation from disabled veteran-owned and certified businesses. Bidders must be officially invited to participate and are required to attend the mandatory pre-proposal conference, with failure to do so resulting in automatic bid rejection. The state emphasizes compliance with immigration reform laws and encourages contractors to take steps to discourage human trafficking. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project appears to be a significant infrastructure improvement contract for Lincoln County. The bid is entirely tax-exempt, with a tax exemption certificate to be provided upon award. Submission methods include electronic submission to Procurement@ks.gov or hand delivery to the specified address, with bids to be publicly read via teleconference. Contractors should note that XML bid submissions will not be accepted, and all documentation must strictly adhere to the provided specifications.
