Pool Furniture for Lake Cumberland

The Kentucky Department of Parks issued Request for Quote (RFQ) 670 2200000219 on May 27, 2022, seeking pool furniture and related equipment for Lake Cumberland State Resort Park located in Jamestown, Kentucky, within Elliott County jurisdiction. The procurement encompasses six line items totaling approximately 50 chaise lounges with white texture frames and navy blue accents, 24 matching strap dining chairs, 6 fiberglass 36-inch round outdoor tables with umbrella holes, 6 seven-and-a-half-foot Monterey market umbrellas with matte white frames and navy blue marine-grade acrylic fabric, 6 white aluminum umbrella bases, and freight delivery to the park facility. Vendors must submit sealed, hard-copy proposals by June 7, 2022, at 2:00 PM, with electronic submissions prohibited, and all quotes must include specific delivery timeframes expressed in working days rather than vague terms. The solicitation operates on an "all or nothing" basis, requiring vendors to quote all line items or face rejection as non-responsive, and pricing must be provided on an F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid and allowed basis, excluding federal excise tax and state sales tax. Evaluation will utilize a best value approach allocating 90 points to price and 10 points to delivery performance, with the lowest-priced bidder receiving maximum price points and other bids scored proportionally.

Kentucky resident bidders receive reciprocal preference consideration, while qualified entities including Kentucky Correctional Industries and nonprofit organizations serving individuals with disabilities receive additional preference points under set-aside designations. All proposals must include signed solicitation forms, completed quote information, required affidavits, and sufficient descriptive literature for any proposed equal or alternate products that deviate from specifications. Payment terms provide for settlement within 30 working days of invoice receipt and goods acceptance, with a one percent daily deduction from invoices for each day delivery extends beyond the contracted delivery date, incentivizing timely performance. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is specified in this solicitation, indicating a competitive open procurement. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the RFQ documentation, though the nature and quantity of furnishings and freight delivery suggest a moderate-value procurement typical of state park facility improvements.
