Rebid Mat & Mop Service District 9

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Division of Purchases has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for mat and mop service for District 9, covering maintenance facilities and section offices across multiple eastern Kentucky counties including Bell, Bath, Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, Nicholas, and Rowan. The procurement seeks bi-weekly mat and towel services for 21 different locations, with specific requirements for various mat sizes and types such as black scraper mats and gray nylon/rubber mats. The solicitation requires electronic bid submission through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service system, with bids due by July 3, 2025, at 1:30 pm and a tentative award date of June 30, 2025. The initial contract period will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with options for four additional one-year renewal periods. Evaluation will use a best value ranking approach, allocating 95 points to pricing and 5 points to delivery time, with vendors required to bid on all lines to be considered for award.

The procurement includes preferences for Kentucky resident bidders and qualified vendors such as Kentucky Industries for the Blind and nonprofit organizations serving individuals with severe disabilities. Bidders must meet specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in general liability coverage and Kentucky workers' compensation insurance. Pricing will be firm for the first 12 months, with potential price adjustments in subsequent years based on documented industry-wide changes. Vendors must submit bids electronically and complete all required fields in the Kentucky Vendor Self Service system, with a maximum attachment size of 65000 KB and a 1500-character limit for comments. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the service covering multiple counties suggests a significant procurement opportunity for mat and mop service providers operating in eastern Kentucky.
