About this opportunity
The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS), a division of the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Tourism, Arts & Heritage agency, is requesting proposals for on-an-as-needed legal services with proposals due November 6, 2026 at 4:30 PM EST through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service System.
The scope includes general counsel, contract review and negotiation, litigation representation, compliance guidance, and board meeting attendance. Legal advice covers operations, employment matters, open records and meetings compliance, grant requirements, and representation in civil and administrative proceedings.
Bidders must hold active Kentucky Bar Association licensure. Professional liability insurance of at least $1 million per claim and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate are required. The cost proposal must cap hourly rates at $125 for partners, $100 for associates, and $125 for appellate work capped at $20,000 per case without prior approval.
The initial contract term runs from November 20, 2026 through June 30, 2028, with Commonwealth options to renew for up to two additional two-year periods subject to Secretary of Finance and Administration Cabinet approval and Legislative Research Commission Government Contract Review Committee review.
Technical proposals are scored on a maximum of 1,250 points across qualifications and legal experience (200 points), government and public agency experience (400 points), litigation and dispute resolution experience (200 points), availability and resources (300 points), and professional disclosures (150 points).
