RFB-09-27 Parks New Water Service Fort Boonesborough

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Parks is requesting bids for construction of new water service infrastructure at Fort Boonesborough State Park in Richmond, under RFB-09-27, with bids due July 14, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

The scope comprises approximately 4,701 linear feet of new 8-inch water main extending from an existing Madison County Utilities connection point along Fort Boonesborough Road (KY 627) to the park entrance. Work includes jack and boring operations to cross the roadway without open cutting, installation of a transition vault at the property line to shift from public to private water infrastructure, and abandonment of the existing Winchester Utilities connection. Addendum One, issued July 8, permits HDPE DR9 pipe via directional drilling as an alternative to specified C900 pipe in existing cut areas such as driveways or crossings, provided contractors match pipe inside diameter rather than outside diameter where directional drilling is approved.

A mandatory site visit was held June 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the site (4375 Boonesboro Road, Richmond, Kentucky 40475). A public bid reading will occur via conference call at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
