RFB-117-26 Parks Yatesville Lake Marina Replacement

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Department of Parks and Division of Engineering & Contract Administration, is seeking a comprehensive marina replacement project at Yatesville Lake State Park in Louisa, Kentucky. The procurement, designated as RFB-117-26, involves a full replacement of the marina facility, including replacing all walkways, frames, and floats with concrete panel surfacing, replacing the head dock building, and replacing Docks A through E with covered slips. The project requires replacing all water-side utilities, installing a new fuel tank and fuel line system, and maintaining existing landside utilities. Contractors must implement a staging plan that allows all boats to remain in the water throughout construction. The solicitation requires mandatory electronic submission through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with bidders required to register in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system at https://vss.ky.gov prior to submission. A mandatory site visit meeting is scheduled for November 4, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. at 2762 Highway 1185, Louisa, Kentucky, and the bid closing date is December 5, 2025, at 1:30 P.M. Eastern Time. A public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 P.M. Eastern Time.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Bidders must submit the Official Bid Document and any required Bid Bond as a single PDF attachment and enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the eProcurement system. Plans and specifications are available at no charge through https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com, with contractors obtaining documents from other sources not being registered as planholders and thus not receiving addenda. The project includes detailed technical specifications for dock anchoring systems, structural modifications to accommodate snow loading, and telecommunications infrastructure, including fiber optic backbone, Cat6 cabling, telephone service, and security camera systems. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the marina replacement suggests a significant investment in infrastructure upgrades. Key project contacts include Consultant Roderick Saylor from GRW Engineers Inc., Project Manager David Trautwein from the Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, Agency Representative Tony Durham from the Department of Parks, and Purchasing Agent Susan Ward, who can be reached at (502) 226-0335 or Susan.Ward@ky.gov for any procurement-related inquiries.
