RFB-125-24 DOC NTC Demo of Boiler House

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department of Corrections, Division of Engineering & Contract Administration, is soliciting bids for the complete demolition, removal, and disposal of an existing boiler house structure at the Northpoint Training Center located at 710 Walter Reed Road, Burgin, Kentucky. The project involves demolition of an approximately 7,500 square-foot boiler house with a total volume of approximately 194,000 cubic feet, including removal of hazardous materials limited to asbestos-containing materials found in window sealants, backer rods, and coatings on existing water lines identified through laboratory analysis as containing 15% chrysotile asbestos. The scope of work has been expanded through subsequent addenda to include cutting off and capping two existing water lines (one containing asbestos-based coating requiring removal or encapsulation in concrete, and one cast-iron line that may be removed or left in place at the contractor's discretion) and capping or plugging the existing sanitary sewer line at a manhole approximately 50 to 60 feet from the boiler building, with the contractor responsible for proper site restoration including 12 inches of clean fill material and grading to follow natural contours with proper drainage. The original mandatory site visit meeting was held on November 29, 2023, at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time, and the final bid submission deadline is January 4, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Owner's Document Collaboration System (eCommunications) via MOVEit file transfer to the Bush Building, 403 Wapping Street, 1st Floor, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601, with online bidding prohibited and no late bids accepted. Contractors must identify their firm's position as prime bidder, miscellaneous subcontractor, material supplier, or other entity, and all bid forms must be completely filled out upon submission.
