RFB-151-25 Campground Improvements Kenlake State Park

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Department for Facilities and Support Services, Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, is seeking bids for a comprehensive campground renovation project at Kenlake State Park located in Benton, Kentucky. The Request for Bid (RFB-151-25) encompasses a complete renovation of the existing campground, with detailed specifications for demolition and new construction. Key deliverables include constructing a new 2,000-square-foot bathhouse, two 179-square-foot restroom buildings, six cabins, new asphalt drives, camping spurs, and living areas. The project also involves extensive utility upgrades, including water, sanitary, and electrical hookups, installation of new lift stations, and sewer force mains. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through Kentucky's eProcurement system by January 10, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory site visit previously conducted on December 2, 2024, at 1:00 PM CT. All bidders are required to register in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) System, which takes 24-48 hours to process, and must enter $0.00 for the Contract Amount in the e-procurement system, with the actual bid amount submitted on a separate Official Bid Document.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 270 calendar days, as noted in Addendum No. One. While no incumbent vendors were mentioned, the existing campground infrastructure includes a control building, portions of existing drives, a playground, and numerous trees that will remain in place. The project involves complex technical specifications, including electrical system upgrades, medium voltage cable installations, pad-mounted transformers, and WiFi infrastructure conduit work. Multiple addendums have been issued modifying technical specifications, including changes to ceramic tiling, electrical system details, and utility drawings. No specific budget range or award value was directly stated in the procurement documents, though the extensive scope suggests a significant capital investment for the campground improvements.
