RFB-161-25 DJJ-Boyd Facility Upgrades Ashland, Kentucky

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Juvenile Justice is seeking bids for facility upgrades at the Boyd Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Ashland, Kentucky through Request for Bid (RFB-161-25). The procurement involves comprehensive renovations to a previously converted cell block, which will be returned to active detention use with multiple specific requirements. Project deliverables include installing a new CMU partition wall, renovating an existing shower area to meet ADA compliance standards, separating a double cell into two individual cells, and implementing new security plumbing fixtures and LED lighting. A mandatory site visit was originally scheduled for January 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET, located at 2420 Roberts Dr., Ashland, KY. Electronic bids must be submitted through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with multiple addenda adjusting the final bid submission deadline to February 7, 2025, at 1:30 PM. Bidders are required to register in the Commonwealth eProcurement System via the Vendor Self Service (VSS) System, with registration taking 24-48 hours to complete. Technical specifications mandate specific compatibility with the existing Nexus I-CON water management system, including precise valve models and installation requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The project requires contractors to integrate new equipment with the existing water management infrastructure, specifically using I-CON compatible components including flush valves (model 100290), lavatory valves (model 102824), and shower valves (model 100229). Electrical and plumbing contractors must work collaboratively, with the plumbing contractor supplying 24V control power transformers and the electrical contractor managing final power and communications connections using existing CAT3 cabling. The existing controller locations are specified between specific room zones, controlling solenoid valves for designated cell blocks. While no precise budget range was provided, the solicitation suggests a significant renovation project involving multiple technical systems and substantial facility modifications. Bidders must submit all documentation electronically, with the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond to be combined as a single PDF attachment in the procurement system.
