RFB-191-25 HVAC Replacement Radcliff Veterans Home

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive HVAC Replacement - Phase I project at the Radcliff Veterans Home, located at 100 Veterans Drive in Radcliff, Hardin County. The Request for Bid (RFB-191-25) seeks a qualified contractor to replace the existing Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) HVAC system with a new 4-pipe Fan Coil Unit system in Neighborhoods 200 and 300. The project scope includes removing and replacing existing HVAC equipment and controls, installing a new chilled and hot water plant, hydronic piping, ductwork connections, HVAC controls, and supporting electrical and plumbing work. A mandatory site visit was conducted on February 19, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, and the final bid submission deadline is March 20, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with all bidders required to be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system. A public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time, and project documents are available at no cost through the state of Kentucky plan room website.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in the procurement documents. The project does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no details are provided about integration with existing infrastructure or technology beyond the current HVAC system replacement. While the exact budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates that bidders must enter $0.00 for the Contract Amount in the e-procurement system, with the actual contract amount to be submitted on the "Official Bid Document" as an attachment. Key project contacts include Kris Schnitgen from KLH Engineers (architect), Greg Schenck (project manager), Jeremiah Apple (agency representative), and Susan Ward (purchasing agent). The project appears to be fully funded by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Veterans Affairs, with the work to be performed in a facility that will be vacant during construction, allowing for comprehensive HVAC system replacement and associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades.
