RFB-198-25 CHFS-CSH - Upgrade/Replace Access Control System

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services is soliciting bids for RFB-198-25, a project to upgrade and replace the access control system at Central State Hospital in Louisville, specifically targeting Buildings 201, 202, and 209/209A. The procurement involves comprehensive system upgrades, including removing existing access control components and installing new infrastructure such as card readers, electric door strikes, door contact sensors, magnetic door locks, push button access controls, and associated hardware systems. The project is located in Elliott County and focuses on enhancing security and access management for patient and support units within the hospital complex. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through Kentucky's eProcurement system by March 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for March 13, 2025, at 11:30 AM ET at 10510 LaGrange Road, Louisville. All bid documents, including the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond, must be combined as a single PDF and uploaded to the system, with contractors required to enter $0.00 as the Contract Amount in the e-procurement platform.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications for access control system upgrades. Bidders can access project plans and specifications at no cost through the state plan room website (stateofkyplanroom.com), with the option to purchase hard copies if desired. The project does not specify incumbent vendors or existing contractors, but requires integration with the current infrastructure of Central State Hospital's patient and support units. No specific budget range is provided in the documentation, though the comprehensive nature of the access control system replacement suggests a significant investment in hospital security infrastructure. Prospective bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise in access control systems, hospital security installations, and compliance with state procurement guidelines to be considered for the contract.
