RFB-202-25 Re-Ad of RFB-38-25 CHFS WSNF Renovation

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, is seeking bids for a comprehensive renovation project at the Western State Hospital Nursing Facility in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The Request for Bid (RFB-202-25) involves extensive HVAC system improvements for Buildings 30 and 31, with an alternate option for Building 32. The project scope includes complex mechanical and infrastructure upgrades such as excavation, asphalt repairs, ceiling system replacements, sprinkler modifications, and installation of new mechanical and electrical systems. Required trades encompass demolition, concrete work, drywall, painting, fire protection, mechanical systems, ductwork, electrical work, and fire alarm services. A mandatory site visit was conducted on March 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time, and electronic bids are due on April 23, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time through Kentucky's eProcurement system. Bidders must register in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and submit all questions by April 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM Central Time. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The project will require integration with the existing Andover front end system by Comfort Systems USA, particularly for the Controls System. Specific manufacturer requirements include approved condensing boiler manufacturers such as Aerco, Fulton, Laars, Lochinvar, and RBI. The renovation will include provisions for a factory-authorized service representative to train the owner's maintenance personnel on boiler operation and maintenance. Project documents can be obtained at no charge from the state's plan room website (https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com), with technical support available through Lynn Imaging. While no specific budget range was provided, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in modernizing the Western State Hospital Nursing Facility's infrastructure and mechanical systems.
