The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Corrections is seeking bids for RFB-241-25, a window replacement project at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women (KCIW) located in Pewee Valley, Morgan County. The procurement involves replacing 68 existing detention windows in the main building, which includes comprehensive removal of current windows, associated masonry, lintels, and flashing, and installing new detention windows with matching masonry and new steel lintels. The project requires precise installation, including repairing concrete wall panel edges and applying water repellent coating to replaced masonry areas. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through Kentucky's eProcurement Vendor Self Service (VSS) system by June 4, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time. A mandatory site visit was previously conducted on May 12, 2025, requiring participants to complete NCIC background and Central Registry checks before entry. Prospective bidders must register in the electronic procurement system and submit a combined PDF of their Official Bid Document and Bid Bond. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Project documents are available at no cost through the state of Kentucky plan room website, with hard copies obtainable from Lynn Imaging for interested parties. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the procurement appears to be a capital improvement project for a state correctional facility. The project contacts include architect Jean-Paul Grivas, Project Manager Tony Yates, Agency Representative Tony Waddell, and Purchasing Agent Susan Ward. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the window replacement suggests a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance and improvement. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability in detention facility window replacement, understanding of specialized installation requirements, and compliance with correctional facility construction standards.
