RFB-245-25 Re-Ad of RFB-95-25 KCTCS Expand Leitchfield Campu

The Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS) is seeking bids for the expansion of the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Leitchfield campus through a Request for Bid (RFB-245-25) located in Grant County. The project involves constructing a new 16,733 square foot single-story building west of the current campus facility, which will house Industrial Maintenance Labs, Nursing and Health Science Labs, classrooms, and an administrative suite. The construction will utilize loadbearing CMU and structural steel on reinforced concrete foundations, with exterior walls featuring spray foam insulation, brick, and metal wall panels. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by May 30, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory site visit previously held on May 6, 2025, at 101 E Carroll Gibson Blvd in Leitchfield, Kentucky. All bidders are required to be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and must submit all documents electronically as a single PDF, with a public bid reading scheduled via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete comprehensive documentation, including an Official Bid Document and Bid Bond, and enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the e-procurement system while submitting the actual contract amount on the official bid document. The project underwent value engineering modifications outlined in Addendum One, which included eliminating exterior canopies, reducing roof insulation, removing LEED requirements, and simplifying various architectural and engineering specifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project represents a significant infrastructure investment for expanding educational facilities in the Leitchfield campus. The solicitation is a re-advertisement of a previous bid (RFB-95-25), suggesting the project has been refined to attract more competitive bidding. The technical specifications indicate a comprehensive building project with sophisticated mechanical, electrical, and structural components designed to enhance the educational infrastructure of the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
