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

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS), is soliciting competitive bids for RFB-245-25, a re-advertisement of RFB-95-25, to expand the Leitchfield Campus of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College. 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. Construction specifications include loadbearing CMU and structural steel construction, spray foam insulation, brick and metal wall panels, and a 2-ply SBS roofing system. Mechanical systems will feature water source heat pumps, boilers, a fluid cooler, and a dedicated outside air unit. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time at 101 E Carroll Gibson Blvd in Leitchfield, Kentucky, with electronic bids due on June 4, 2025, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system. Bidders must be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and submit all documentation electronically, with no hard copy or email submissions accepted.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be required to enter $0.00 for the contract amount in the e-procurement system and provide the actual contract amount on the Official Bid Document. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the documents, the comprehensive project involves significant construction and infrastructure development. The project represents a substantial investment in expanding educational facilities for technical and health science programs in Grant County, Kentucky. Contractors will need to comply with detailed technical specifications outlined in multiple addenda, which include value engineering modifications to reduce project costs and complexity. The bid documents indicate a thorough review process, with three addenda issued that modify original specifications, including changes to landscape design, structural elements, mechanical systems, and overall project scope. All project documents and specifications are available at no charge through the state of Kentucky plan room website, with a public bid reading scheduled via conference call on the bid opening date.
