The Commonwealth of Kentucky has issued Request for Bid (RFB-268-25) for a roof replacement project at the Kentucky Correctional Institute for Women (KCIW) located in Pewee Valley, Montgomery County. The procurement involves comprehensive roof replacement for two specific buildings: the Main Kitchen and the Connector Building. For the Main Kitchen, the project requires complete shingle roof removal and installation of a standing seam metal panel roof system, while the Connector Building demands full removal of an existing ballasted EPDM membrane roof and installation of a new insulated 2-ply mod-bit roof system. Electronic bid submission is mandatory through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with all bidders required to be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) System. Key procurement dates include a mandatory site visit on 06/17/2025 at 1:00 AM, with NCIC background and Central Registry checks required by 06/11/2025, and bid submissions due on 06/26/2025 at 13:30. Bid documents and specifications are available at no cost through the State of Kentucky Plan Room, and a public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time.

The solicitation does not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete mandatory background checks and be registered in the VSS System, which may impose some preliminary qualification requirements. The project involves the Department of Corrections, specifically the Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, with project architectural support from Patrick D. Murphy Company Inc. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive roof replacement for two significant institutional buildings suggests a substantial project investment. Electronic bidding is the only acceptable submission method, with no email or hard copy submissions permitted. Potential bidders must carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with registration, background check, and submission requirements to be considered for the contract.
