The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Department of Corrections and the Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, is seeking bids for a roof replacement project at the Kentucky Correctional Institute for Women (KCIW) in Pewee Valley. The Request for Bid (RFB-268-25) involves comprehensive roof replacement for two buildings: the Main Kitchen and the Connector Building. For the Main Kitchen, contractors must remove the existing shingle roof and install a new standing seam metal panel roof system with new gutters and downspouts. The Connector Building requires complete removal of a ballasted EPDM membrane roof and installation of a new insulated 2-ply modified bituminous roof system across four distinct areas. A mandatory site visit was conducted on 06/17/2025, with participants required to complete NCIC background and Central Registry checks by 06/11/2025. The bid submission deadline is 07/29/2025 at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with electronic submissions required through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system. All bidders must be registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and submit a combined PDF of the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to be registered in the Commonwealth eProcurement System and must submit bid documents electronically, with no postal, hand-delivered, or emailed bids accepted. Acceptable roofing system manufacturers include Johns Manville, Soprema, Siplast, and Firestone Building Products. The warranty for the roofing system has been reduced from 30 to 20 years, as noted in Addendum Two. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the bid requires contractors to enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the e-procurement system, with the actual contract amount to be submitted on the Official Bid Document.
