The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Department for Facilities and Support Services Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, is seeking bids for the RFB-35-25 DOC KSP Shower House Renovation project located at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville. The procurement is a renovation project involving comprehensive upgrades to the facility's yard shower facility, which includes steel stud wall framing, installation of detention-grade doors and windows, painting, shower enclosures, dressing benches, plumbing fixtures, HVAC units, electrical lighting, and power systems. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 9, 2024, at 9:00 A.M. Central Time, with all interested contractors required to submit an NCIC background check form by August 1, 2024, to participate. The bid submission deadline is October 3, 2024, at 1:30 P.M. Eastern Time, with electronic submissions required through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system. Bidders must enter $0.00 for the contract amount in the system and submit the actual contract amount on the Official Bid Document as an attachment.

The solicitation encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), with a stated goal of 10% DBE participation, though no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the documents do not specify a precise budget range or contract value. Contractors must be registered in the Commonwealth's eProcurement system and will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The project will be managed by Marcum Engineering, with the Fund No. 527-CA2N, and requires contractors to have the capability to handle complex renovation work in a secure correctional facility environment. While specific budget details are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in upgrading the shower house facility's infrastructure, functionality, and overall condition.
