RFB-54-26 Facilities Exterior Lighting Improvements KSP Pst4

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Kentucky State Police (KSP), is seeking bids for a Facilities Exterior Lighting Improvements project at Post 4 located in Elizabethtown, Hardin County. This Request for Bid (RFB-54-26) requires vendors to provide and install exterior lighting systems featuring full cutoff LED area lights with automatic photocell controls and dusk-to-dawn operation. The project mandates compliance with multiple regulatory standards, including Kentucky Building Code, Americans with Disabilities Act, International Building Code, and National Electrical Code. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by September 17, 2025, at 13:30, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 9:00 AM at 954 Cameron Ponder Drive, Elizabethtown, KY. Electronic submissions must include a combined PDF of the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond, with vendors required to be pre-registered in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with key project contacts including consultant Grant Wilson, project manager Brian Cottongim, agency representative Lt. Jason Brown, and purchasing agent Janis Wilhoite.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bid documents and specifications are available at no cost through the state of Kentucky plan room website, with no indication of incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. While the document specifies a $0.00 contract amount in the eProcurement system, this likely represents a procedural requirement rather than the actual project budget. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate electrical contracting capabilities, familiarity with state and federal building codes, and expertise in LED lighting installation. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests that qualified electrical contractors with experience in government facility improvements will be most competitive. Bidders must ensure full compliance with all technical specifications and regulatory standards outlined in the solicitation documents, with the ultimate goal of implementing a modern, efficient exterior lighting system for the Kentucky State Police Post 4 facility.
