RFB-71-27 KHP Stalls & Mats New Comp Barn BP-2

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Engineering and Contract Administration is requesting bids on behalf of the Kentucky Horse Park for custom modular stalls and interlocking rubber mats installation across four barns (Barn A: 100 stalls; Barn B: 100 stalls; Barn J: 84 stalls; Barn K: 84 stalls) under RFB-71-27, with bids due September 23, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time and a mandatory site visit on September 11, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at 4089 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington, Kentucky.

The scope includes provision and installation of custom modular stalls and interlocking rubber mats at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. The base bid (BP-2) includes nine alternates. Addendum One clarifies that Alternate #1 includes 15 additional 12' x 10' stall mat kits, that total attic stock is required as specified in Section 1.4 rather than per barn, and that one stall mockup may be constructed as a permanent stall and remain in place after approval. Specifications identify four approved stall manufacturers; bidders may submit alternate manufacturers for architect and owner review, requiring approval before bidding authorization. The Kentucky Horse Park will be responsible for mucking and cleaning existing areas prior to mat installation in non-new construction barns.

The BP-2 General Contractor must coordinate with the BP-1 General Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion simultaneously, with BP-1 providing site access during construction.
