The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Division of Engineering & Contract Administration is requesting bids for the provision and installation of custom modular stalls and interlocking rubber mats at the Kentucky Horse Park under RFB-71-27, with bids due October 1, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time and a mandatory site visit on September 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

The base bid scope covers four barns: Barn A (100 stalls), Barn B (100 stalls), Barn J (84 stalls), and Barn K (84 stalls), with nine alternate line items. Stall frames must be powder-coated 14-gauge 2-inch square galvanized tubing with 1-inch grillwork spaced 3 inches on center and light gray HDPE panels. Powder-coat color will be selected by the architect and owner post-award. Stall manufacturers are restricted to specified approved suppliers, though alternate manufacturers may submit resumes and portfolios for architect and owner review during the bidding period. Installation contractors must demonstrate capability to install modular equine stall systems in accordance with manufacturer requirements and coordinate with the manufacturer during installation; the prior requirement for five years documented equine stall system experience has been removed to broaden the bidder pool. Bidders must submit a completed subcontractor list identifying parties responsible for interlocking rubber stall mats, equine stall systems fabrication, and equine equipment installation, with all subcontractors subject to approval.

The selected contractor must coordinate with the concurrent BP-1 General Contractor to ensure both bid packages achieve Substantial Completion simultaneously within 175 calendar days from the executed contract date. Substantial Completion is the critical performance milestone specified.

All bids must be submitted exclusively through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system at https://vss.ky.gov; postal, courier, and hand-delivered submissions are prohibited. Bidders must register in the Vendor Self Service system 24 to 48 hours before submission and must combine the Official Bid Document and any required Bid Bond as a single PDF attachment.
