RFB-75-25 LLCC Perimeter Fence Improvements

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, specifically the Department for Facilities and Support Services Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, is seeking bids for the RFB-75-25 LLCC Perimeter Fence Improvements project located at the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in LaGrange, Morgan County. The procurement involves installing approximately 2,254 linear feet of new 10-foot tall security fencing with razor wire around the western portion of the secure perimeter, including two 20-foot wide by 15-foot tall vehicular slide gates at the main entrance and two 5-foot tall by 18-foot wide slide gates at the box security checkpoint. The project also requires electrical work involving power and control wiring for new gates and a wireless intercom system. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, and bids must be submitted electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by October 15, 2024, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with bidders required to be registered in the Commonwealth's eProcurement system and provide an Official Bid Document with detailed pricing.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the procurement documents. The documentation does not mention incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure beyond the current correctional complex systems. The project includes an allowance of $65,000.00 for a new shaker wire system, and bidders must provide an Infinity 2020 system sensor cable with associated components and accessories. While precise budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the fencing and electrical work suggests a significant capital investment. Vendors must submit all required documentation, including the Official Bid Document and potentially a Bid Bond, as a single combined attachment through the eProcurement system. The funding for the project will be provided by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the security infrastructure of the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex.
