All project information, specifications, and drawings are available at no cost through the Kentucky Plan Room at https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com. Contractors obtaining plans from other sources will not be registered as planholders and will not receive addenda.

The site visit is mandatory at 3830 Abner Mountain Road, Pike County. A public bid reading will occur via conference call on the bid opening date at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
