RFB FOR FLUID COOLER AND DELIVERY - Addendum

The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is seeking bids for a one-time purchase and delivery of a fluid cooler for the Kentucky Court of Justice (KCOJ) to be installed at the Hardin County Justice Center in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The detailed specifications require a closed-circuit cooling tower with stainless steel wetted parts, a water distribution system, a spray pump, heat exchanger coils, and a control panel that complies with various industry standards and regulations. The awarded vendor must provide a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor, as well as a five-year warranty on key components. Bids are due by 3:30 PM Eastern Time on December 5, 2022, and the AOC anticipates awarding the contract and executing the agreement by December 16, 2022, with delivery required within six months of contract execution. The AOC will evaluate bids based on price (75 points) and delivery time (25 points) to determine the best value.

The RFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are also no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the document does not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The funding source is not explicitly stated, but the AOC is a state government agency. The RFB does not provide an award value or budget range, but bidders must submit a total price for the fluid cooler and delivery.
