RFB110325 For License Operation of Stand-Alone ATM

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet, Division of Real Properties, is seeking a licensed operator for a stand-alone, wireless Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at General Butler State Resort Park in Carrollton, Kentucky. This Request for Bid (RFB 110325) solicits proposals from qualified financial institutions to install, operate, and maintain an ATM within the state park premises. The procurement requires the selected vendor to provide the ATM equipment at their own expense, with the Commonwealth providing only a 110-volt outlet. Bidders must submit a $100 bid deposit and propose a transaction fee per ATM use, with the potential to specify groups or affiliates exempt from charges. The bid is scheduled to open on November 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT, with a license period extending from the execution date through June 30, 2030, and options for five additional one-year renewals. Potential bidders are mandated to inspect the site prior to October 20, 2025, and have the opportunity to participate in a conference call on the bid opening date. The evaluation will focus on the lowest bid amount that provides the best value, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The solicitation requires bidders to be federally insured financial institutions and mandates specific insurance coverage, including $250,000 per person and $400,000 per accident in public liability insurance, as well as $1,000,000 in property damage coverage. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement does not provide details about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. While no explicit award value is specified, the bidder will generate revenue through transaction fees and be responsible for all installation and maintenance costs. The Commonwealth will provide minimal support beyond the electrical outlet, making this a primarily vendor-driven opportunity. Interested parties must carefully review the bid package, complete the submission checklist, and ensure all required documentation is included with their proposal. Contact for additional information is Kelly Hawkins, reachable at 502-229-4366, and online bidding is explicitly prohibited for this solicitation.
