RFP-794 A/E Architect KYTC Clay Co. District Office

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), is seeking proposals from qualified architectural and engineering firms to provide professional design services for the replacement of the existing KYTC District Office and Materials Laboratory in Clay County, Kentucky. The scope of work includes Phase A-C design services, with the goal of completing construction by December 2024. The project has a budget of $12 million. Proposals are due by April 21, 2023, and the selection process will involve a short-list with interviews. The RFP outlines requirements for the consultant team composition, registration and qualifications, proposal submittal instructions, and the selection criteria. The selection will be based on a numerical rating system, with the highest-scoring firm being selected for contract negotiations.

The RFP encourages the utilization of minority-owned design professional firms and provides information on certifications and assistance programs. However, it does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP also does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The funding for this project is through state transportation funds, but the RFP does not specify a possible award value or budget range.
