RFP-82-25 kastow tank package k monroe, clinton & cumberland

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department for Energy and Environment, Division of Oil and Gas, is issuing Request for Proposal (RFP) RFP-82-25 for the Kentucky Abandoned Storage Tank and Orphan Well Reclamation Program (KASTOW) Package K, with procurement activities managed by Metcalfe County. This construction services procurement seeks competitive proposals for the reclamation of four abandoned storage tank facilities located in Monroe, Clinton, and Cumberland Counties, Kentucky. The scope of work includes removal and proper disposal of all abandoned surface storage tanks, removal or proper abandonment of associated flow lines, removal of contaminated soil to a depth of up to three feet, elimination of berms and dikes, site reclamation implementing best management practices, disposal of oil or brine-contaminated soils and liquids, final grading, and sampling and testing as needed. Contractors must complete all work within 180 days of contract award, with completion anticipated by late April 2025. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a 70-point technical scoring matrix addressing prime and subcontractor experience (2 points), project history (5 points), equipment capability (6 points), work plan completeness (6 points), past performance with the Division of Oil and Gas (6 points), and total project cost (45 points). Proposals must be submitted by September 27, 2024, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with inquiries directed to Kristi Sharp at 502-330-9858. Contractors are highly encouraged to visit all tank sites prior to submitting bids to assess tank and material removal procedures, site remediation requirements, and reclamation criteria.

The RFP documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. All interested vendors meeting the technical and financial qualifications are eligible to respond, though successful bidders must furnish a 100% Performance Bond and separate 100% Payment Bond within five calendar days of award, along with a bid guarantee of not less than 5 percent of the total base bid. The contract is established on a firm-fixed price basis with unit costs for additional contaminated soil removal specified as a per-ton rate and TENORM (Technologically Enhanced Radioactive Material) disposal costs reimbursable at actual cost plus 10% administrative costs. The specific total award value is not disclosed in the RFP documentation, though the firm-fixed price structure and reimbursable cost provisions indicate a project of substantial scope. Winning bidders will be liable for Kentucky sales and use tax, as the Commonwealth is not tax-exempt. The Commonwealth reserves the right to delete individual tank sites from the project scope and adjust the contract price accordingly, as well as to reject all proposals and negotiate with the top-ranked vendor or proceed sequentially to lower-ranked vendors if agreement cannot be reached.
