The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department for Facilities and Support Services, is soliciting bids for the Willisburg Lake Dam Rehabilitation Project in Washington County. The project scope encompasses extensive civil engineering and construction work, including the installation of a reinforced concrete auxiliary spillway with precast concrete culverts, a stepped chute, and a stilling basin. Additional requirements include the construction of a reinforced concrete floodwall with a concrete cutoff along KY-555, the installation of a rockfill stability berm, and the replacement of low-level drawdown valves. The contractor will also be responsible for remediating concrete cracking and seepage in the principal spillway culvert, abandoning the City of Springfield's raw water intake, and installing new intake lines. General site work involves demolition of existing storm sewers and raw water lines, erosion control, traffic management, and site restoration. Bids must be submitted exclusively online via the Vendor Self Service system, with the official bid document and any required bid bond combined into a single PDF. The final deadline for submission is September 17, 2026, at 1:30 P.M. Eastern Time. A critical requirement for the project is a contractor-designed water diversion plan. The solicitation has undergone multiple modifications, with the latest version being Modification 7. Bidders are notified that domestic material requirements, such as Buy America or American Iron and Steel, do not apply to this project. The procurement process includes a public bid reading via conference call at 3:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the closing date.
