Construction
MSD's Procurement
Regulations and
KRS45A.345-45A.460 cover the procurement of construction. MSD has made the Procurement
Regulations available for download.
The method for procurement is by advertising for
bid. Bids are awarded to the responsible bidder who submits a responsive bid for the
lowest price or the lowest evaluated bid price.
After projects are designed,
MSD projects are constructed by one of the following methods:
- Capital Construction
Projects which are Advertised for Bid:
A list of contractors is maintained based on those expressing
interest. Project ready for construction are advertised on the MSD
website and contractors are notified of the projects by a courtesy
invitation of the advertisement. After sealed bids are received and
opened, they are evaluated for completeness and compliance with the
specifications, terms, and conditions contained in the invitation
for bid. A recommendation is then made to the MSD Board for award of
contracts valued over $50,000.00. Lesser amounts may be approved by
the Executive Director or others that he designates.
- Annual Construction
Projects for Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer Maintenance and Other
Construction Projects:
These projects are bid by a pre-qualified list of contractors. To be
eligible, a proposal qualification package must be completed and
submitted to MSD in advance or along with the bid. An MSD team
reviews completed packages. Once each calendar quarter, the team
recommends contractors to the MSD Board for approval. Once approved
by the Board, contractors sign a non-monetary contract with MSD. As
construction projects are identified for bid they are advertised on
the MSD website and approved contractors are notified that plans are
ready for bid. Submitted bid packages are evaluated for
cost-competitiveness and minority owned and women business
enterprise participation. Construction orders are then awarded
typically for amounts less than $250,000.00.
If you would like more
information or obtain a proposal qualification package, please see
