NOTICE:
Information for Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) continue to evaluate and update the plans for consultant services for assistance with the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor progressive design-build project. ODOT will be the lead agency and will manage the selection process with support and input from KYTC.
The Bi-State Management Team (BSMT) has made the decision to select 2 Cost Estimators as part of the January 17, 2023 Programmatic Selection Group - 2 selections with 1 posting.
Each Cost Estimator will develop independent cost estimates for the Project at the same milestones as the Progressive Design-Build Team (DBT). The purpose of the first Cost Estimator's involvement in the Project will be to validate the cost(s) and production proposals submitted by the DBT at each pricing milestone (Independent Cost Estimator (ICE)). The function of the second Cost Estimator is to develop a state Engineer's estimate prior to final pricing agreement in accordance with ORC 5517.01 (State Cost Estimator (SCE)).
The anticipated fee for both the State Cost Estimator (SCE) and the Independent Cost Estimator (ICE) agreements is $6.0 million each.
The Anticipated Scope for the ICE is the following: Post design-build award, assist owners with development of a benchmark for evaluating the reasonableness of the contractor's proposed cost or price. The ICE will provide independent quantity take-offs and attend quantity reconciliation meetings with SCE, BSMT and Contractor to ensure quantities are accurate, and risks are assessed at the proper level.
The Anticipated Scope for the SCE is the following: Post design-build award, assist owners with development of a benchmark for evaluating the reasonableness of the contractor's proposed cost or price. The SCE will attend quantity reconciliation meetings with ICE, BSMT and Contractor to ensure quantities are accurate and will provide independent quantity cost estimates to develop the state Engineer's estimate.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has issued this Draft Request for Proposal (draft RFP) to solicit feedback from potential proposers who intend to respond to the final RFP for Kentucky’s Electric Vehicle Charging Program. The final RFP will solicit proposals for the planning, deployment, operation and maintenance of Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Stations (EVSE Stations) throughout Kentucky at locations across the Commonwealth. This draft RFP and its contents are subject to change prior to the issuance of the final RFP.
The purpose of this draft RFP comment period is to:
- Solicit feedback from potential proposers on the selection method and process, and
- Allow Potential Proposers to begin the process of coordinating with relevant stakeholders such as utilities, site hosts, EVSE suppliers, local contractors and others.
Organizations who wish to submit comments should provide one response only per entity and should not submit proposals or marketing materials as part of their responses. Potential proposers should also refrain from asking questions that relate specifically to their respective proposals. Rather, they should instead focus on reviewing the draft RFP and providing detailed comments to specific sections. Comments must be submitted using the Draft RFP Comment Form (Attachment 3). Comments shall be submitted to EVPlan@ky.gov no later than January 27, 2023.
KYTC will evaluate comments and make any necessary changes upon release of the final RFP, which is anticipated to be released in February 2023.
The final RFP will outline the process by which proposers can submit proposals for one or more EVSE projects at proposed sites (candidate sites). KYTC will then evaluate the proposals based on established evaluation criteria, and award grants to select proposers for select sites.
Thank you for your consideration of the draft RFP and your support of Kentucky’s Electric Vehicle Charging Program. The Draft RFP may be accessed via the following link: EV Charging Program - Draft RFP |
