NOTICE:  Project Managers Bootcamp Xpress
 
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Mission is "to provide a safe, efficient, environmentally sound and fiscally responsible transportation system that delivers economic opportunity and enhances the quality of life in Kentucky." As part of its continuing efforts to improve its project delivery success rate and execute its mission, KYTC has partnered with the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) to develop and deliver Project Manager's Boot Camp XPress training. KYTC requires that all consultant project managers who will be assigned project management duties for a project-specific contract on behalf of the Cabinet to have attended Xpress or be enrolled in the next available offering.
 
We have not scheduled the next offering of Xpress. However, we encourage you to contact Candice Wallace (Candice.Wallace@uky.edu) at KTC to have your name added to the waitlist. People on the waitlist are guaranteed a seat in the next training. Candice will contact all people on the waitlist once the next offering of Xpress is scheduled so they can formally register for the training.
 
To date, over 200 students have attended XPress. Not only has it been strongly endorsed by Cabinet leadership, attendees from the consultant community have enthusiastically praised the course. We look forward to you joining us at the next XPress!

​NOTICE:  March Bulletin Responses - UPDATE

To help protect our community from the spread of COVID-19, Governor Beshear has issued Executive Orders for Kentuckians to stay home and limit in-person contact. These orders have directed state agencies to take proper health precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of Government Offices to the public. As a result of the continued protective orders issued by Governor and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the Division of Professional Services has created a file hosting service account to allow consultants to directly upload their March Bulletin Responses online.
 
Prequalified consultant engineering firms desiring to provide these services may submit their response to any project via the file hosting upload link here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/xEiVNoGLpOxrhp6G557x
 
Firms desiring to provide hard copy responses may submit six (6) copies of their response via traditional mail delivery, FedEx / UPS, or by hand-carrying a response to the first floor reception desk. Any firm that hand-delivers a response should call the Division of Professional Services at 502.564.4555 to confirm delivery and receipt.

NOTICE:  2020 Prequalification Criteria and Instructions Update
 
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted revisions to the Prequalification Criteria and Instructions document, which serves as the basis for determining minimum eligibility of firms within each service category. Each firm that desires to retain prequalifications or become prequalified with the Cabinet in any new service area must submit a full prequalification application prior to response to advertisement. These prequalifications are to be submitted electronically rather than via hard copy as in the past. The website to visit to submit prequalifications is https://apps.transportation.ky.gov/professionalservices.
 
Each firm must submit an updated Prequalification Application (TC 40-1 form) for review prior to the firm's annual renewal date. It is the sole responsibility of the firm to initiate a renewal of its prequalification with the Cabinet. If the firm makes no effort within thirty (30) days of its annual renewal date, then the firm is automatically removed from the Cabinet's listing of prequalified consultants. The request should include a Certification of Professional Liability Insurance, a Certificate of Workers Compensation, an Employment Insurance policy, and a Financial Statement. These documents shall be uploaded for review by Professional Services staff and retained for compliance.
 
Please review the links below for further details and information:
 
The Division of Professional Services anticipates this document will remain until December 2021 when the next updates become available prior to the 2022 full renewal cycle.
