NOTICE:  New Complete Streets, Roads, and Highways Training

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is excited to announce the development of the new Complete Streets, Roads, and Highways Manual. Historically, streets and highways were designed around motor vehicle traffic and did not always consider alternative modes of transportation. Today, our transportation planners and designers approach roadway development holistically, taking the needs of all users into account and construct facilities accordingly. 

To accompany the release of the manual, KYTC is offering a series of full-day workshop at locations across the commonwealth.  This workshop will be a requirement for prequalification for Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning and Design starting in January 2024.  Please visit KYTC's Complete Streets website (https://transportation.ky.gov/BikeWalk/Pages/Complete-Streets.aspx) to register for one of the sessions today!

NOTICE:  KYTC Executive Code of Ethics

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reminds its consultant and contractor partners of the restricted activities according to the Executive Code of Ethics as enacted in KRS 11A. Any Consultant shall abide by the following terms in order to maintain prequalification:

Any consultant certifies that the firm and its employees will not offer or provide gifts to KYTC employees in excess of $25.00 in any single calendar year as defined in KRS 11A.045 (1) and Department General Administration and Personnel Policy GAP-808. Moreover, any consultant certifies that firm and its employees will not offer any ticket to a sporting event to a KYTC employee without being reimbursed the face value amount for said ticket as defined in KRS 11A.045 (2). It is agreed and understood that non-compliance with the above provisions may result in the suspension of vendor procurement participation, contract termination, loss of prequalification, and/or debarment of the firm.

NOTICE:  2022 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 via the Consultant Portal by clicking the Consultant Management widget. Hard copy submittals are no longer received. 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. The request should include a Certification of Professional Liability Insurance, a Certificate of Workers Compensation, an Employment Insurance policy, and a Financial Statement. The firm must also upload an annual affidavit of the Campaign Finance form, linked below. The firm must also comply with an Ethics Certification which is not a form and does not require a document upload. These documents shall be uploaded for review by Professional Services staff and retained for compliance. The firm may be removed from the Cabinet's listing of prequalified consultants if an application is not received within thirty (30) days of its annual renewal date. Please contact Ashley Jewell via email with any prequalification submittal process inquiries at Ashley.Caldwell@ky.gov.
 
Please review the various links below for further details and reference:
 
The Division of Professional Services anticipates this document will remain until December 2023 when the next updates become available prior to the 2024 full renewal cycle.
