A government authority in Manchester, Kentucky is seeking a qualified contractor to provide construction services for a new single-story materials laboratory building. The project site features subsurface mine or roadway spoils, and the building will utilize a mat foundation system for support.

The facility will be constructed with load-bearing masonry walls, steel beams, and a metal roof deck. The exterior will include brick veneer or metal panels with proper insulation. Interior spaces will feature metal stud partitions finished with gypsum board and batt insulation. The roof design calls for a standing seam metal system, while interior finishes will consist of gypsum, epoxy flooring, ceramic wall tile, and acoustical ceiling tile. Contractors with experience in similar laboratory construction projects are encouraged to participate.
