This is Amendment #1 to Invitation to Bid (ITB) #32701-14001 issued by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for the renovation of two residences at Fall Creek Falls State Park. The amendment updates the ITB schedule and clarifies requirements through responses to bidder questions. The pre-response conference is scheduled for September 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CT, with questions and comments due by September 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT. Bids are due September 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT. The project involves comprehensive interior renovation of Residence 1, including electrical systems, plumbing, insulation, drywall, cabinetry, and flooring, as well as exterior work on Residence 2 including carport enclosure, siding, roofing, deck construction, and drainage installation. All work must comply with 2021 IBC Building Code standards and be completed by March 19, 2027.

The amendment clarifies two critical contractor licensing requirements: the State will not accept BC-A classification and will not permit unlicensed subcontractors regardless of work value thresholds. All contractors and subcontractors must maintain active Tennessee Building Contractor licenses (BC-b, BC-B, BC-C or higher) and submit copies prior to bid submission. The amendment replaces the previous Scope of Work document with a revised version effective September 8, 2026. Pricing must be submitted as a firm fixed price for complete renovation work on both residences, with a $3,000 allowance for unforeseen wood repairs on Residence 1. The contractor is responsible for all permits, fees, utility protection, site cleanup, and damage repairs. Work is limited to Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., unless otherwise approved. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty on workmanship from final inspection, with materials covered under manufacturer warranties. Invoices must be submitted within ten days of project completion and acceptance.
