406 Haynes Drive Rehab- Bathrooms, Waterlines, and Exterior Painting

The City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in Rutherford County, is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB-38-2026) for rehabilitation work at 406 Haynes Drive, a single-story ranch home constructed in 1970. The project encompasses bathroom renovations, waterline replacement, and exterior painting, with specific deliverables including abatement of lead-based paint on exterior soffit and fascia; replacement of two lead-containing mini blinds; removal and abatement of lead-containing floor tile in two bathrooms; installation of new fiberglass shower units (a standard tub/shower in bathroom #1 and a low-step shower in bathroom #2); replacement of water lines in the crawl space and walls; installation of laminate flooring in both bathrooms; drywall repair; and interior painting. All work must be completed within 45 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, and the contractor must provide a one-year warranty from the date of the Certificate of Completion and Final Inspection. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov procurement portal as a lump-sum price no later than Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with public opening conducted via Zoom. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the project site. Questions must be submitted by May 5, 2026, five business days before the bid opening. Contractors with bids of $25,000 or above must hold a valid Tennessee contractor's license. Employees performing lead abatement must be certified by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and a clearance letter from AAT Environmental Services is required prior to final payment. The home will remain occupied during construction, and utilities must be restored daily.

The project is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) federal funds, which incorporates applicable federal compliance requirements including Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, mandating prioritization of employment and contracting opportunities for lower-income area residents. The City of Murfreesboro is exempt from sales tax and will provide a tax exemption certificate to the awarded contractor. Liquidated damages of one percent of the total contract value per day will be assessed for work not completed within the 45-day timeframe. Progress payments will not exceed 55 percent of the contract amount after 60 percent of work completion, with final payment upon City acceptance. Change orders exceeding $10,000 require Mayor and Council approval, while those under $10,000 may be approved by the City Manager. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, as the contract amount will be determined based on the contractor's sealed bid response. The contract is governed by Tennessee law with venue in Rutherford County courts.
