Bleacher Replacement for Northfield & Black Fox Elementary

The City of Murfreesboro is conducting a competitive procurement (ITB-49-2022) for bleacher replacement at two elementary schools: Northfield and Black Fox Elementary. The project requires complete removal of existing bleachers and installation of new motorized telescopic bleachers with specific technical requirements, including one bank of 83'-86' divided into 3-4 sections, six rows of seating with 24" spacing, 10" rise, 5/8" Panelam decking, and contoured seats. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on March 25, 2022, with electronic bid submissions required via ProcureNow by April 4, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. Contractors must comply with comprehensive requirements, including criminal background checks for school employees, Tennessee contractor licensing, and Murfreesboro City Schools' policies. Evaluation criteria will include price, contractor qualifications, compliance with specifications, and past performance, with the city reserving the right to reject any bids.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000, automotive, and workers' compensation policies. The contract term is set for 90 days from the Notice to Proceed, with the city preferring project completion by July 30, 2022. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, bidders must submit comprehensive pricing that includes all services, parts, labor, accessories, freight, and standard equipment. Subcontractors must be disclosed, and the total project cost will be evaluated across both elementary school locations. The city makes no guarantee of contract award, with the final selection based on a holistic assessment of the submitted proposals.
