Booker T. Washington S. P. Repairs on 5 Buildings - UPDATED

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is seeking bids for repairs on five buildings at Booker T. Washington State Park in Chattanooga, Hamilton County. The project involves comprehensive repairs across multiple facilities including the Group Lodge Dining Hall, Group Camp Dining Hall, Shelter 1-B, Point Restroom, and Restroom 2. Specific repair scope includes relocating warmers, updating restrooms, painting, sealing flooring, and repairing gutters and drainage systems. Bidders must possess an active Tennessee Building Contractor license (BC-B sm, BC-B, or BC-C) and submit bids through the Tennessee EDISON Supplier Portal. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for January 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST at the park's Visitor Center located at 5801 Champion Road, Chattanooga. Written questions are due by January 22, 2026, with bid responses due January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. All work must be completed between contract execution and May 1, 2026.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be registered with the State of Tennessee Supplier Portal and comply with Tennessee Code Annotated requirements, including sales and use tax registration and federal debarment compliance. Contractors are required to submit a payment bond equal to 25 percent of the maximum contract liability, which suggests the project value exceeds $100,000. All subcontractors must be identified in the bid, and the primary contractor assumes full responsibility for their work. Bidders must provide current sales and use tax registration documentation and confirm compliance with the Iran Divestment Act. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-cost respondent meeting all requirements, with the State reserving the right to conduct clarifications and negotiations with responsive and responsible bidders.
