DCNR - Prefab Bath Houses & Restrooms

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is seeking qualified vendors to provide prefabricated bathhouses and restroom buildings for use in Alabama state parks through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement involves nine different building models (A-I) ranging from 4-unit family-style bathhouses to single vault-style restrooms, with specifications including water heater configurations, utility connections, and site-specific installation requirements. Proposers must demonstrate at least 5 years of experience in building and manufacturing tiny cabins and mobile homes, with evaluation criteria weighted as follows: Past Performance (20%), Floor Plans (30%), Ancillary Services (10%), and Cost (40%). Key deadlines include a mandatory virtual pre-proposal meeting on November 19, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST, with questions due by November 26, 2024, and proposals due by December 9, 2024, at 12:00 PM Central Time. The contract term is two years with options to extend for a third, fourth, and fifth year, subject to early termination provisions and DCNR's discretion.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. DCNR reserves the right to award multiple contracts to multiple proposers and is not obligated to select the lowest-priced proposal if a higher-priced option is deemed most advantageous. Proposers must submit detailed pricing for each model, including base price per location, HVAC system options, and volume discounts for multiple unit orders (1-3 and 3-6 units per location). Some models include options for laundry conversion at additional cost, with installation planned for 21 potential state park locations throughout Alabama. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the RFP requires comprehensive pricing details for nine different building models, suggesting a potentially significant procurement value. The site contractor must be an Alabama licensed General Contractor, and all park installation sites are confirmed to be accessible by delivery trucks and cranes, with the state preparing pad and utility stub-ups according to manufacturer specifications.
