Fall Creek Falls S. P. Renovation of Swimming Pools

The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation is seeking a qualified contractor to complete a comprehensive renovation of the swimming pools at Fall Creek Falls State Park, located in Bradley County. The project involves furnishing all necessary materials, equipment, supplies, and labor to renovate both the adult and wading pools, with specific requirements including demolition of existing pool components and installation of new equipment, piping, filtration systems, pool liners, diving boards, lighting, and deck coatings. Contractors must possess an active BC-B sm, BC-B, BC-C, or BC-26 Tennessee Building Contractor license and comply with state-approved International Building Code, Tennessee Department of Health Public Swimming Pool Rules, and other applicable standards. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2025, at 1 p.m. at the pool location, with bids due by April 22, 2025, through the state's electronic procurement system. The on-site work must be completed between contract signing and August 20, 2025, during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

The procurement opportunity includes specific requirements for contractor diversity and participation. Bidders must be registered in the Tennessee Edison purchasing system and provide documentation of sales and use tax registration and contractor licensing information. For bids over $100,000, a payment bond of 25% of the contract price is required, and contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. The state encourages diversity business participation and requires contractors to confirm they are not on the Iran Divestment Act list. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is expected to exceed $100,000, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all requirements. The successful contractor will be required to provide a one-year workmanship warranty and adhere to manufacturer warranties for materials. The State reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' notice and maintains significant discretion in contractor and subcontractor approval.
