Henry Horton State Park Storefront Replacements UPDATED

The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) is seeking bids for a one-time purchase to replace storefront doors at the Henry Horton State Park visitor center and restaurant in Marion County. The project requires a licensed contractor to remove and replace existing sliding, bi-parting, and manual doors, including associated frames, windows, hardware, and electrical components. Contractors must possess a valid Tennessee BC-B(sm) or BC-6 contractor license or higher and will be responsible for measuring, installing, and ensuring compliance with state-approved building codes, ADA requirements, and manufacturer recommendations. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 16, 2024, at 10 a.m. CST, with bid responses due by October 31, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT. The work must be completed within 60 days of the purchase order issuance, weather permitting. Evaluation criteria will include contractor qualifications, past performance, and compliance with state requirements. Bids over $100,000 will require a 25% payment bond, and contractors must be registered with the Tennessee Department of Revenue for sales tax collection.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The state encourages diversity business enterprise participation but does not mandate specific quotas. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the solicitation materials. The estimated project value appears to exceed $100,000, though an exact budget range was not specified. Contractors will be paid 45 days upon completion and submission of a proper invoice, with TDEC reserving the right to reject any brands or models not pre-approved. Subcontractors are not permitted without advance written approval, and they must meet the same licensing, insurance, and qualification requirements as the primary contractor. Past performance will be a critical evaluation factor, and contractors with previous contract terminations for cause may be excluded from consideration. The project represents a singular, one-time purchase for storefront replacements at the state park facility.
