Meeman Shelby S. P. Camp Building Repairs

The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for comprehensive repairs to the Peirsol group cabins A, B, C, and D at Meeman Shelby Forest State Park, located in Shelby County. The project encompasses extensive renovation work including replacing siding, roofing, walkways, ADA ramps, and lighting for the four group cabins. Contractors must possess an active Tennessee Building Contractor license (BC, BC-B, BC-b sm, or BC-C) and be prepared to complete all work between receipt of the signed purchase order and December 31, 2025. A pre-bid site visit is scheduled for September 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the park's office, though attendance is not mandatory. The solicitation will use a lowest-cost selection method, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Bid submissions are due by September 30, 2025, and all bidders must be registered with the State of Tennessee Supplier Portal. The project requires detailed compliance with specifications, including using specific materials like James Hardie fiber cement siding and meeting ADA compliance standards.

Bidders must comply with several state requirements, including potential diversity business enterprise participation provisions. All bids exceeding $100,000 must include a payment bond for 25% of the contract price. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability with specified minimum coverage amounts. The state reserves the right to negotiate with respondents and may request revised cost proposals. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes non-discrimination policies and encourages diverse business participation. The total project cost is expected to exceed $100,000, with the contract to be a one-time, twelve-month purchase. Contractors will be required to warrant their workmanship for at least one year and comply with various state and federal regulatory requirements. The project will be managed through the Tennessee Edison purchasing system, with regional contacts available for project oversight and management.
