Precast Fascia Work

The City of Murfreesboro Water Resources Department has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-18-2021) for precast fascia work at its facility located at 2032 Blanton Drive in Rutherford County, Tennessee. The procurement seeks a contractor to remove existing aggregate stone fascia from multiple buildings (Buildings #6, #7, #9, #10, and #11), install new lathing, secure new brick, match existing brick and mortar, remove waste materials, install veneer ties, and perform a final cleaning of new masonry. The total linear footage of work spans 735 linear feet across five buildings, with specific measurements for each building ranging from 110 to 240 linear feet. Bidders are required to provide their own scaffolding and necessary equipment, with the project to be completed within 30 days of the purchase order issuance. The bid was issued on March 18, 2021, with a bid opening date of April 5, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing effective for one year from the bid award date. A site visit is preferred before bid submission, though not mandatory.

Contractors must be licensed as required by Tennessee law, with specific requirements for projects over $25,000. Bidders are required to have comprehensive general liability insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000, along with automotive and workers' compensation insurance policies. The solicitation emphasizes strict compliance with Tennessee Code Annotated Title 62, Chapter 6, Part 1, requiring detailed licensing information including license number, expiration date, and classification for prime and specialized subcontractors. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, contractors must provide precise licensing details for masonry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and geothermal work. Failure to meet documentation requirements will result in bid disqualification. The project will be performed during normal business hours, with the City providing a construction dumpster and temporary protection of surrounding areas. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a project scope that would likely fall within a mid-range municipal infrastructure improvement budget.
