PWLSP Lift Station Repair-UPDATED

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is soliciting bids for a one-time contract to repair and replace lift station equipment at Pickwick Landing State Park in Hardeman County. The project involves comprehensive renovation of three waste lift stations, including demolishing existing pumps, wiring, and controls, and installing new components such as check valves, pump seal gaskets, guide rails, pumps, float controls, and operation switches. A critical aspect of the project is installing a new 200 Amp three-phase 208 pole service at the campground lift station, which requires replacing existing pump controls and electrical infrastructure. Contractors must possess a valid Tennessee CE contractor license to be eligible. The project has a defined timeline, with all work to be completed between contract award and December 1, 2024. A pre-bid site visit was held on August 28, 2024, and the final bid responses were due by September 17, 2024 at 2:30 PM CDT. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation based on cost and compliance with specifications.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents, though the solicitation encourages diversity business participation and requires bidders to complete a diversity utilization plan. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the documents do not indicate any specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure beyond the specified lift station equipment. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation includes provisions for a payment bond of 25% of the contract price if the total contract value exceeds $100,000. Bidders are required to be registered in the State of Tennessee Edison purchasing system and must provide documentation of Tennessee sales and use tax registration. Subcontractors, if used, must be approved by the Central Procurement Office. The contract is structured with two line items: one for labor and another for materials, allowing for flexible pricing and detailed cost breakdown. The State of Tennessee will be the funding source for this one-time purchase project.
