RFP#2025-14 McFee Park Prefabricated Public Restoom

The Town of Farragut, located in Knox County, Tennessee, is soliciting proposals for RFP#2025-14 to procure a prefabricated public restroom facility for McFee Park, a 51-acre site funded through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Local Parks & Recreation Fund. The procurement seeks pricing for two potential restroom structures: a one-bathroom and a two-bathroom option, with the town ultimately selecting a single structure based on price and design considerations. Proposers must submit a comprehensive proposal package, including one original and four paper copies, an electronic USB copy, and a 5% bid bond, with the proposal due on March 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The evaluation will follow a 100-point technical scoring system, allocating points for project scope understanding, contractor experience, cost, and qualifications. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held via Microsoft Teams on March 4, 2025, at 3:30 PM, with a proposer questions deadline of March 13, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The project timeline anticipates proposal evaluation on March 25, 2025, intent to award and contract negotiations beginning March 26, 2025, and final Board of Mayor and Alderman approval by April 10, 2025.

Contractors must comply with various federal and state regulations, including equal employment opportunity, drug-free workplace policies, immigration laws, and anti-lobbying standards. The project involves Treasury ARP SLFRF financial assistance, requiring adherence to all applicable federal laws, regulations, and Treasury policies. Proposers must submit multiple certifications, including Iran Divestment, Non-Boycott of Israel, Debarment and Suspension, Non-Discriminatory Assurance, and Owners Ethnicity and Gender Statement. At this stage, Public Restroom Company from Minden, Nevada, appears to be the sole vendor under consideration, with a Notice of Consideration to Award already issued. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project is part of a larger park enhancement initiative, with the restroom facility designed to meet 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The contractor will be responsible for complete installation, including site preparation, utility connections, and ensuring compliance with local building codes and accessibility requirements, with the facility's exterior finish intended to closely match the existing Great Lawn restroom building design.
