Teaberry Road Repairs

Carter County, Tennessee is soliciting proposals for the Teaberry Road Repairs project, a FEMA disaster recovery initiative (DR-4832-TN) focusing on comprehensive road infrastructure rehabilitation. The Request for Proposal (RFP) involves repairing six sites along Teaberry Road, with specific requirements including installing riprap, crushed run aggregate, geotextile fabric, and restoring roadway base. The project mandates a mandatory pre-bid meeting on November 6th, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with proposals due on November 12th, 2025, at 10:30 AM. Contractors must complete the project within 120 days, with an additional 20-day allowance for inclement weather, not exceeding 140 days total. Proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, scoring based on repair plan quality (25 points), performance ability (25 points), available resources (15 points), past performance (15 points), and pricing (20 points). Respondents must submit detailed documentation including staff resumes, organizational charts, references, and evidence of extensive road repair experience.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires substantial insurance coverage as a qualification barrier, including $2,000,000 in general liability, $1,000,000 in workers' compensation, $1,000,000 in auto insurance, and $2,000,000 in errors and omissions insurance. The project is federally funded through FEMA, which mandates compliance with federal procurement regulations covering lobbying, equal employment, and workplace standards. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, contractors must demonstrate significant technical and operational capabilities to manage complex road repair projects. The RFP suggests a substantial project budget, though an exact value is not specified. Interested contractors must carefully review federal procurement guidelines and demonstrate comprehensive understanding of disaster recovery road reconstruction techniques to be competitive in the bidding process.
