The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is soliciting bids for access area maintenance services across four state regions through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 32801-13612. The procurement covers comprehensive maintenance services for boat ramps, parking areas, and access roads, including litter removal (up to 20 times per year) and mowing (up to 16 times per year) for areas ranging from 0.10 to 5.0 acres. Contractors must be prepared to respond within 48 hours when contacted by the TWRA Administrator and may bid on single or multiple regions/groups. Key qualifications include providing all necessary equipment, labor, and materials, with specific requirements for proper waste disposal and adherence to established service standards. The bidding process will award contracts on a per-region/group basis to the lowest responsive bidder, with site visits strongly encouraged but not mandatory. The solicitation timeline includes mandatory site visits scheduled between May 19-22, 2025, with the response deadline set for May 23, 2025, and a final bid closing date of May 30, 2025 at 14:00:00 CDT. The contract includes provisions to encourage diversity business participation, specifically targeting minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and small businesses. Contractors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance. The contract term is initially set for 36 months, with potential extension up to 60 months, and does not guarantee a minimum purchase quantity. Bidders must complete tax registration documentation and comply with non-discrimination policies, submitting responses electronically through the Tennessee Edison Supplier Portal. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation covers 16 distinct line items with varying service units, suggesting potential for significant contract value across multiple regions. An interactive map (https://twra.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=99260b5ae08f4eb386946f08e1f18d3f) is provided to help bidders identify and review specific access area locations across Tennessee's four regions.
