BHJC Dormitory Interior Painting Project

The Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks Job Corps Center is soliciting bids for a subcontracting opportunity to perform interior painting at its dormitory located in Memphis, Tennessee. The scope of work involves providing all labor, materials, and equipment to prepare and paint approximately 72 rooms, 8 hallways, and 6 restroom/shower areas across floors F and M. Key deliverables include comprehensive surface preparation, the application of premium commercial-grade interior paint, and the submission of warranties and a signed punch list upon completion. All work must adhere to the National Electrical Code and NFPA Standard No. 101 Life Safety Code, with final acceptance contingent upon the areas being cleaned and ready for student occupancy. Bids must be submitted by December 5, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. to Judy Bush. Required documentation includes a completed bid sheet with a detailed cost breakdown, a proposed project schedule, Tennessee licensing, a W-9, a Vendor Acknowledgement Form, and certificates of insurance. The winning bidder must possess a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and an active SAM.gov registration. Selection is not based solely on the lowest bid, as ETR serves as the sole judge for the award. Depending on the project value, bonding requirements range from a 100% payment bond for projects over $35,000 to both performance and payment bonds for projects exceeding $150,000. The contract is subject to several FAR clauses, including the Service Contract Act and Anti-Lobbying Certification.
