Call 016 CN263040

The solicitation CN263040 issued by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) seeks construction services for a federal-aid highway project within Davidson, Smith, Sumner, and Trousdale counties in Tennessee, with performance dictated by the 2026 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Supplemental Specifications, Special Provisions, and Contract Plans. The work requires full compliance with federal regulations including the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wage reporting via WH-347 forms, the Buy America Act for domestic material certification, and the Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements under Executive Order 11246 and CFR Title 41, with specific obligations to meet Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals under 49 CFR Part 26. Contractors must perform at least 30% of the total contract value using their own workforce, obtain prior written approval for any subcontracting, and maintain a competent superintendent with full authority over project execution. All materials must be traceable to U.S. manufacturing, accompanied by certification of compliance with BABA, and subject to inspection at the project site by TDOT or federal representatives. Submission of proposals is exclusively through the Bid Express electronic portal by May 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, with failure to include mandatory documentation resulting in rejection. Contractors are required to certify they are not debarred, suspended, or ineligible under 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200, and must disclose any criminal convictions related to fraud or federal tax delinquencies; negative responses trigger mandatory explanatory submissions. Affirmative disclosure is only required if non-federal funds were used for lobbying, in which case Standard Form SF-LLL must be submitted. While the solicitation references extensive federal compliance frameworks—including 23 CFR Part 635, 29 CFR Part 5, and 42 U.S.C. 12101—it does not specify contract type, pricing line items, contract value, payment offices, invoicing systems, or formal evaluation factors. The absence of a Section B pricing table, Section M evaluation criteria, and Section G administrative data suggests critical financial and award determination details are either omitted or maintained in separate, unprovided documents. Attachments A and B outline preferences for Appalachian Development Highway System employment and U.S.-manufactured products respectively. No military packaging standards or barcoding requirements are referenced; instead, marking obligations
