The Tennessee Department of Transportation issued Solicitation CN263061 for road and bridge construction work in Humphreys County, Tennessee, with a posted date and response deadline of August 14, 2026. The contract requires full execution of construction activities in strict compliance with the 2026 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, supplemental specifications, special provisions, and contract plans, which establish a clear hierarchy of authority with special provisions taking precedence over all other documents. Performance is limited to the specified location in Humphreys County, and all work must meet federal and state regulatory standards including the Clean Water Act, Tennessee Code Annotated, and FEMA floodplain requirements. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and tools, while also implementing and maintaining erosion and sediment control measures certified by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Compliance with the NPDES Notice of Intent is mandatory within ten days of award, and failure to do so can result in forfeiture of the bid bond. Formal acceptance occurs through administrative sign-off by TDOT and TDEC upon issuance of a Notice of Termination for stormwater compliance. The contract imposes several unique and strict requirements beyond standard construction mandates. Contractors are prohibited from using telecommunications or video surveillance equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, or Hikvision under Section 889 of the NDAA 2019, and costs associated with such equipment are unallowable. Employment of illegal immigrants is strictly forbidden, requiring semi-annual attestations and I-9 record retention, with violations leading to a one-year state debarment. Bids deemed unbalanced may be subject to payment restrictions, limiting progress payments to documented costs plus 20% until 85% completion. Contractors must also comply with the Affordable Care Act, maintain general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence with the State named as an additional insured, and indemnify the State for related claims. Electronic collaboration through the department’s designated software platform is required for all plan communications, and proposals must be submitted electronically via Bid Express by the deadline, with only cashier’s checks for bid bonds accepted physically. While no formal pricing structure or contract value is disclosed, unit prices are implied through reference to fuel adjustments and excavation costs, and no solicitation of small business status, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications is required. The absence of identified evaluation factors, payment office details, or contracting officer information suggests reliance on internal state procedures for administration and payment.
