The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has issued Solicitation CN264035 for a road and bridge construction project located in Obion County, Tennessee, with performance taking place within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway. The solicitation, posted on May 8, 2026, and with a response deadline of the same date at 10:00 A.M. Central Time, requires electronic submission exclusively through the Bid Express portal, with no physical or email submissions accepted. The work must adhere to the Tennessee DOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, April 1, 2026 Edition, and all applicable federal and state regulations, including compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, Buy America provisions under 2 CFR Part 184, and the requirement to use U.S.-produced materials for iron, steel, glass, lumber, and drywall. Contractors are obligated to provide certified payrolls using Optional Form WH-347 or equivalent, maintain records for three years, and ensure non-discrimination in employment practices under Executive Order 11246 and 41 CFR Part 60. Performance is subject to strict quality control based on International Roughness Index (IRI) measurements taken after construction using a Road Profiler; unacceptable pavement segments must be corrected via mill and inlay in minimum 0.1-mile sub-lots, with no more than three such corrections allowed unless justified by proximity of joints. Acceptance is determined at the project site by TDOT inspectors, and payment may be adjusted based on compliance with IRI thresholds and improvement metrics. Special requirements include the employment of a qualified superintendent as mandated by 23 CFR 635.116(c), DBE participation compliance under 49 CFR Part 26, and the submission of required certifications regarding debarment, suspension, and lobbying activities using Standard Form SF-LLL when non-Federal funds are involved. While no contract value is specified, pricing is governed by adjustments tied to material costs and fuel, and no line-item CLINs or option periods are detailed. The solicitation does not include provisions for security clearances, organizational conflict of interest restrictions, or contract options, and no formal attachment list, evaluation factors, or payment office details are provided, though invoicing must be electronic with electronic signatures retained for compliance.
