Disposal of Clean Wood Waste

The contract pertains to the disposal of clean wood waste under solicitation Z4228 issued by Nashville Electric Service, a public utility operating under the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. The base contract term is three years, with the option to renew for up to two additional one-year periods, and performance is required at the FOB Nashville, Tennessee delivery point. All bids must be submitted in physical form as three hard copies—one marked “ORIGINAL” and two copies—in a sealed envelope clearly labeled with the vendor name, proposal number, licensing information, and open date. Proposals must include completed versions of NES Specification 32-573800002 and the 2019 Standard Purchasing Terms and Conditions, along with the Pricing Worksheet and an Exceptions and Clarifications Worksheet. Any deviations from the standard terms must be explicitly stated and submitted no later than May 1, 2026, or with the bid; failure to do so may result in rejection. Bids are due by 2:00 p.m. Central Time on May 8, 2026, and must be delivered by mail or in person to the NES Procurement Section at 1214 Church Street, Nashville, TN; electronic submissions are prohibited. Payment terms reflect NES’s preference for net 30 days, though formal remittance instructions are not provided. The evaluation basis is not explicitly defined, but the requirement for firm pricing and strict compliance with technical documentation strongly implies a lowest price technically acceptable approach. The contractor is responsible for delivery within a specified number of calendar days after order receipt, with no packaging, preservation, or labeling requirements beyond envelope markings, and no federal accounting data or invoicing systems are specified, placing all administrative compliance under NES’s internal procedures.
