Grade for and construct a concrete slab(s), driveway(s), and parking lot(s) and prep for modular home(s) and tube steel building(s)

Smith County Emergency Services District No. 2 is soliciting proposals under solicitation 2026-RFP-250 for the grading and construction of concrete slabs, driveways, and parking lots at two new fire stations: Dixie Station 71 and Winona Station 26. The scope of work focuses on creating permanent infrastructure for emergency apparatus access, personnel parking, and visitor parking, as well as providing the concrete foundations necessary for temporary apparatus bays and modular living quarters. While the foundations are included in this RFP, the actual procurement and installation of the modular homes and bays will be handled through separate solicitations. The District will use a weighted scoring system to determine the best value, with 15% of the total score based on the construction timeline and 5% based on references. Proposals must be submitted via the District's electronic procurement portal by December 10, 2026. Contractors are required to maintain Workman's Compensation Insurance and must provide Performance and Labor and Materials Payment Bonds for 100% of the proposal amount if the total exceeds $25,000.00. All work must adhere to strict quality-control and quality-assurance standards, with specific requirements for material packaging, weatherproofing, and ADA-compliant parking markings. Administrative requirements include the use of AIA Documents G702 and G703 for invoicing, with final payments requiring additional affidavits and surety consents. Vendors must provide several certifications via a Vendor Questionnaire, including E-Verify compliance, non-boycott of Israel and energy companies, and verification that no former District executives have an interest in the contract. Performance schedules must be detailed, with a maximum activity duration of 20 days and a minimum of 15 days allocated for startup and testing.
