Description
The State of Tennessee is establishing up to three statewide contracts for rapid‑response emergency debris‑removal services. The contractor must be able to mobilize equipment and personnel within 24 hours of a call‑out, handle a wide variety of debris (vegetative, construction & demolition, hazardous household waste, e‑waste, vehicles, tires, infectious and CBRN waste), and provide full documentation for FEMA reimbursement. The contract is an indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with unit‑rate pricing; the State estimates up to $1 billion in purchases over the life of the contracts but does not guarantee minimum volume. Significant bonding and insurance requirements (25 % payment bond of $250 million, 25 % performance bond, $1 M per‑occurrence insurance limits) apply, as do extensive licensing (HC‑H and HC‑5 with $1 M limit) and environmental compliance obligations.
• Mobilization within 24 hours; 45 detailed line‑items covering all debris types, each priced per unit.
• Required HC‑H/HC‑5 Tennessee contractor license, $1 M insurance, $250 M payment bond, and performance bond.
• Contract term 36 months (optionally extendable to 60 months), with unit‑rate pricing and monthly invoicing plus daily load‑ticket reporting.
