Management ("STREAM"), hereinafter referred to as the "State," has issued this Request for
Proposals ("RFP"), to define minimum contract requirements; solicit responses; detail response
requirements; and, outline the State's process for evaluating responses and selecting a Construction
Manager/General Contractor ("CM/GC"), to provide the needed services.
1.2. Project Description
The Tennessee Residence is the personal residence for the Governor as well as a historic home and
event venue that typically hosts over 100 events each year. The home will be occupied during
construction, so care must be taken to minimize any disruption to the daily operations of the
residence. All workers entering the site will be required to submit documentation to the Tennessee
Highway Patrol.
This Project will include, but not be limited to, updates to the main residence house, pool house,
conservation hall, carriage house, maintenance garage, and campus grounds. The main residence
work will include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement, primary
bathroom/closet remodel, master bedroom/bathroom remodel, improving the kitchen hood
exhaust, interior/exterior painting, basement restroom ventilation, elevator modernization, code
compliance adherence for two elevators, and replacement of deteriorated exterior wood trim.
The conservation hall work is to include replacement of the existing audio/ visual equipment,
improving the kitchen hood exhaust, and the elevator scope of work as noted in the main residence
scope. Wood deck and trim repair/replacement, soffit repair, HVAC upgrades, and Interior/exterior
painting is also needed within the carriage house. Foundation/slab on grade/masonry wall structural
remediation, and exterior painting is needed on the maintenance shop. HVAC/plumbing and
electrical updates in the pool house. Lastly, the existing irrigation system will need new heads,
controls, and expansion as well as the campus fire alarm replacement due to existing system no
longer being supported.
