This RFP solicits firm bids for two (2) concrete and masonry repair scopes at 4935 Shifri Avenue, Memphis, TN. Both projects have been flagged as safety issues and are to be treated as priority work. These are recurring repair scopes; respondents with prior site history are encouraged to note that in their submission.
Contractors may perform a site walk at their convenience. No scheduled escort is required for the exterior areas. Contractors are expected to assess conditions firsthand before submitting pricing.
Project 1 — Deteriorating & Lifting Concrete | Building 4935-02
The exterior concrete at Building 4935-02 is deteriorating and lifting, presenting an active trip and fall hazard. The selected contractor must address all affected areas comprehensively.
Minimum scope includes:
- Full assessment and documentation of all deteriorated and displaced concrete sections
- Saw-cutting and removal of all lifted, cracked, or structurally compromised slabs or panels
- Sub-base inspection and re-grading as required prior to pour
- Replacement concrete poured to match existing finish, grade, and thickness
- Control joint installation where applicable to prevent recurrence
- Surface sealing of new concrete
- Haul-away and disposal of all demo material
Note: Contractor must clearly delineate in their bid whether pricing is based on a full replacement or a repair-in-place approach, and provide sq ft / linear ft unit pricing.
Project 2 — Fallen Pillar | Building 4919

- Mortar, masonry, or poured concrete as appropriate per construction method
