August 3, 2021 the Honorable Todd Gardenhire, Chairman Fiscal August 3, 2021 The Honorable Todd Gardenhire, Chairman Fiscal Review Committee 732 Cordell Hull Building Nashville, TN 37243 Dear Chairman Gardenhire, The Department of Correction (TDOC) wishes to amend its current contract for the electronic monitoring of offenders utilizing GPS units and electronic victim notification to extend the contract term for an additional year and to increase the maximum liability accordingly. An RFP was released in March 2020. During the Open File Period and Notice of Intent to Award a discrepancy was discovered in the calculation of the cost proposals. The Central Procurement Office/RFP Coordinator notified the TDOC that the current RFP may need to be cancelled and re-issued due to this discrepancy while the procurement documents are further reviewed. At this time, Central Procurement and TDOC are determining whether to move forward with the current RFP noting the scoring issue as part of the procurement file or to cancel the current RFP, correct the scoring issue and then re-issue the RFP. This extension will allow continued necessary services during the review and re-issue of the RFP. Buddi, US is incorporated in Florida. TDOC Legal Staff finds no records concerning allegations of fraudulent activity by this vendor. An amendment request with all required supporting documentation to permit this amendment was submitted to the Commissioner of General Services and the Comptroller of the Treasury simultaneously with this submission to the Fiscal Review Committee.

I hope you enjoy your visit and the opportunity to witness the building’s beauty and history. Upon its original completion, this Capitol was considered one of the most magnificent public buildings in the country. Interestingly, the facility has served as the seat of Tennessee State Government since that time and remains a source of pride for our citizens today. Visitors from around the world come to Nashville to tour the grounds and legislative chambers. Utilized since 1853, our Senate Chamber’s significance exceeds the beauty of the walls surrounding it. The chamber, as a forum for debate and discussion, epitomizes our democracy; speeches delivered here have resonated well beyond the upstairs gallery ushering change to the entire country.

  • Tennessee 2020 General Election Results Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry’S Morning After Report: 2020 General Election Results
    Special Report Tennessee 2020 General Election Results Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Morning after Report: 2020 General Election Results NOTE: All results are unofficial due to increased turnout and mail-in voting. Republicans Win Resounding Victories with Substantial Margins in Presidential, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and State House and State Senate Victories. President Donald Trump Wins Tennessee Decisively- Tennessee was one of the first states that news networks called as a win for President Donald Trump. Overall, President Trump’s performance in the Volunteer State compared to 2016 was at a similar margin at 61%. In 2016, President Trump won Tennessee with approximately 61% of the total vote compared to 35% for Hillary Clinton. For many, this was largely predicted, as rural areas countered increased urban turnout to give President Trump a strong victory. Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden carried resoundingly the urban counties of Davidson, Shelby and rural Haywood County by margins of up to 65%. President Trump carried all other 92 counties with a substantial margin of victory in most counties exceeding 70%, the highest in Wayne County where he received almost 87% of the vote. Voting Comparisons: In record setting fashion and similar to a number of other states, overall 2020 voter turnout in Tennessee was higher than any other. Dating back to 2008, when Barack Obama first ran for President, Tennessee’s total general election turnout was 2,601,987. In 2012, turnout dropped slightly to 2.458,577. In 2016, when President Donald Trump first ran for office, overall turnout was 2,508,027.

  • 2019 Public Policy Session Highlights 2019 Has Been a Year of Firsts: New Governor, New Senate Majority Leader, New House Leadership, to Name a Few
    2019 PUBLIC POLICY SESSION HIGHLIGHTS 2019 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF FIRSTS: NEW GOVERNOR, NEW SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, NEW HOUSE LEADERSHIP, TO NAME A FEW. THIS WAS ALSO A YEAR OF FIRSTS FOR THE CHATTANOOGA AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR WE’VE HAD A FULL TIME PRESENCE IN NASHVILLE DURING SESSION ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DAILY ACTIVITIES. To ensure our efforts accurately reflect the priorities of our members, we polled them on their Public Policy interests. Based on results, we developed the 2019 Public Policy Agenda that served as our playbook this session. We intentionally brought in elected officials from across the state to give our members the opportunity to hear directly from decision makers about the topics at hand. And we grew our advocacy network through legislative updates, social media and many face-to-face meetings. In fact, all the changes occurring at the state level made it a perfect time for the Chattanooga Chamber to sharpen our public policy focus. Were we impactful? Let’s take a look. BASED ON OUR MEMBER SURVEY, OUR TOP FIVE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES WERE: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TALENT DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PUBLIC SAFETY HEALTH CARE We followed 431 pieces of legislation that impacted these five priority areas this session, tracking down amendments, lending our support or speaking with members about their concerns. We won’t bore you by highlighting all 431 bills (trust us, you don’t want that) but we will hit the highlights. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Growing our region’s economy and supporting sustainable community development are at the core of our mission.
