About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) amendment for a duplex construction project on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The solicitation (Solicitation Number 75H70125R00064) is issued by the Indian Health Service (IHS) Division of Engineering Services in Seattle, with an effective date of 8/25/2025. The amendment addresses four contractor questions regarding experience requirements for the project, specifically focusing on construction experience on Native American Lands.

Key responses include: (1) The project will remain specific to Native American Lands within South Dakota, rejecting requests to expand geographical scope to North Dakota or Montana, (2) The definition of "relevant" experience remains narrowly defined as duplex or multifamily housing construction involving multiple trades, and (3) More favorable ratings will be given to offerors with experience working specifically on Native American Lands within South Dakota. The document maintains strict requirements around project-specific experience, emphasizing the unique nature of the construction project in rural reservation areas.

Duplex Construction at Pine Ridge, Kyle, and Wanblee

A00001 dated 8/25/2025 Item Question Response 1 Section L.10, Volume II: Non-Price Proposal Factor 2: Experience of the solicitation calls for “Experience that demonstrates work completed on Native American Lands within South Dakota may be rated more favorably” Can North Dakota, and Montana please be added to this section?

No, because this project site is on Native American Lands within South Dakota. These sites on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are considered rural areas.

2 Section L.10, Volume II: Non-Price Proposal Factor 2: Experience Section J. a of the solicitation states “For the purposes of this factor, “Relevant” is defined as duplex construction that includes multiple trades such as electrical, carpentry, plumbing, roofing, architectural, HVAC, framing, painting, landscaping, and concrete work trades required for successful completion and execution. Projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the requirements described in this solicitation will be highly scrutinized.” Limiting the past performance to duplex construction places unnecessary experience requirements on small IEE contractors. Can you please strike duplex construction and replace with construction?

No, as this project is construction of a duplex or multifamily housing, therefore the definition of relevant is defined accordingly.

3 Section M.5.2 Volume 2 Non-Price Proposal Factor 2: Experience of the solicitation states “Relevant experience for the construction duplex or multifamily housing units may be rated more favorably than single family homes or other buildings.”

Limiting the past performance to duplex construction places unnecessary experience requirements on small IEE contractors.

Can this be changed to ““Relevant experience that, collectively, meet the recent, relevant, and complexity requirements outlined in the Statement of Work and this may be rated more favorably than single family homes or other buildings.”? Or something similar to allow a contractor with various nonresidential

See answer to #2 construction experience a chance to provide a fair and reasonable price?

4 Section M.5.2 Volume 2 Non-Price Proposal Factor 2: Experience of the solicitation states “More favorable ratings will be given to Offerors who demonstrate experience working on Native American Lands within South Dakota.” Can North Dakota, and Montana please be added to this section?
