The Bureau of Indian Education within the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs is seeking contractors to install a 90-inch vertical lift with a 36 x 54-inch platform at the Cheyenne Eagle Butte School's high school gymnasium in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, to improve ADA accessibility for a student with mobility needs beginning Fall 2025. The project requires the contractor to provide and install a brand new vertical lift system with top gate and call send buttons on the north side of the gymnasium bleachers, utilizing existing electrical infrastructure and ensuring compliance with all local, state, and federal safety codes. Contractors must be both an Indian Economic Enterprise and a small business, submit two-volume proposals covering technical approach and pricing, and comply with Davis-Bacon wage determination requirements. The government will evaluate proposals using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, considering technical approach, project schedule, and overall project understanding. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on July 22, 2025 at 1:00 PM CDT and a proposal submission deadline of July 29, 2025 at 5:00 PM MDT, with proposals remaining valid for 90 days after the closing date.

This opportunity is designated as an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-aside, with no incumbent contractors identified in the solicitation materials. The estimated contract value ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, structured as a firm fixed-price construction purchase order. The performance period is extremely compressed, requiring completion within just 5 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed, with work scheduled to occur during regular school operating hours of 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The contractor must be located within three hours of the job site to ensure responsive service and support throughout the installation process. Work will be performed at the Cheyenne Eagle Butte School in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, specifically within Building 2006's gymnasium facility, under the supervision of a Contracting Officer's Representative who will coordinate scheduling, approve technical submittals, and conduct final inspections before project acceptance.
