BIE sfes - RE-route supply/return of heating water

The Bureau of Indian Education is procuring construction services to re-route supply and return heating water systems at San Felipe Elementary School in San Felipe, New Mexico. This fixed-price construction project aims to address inadequate heating in the older wing of the BIA-operated K-8 school that serves approximately 164 Native American students, involving the removal of existing piping and installation of new components including a butterfly valve to improve water circulation. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and personnel necessary to complete the heating system modifications, submit safety plans and job hazard analyses, and provide a minimum one-year labor warranty on all work. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable process where only the lowest-priced responsive offer will be examined for technical acceptability first. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on August 14, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., a question submission deadline of August 21, 2025 by 12:00 p.m., and proposal submissions due September 8, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside with an estimated project value of less than $25,000. The contractor must begin work within 10 calendar days after receiving notice to proceed and complete all work within 90 calendar days, though the Statement of Work specifies a 45-day performance period from Notice to Proceed. Bonding requirements include a 20% bid bond, 100% performance bond, and 100% payment bond, and the project must comply with prevailing wage rates as specified in the Davis-Bacon Act determination for Sandoval County, New Mexico. Work must be coordinated with the School Maintenance Worker during operating hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and all construction activities must comply with federal codes including NFPA 5000, National Electrical Codes, ASHRAE Standards, ADA guidelines, and OSHA regulations. The project will be performed at San Felipe Pueblo Elementary School located on Pueblo Lane in San Felipe Pueblo, New Mexico.
