Roof Repair - Beclabito Day School

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education is seeking a Design-Build contractor to perform a comprehensive roof replacement at Beclabito Day School in Shiprock, New Mexico. The project involves removing and replacing approximately 33,000 square feet of existing damaged roofing on Building #1778 with a new 60 mil membrane TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing system that must carry a 20-year No Dollar Limit warranty. Contractors must provide complete design services including survey, demolition, construction, and installation, with design submissions required at five stages (20%, 40%, 70%, 99%, and 100% completion). The solicitation originally utilized a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, though questions were raised about potentially transitioning to a Best Value approach. The proposal submission deadline has been extended multiple times through various amendments, with the current due date being July 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM MDT. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage determinations, provide performance and payment bonds, and meet specific requirements for Indian Economic Enterprises under the Buy Indian Act.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The project magnitude is estimated between $250,000 and $500,000, representing a significant roofing infrastructure investment. The total performance period has been extended from an initial 90 days to 180 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with on-site construction work to be completed within 90 calendar days of that total timeframe. Work must be performed during normal duty hours of 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and may be subject to interruptions from Tribal Traditional Activities. The project location is at the Beclabito Day School on the Navajo Reservation in Shiprock, New Mexico, with the primary objective of bringing the facility into compliance with Indian Affairs life safety codes and extending the building's infrastructure lifespan.
