Admin 2 Broadband Remodel

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) are soliciting proposals for Architectural and Engineering (A/E) Services to conduct a broadband equipment remodel project located at 197 SE Swan Ave. in Siletz, Oregon. The procurement involves expanding the mechanical room to accommodate large broadband equipment, potentially utilizing up to one-third of the existing building's space. Proposing firms must be licensed architectural and/or engineering service providers capable of submitting two remodel design options, completing comprehensive construction drawings, creating bid documents, and ensuring compliance with local building and fire codes. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with 40 points allocated to experience and capability, 20 points for Indian preference, and 40 points for fee structure. Proposals are due by June 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, with the contract beginning immediately upon award and to be completed according to specified terms. Professional liability insurance of $1,000,000 per claim is mandatory for all proposing firms.

The RFP demonstrates a strong preference for Indian-owned companies, specifically those with 51% Indian ownership, and seeks firms with demonstrated experience in sustainable design, energy efficiency, and understanding of federal and tribal grant requirements. Proposers must submit a comprehensive package including personnel resumes, references, cost schedules, and compliance documentation. The final selection will be made by the CTSI CEO and/or Tribal Council following an internal review committee evaluation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract is structured as a "stipulated sum" (firm fixed price) arrangement. The procurement is specifically tied to Klamath County, Oregon, and is focused on enhancing broadband infrastructure for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. Potential respondents should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the detailed qualifications and preference criteria outlined in the RFP.
