The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians is seeking qualified contractors to perform repair and reconditioning services for Alden Camp structures located at 7904 Valley St. in Alden, Michigan through Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2024-027. The specific procurement involves comprehensive repair work including removal and replacement of 4 exterior doors, 3 double-hung windows, repair of door jambs and windowsills, and installation of new door hardware with latch shield devices. Contractors must complete both interior and exterior repairs with a thorough cleanup process. The proposal submission deadline is Friday, April 12, 2024 at 3:00 pm, with a deadline for submitting questions and inquiries set for Friday, March 29, 2024 at 5:00 pm. Proposals will be evaluated based on the best overall proposal at the least cost, with the Tribe reserving the right to reject any and all submissions. Electronic bid submissions are mandatory and must be submitted through BidNet Direct, with contractors required to provide two copies of their proposal.

The procurement includes specific preferences and set-aside considerations, with priority given to Tribal Members and Native American/Alaska Native businesses. The Grand Traverse Band also encourages participation from minority and women-owned businesses. Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in General Liability, $2,000,000 in General Aggregate Insurance, and $1,000,000 in Workers' Compensation coverage. The project will adhere to federal Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, which may impact labor cost considerations. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated in the documentation, the scope of work suggests a moderate-scale renovation project focused on structural and cosmetic repairs. Contractors interested in bidding must demonstrate technical capability to complete the specified repair work, comply with insurance and wage requirements, and submit a competitive proposal that meets the Tribe's technical and cost objectives.
