Coquille Indian Tribe - RFP Design/Build - Ko-Kwel Wellness Center Eugene - Phase II Remodel

The Coquille Indian Tribe (CIT) is seeking a design-build contractor for the Ko-Kwel Wellness Center Eugene - Phase II Remodel Project, located in Lane County, Oregon. The procurement involves comprehensive design and construction services for approximately 5,900 square feet of renovation, including new offices, exam rooms, restrooms, patient waiting areas, reception, and large group rooms. Key deliverables include project planning, design development, construction document preparation, permit procurement, construction administration, and project management. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires proposers to demonstrate expertise in design-build methodologies and potentially tribal community project experience. Critical procurement dates include a proposal submission deadline of July 30, 2024, with an anticipated project start date of September 3, 2024. Evaluation criteria appear to emphasize technical capabilities, understanding of project scope, and demonstrated experience with similar healthcare or tribal facility renovations. The RFP requires a comprehensive approach to the remodel, including potential infrastructure upgrades such as access control systems, fire alarm systems, door intercoms, HVAC, and generator replacements.

The procurement shows a strong preference for Indian Owned Businesses, with potential additional evaluation points for proposers with previous experience working with tribal communities. No specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed in the documents. The total development budget is $1,600,000, which will be structured through a DBIA #530 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder - Cost Plus Fee with an Option for Guaranteed Maximum Price. The project does not indicate any incumbent vendors or mandatory technology integration requirements. Proposers will need to coordinate with owner-vendors for specialized elements like low voltage cabling, office furniture, and graphics and signage. Grant funding is being utilized for the project, though the documents specifically note that grant funds will not directly procure HVAC equipment or the generator. Potential contractors should be prepared to demonstrate financial stability, technical expertise in healthcare facility renovations, and the capability to work within the specified budget and timeline.
