Coquille Indian Tribe - RFP New CELS Building Civil and Sitework Construction

The Coquille Indian Tribe is seeking proposals for civil and sitework construction services for a new CELS Building located at 491 Miluk Drive in Coos Bay, Oregon. The project scope encompasses comprehensive site preparation, including site clearing, excavation, structural fill placement, foundation drainage, utility connections, parking lot improvements, storm infrastructure, lighting, and landscape work. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST, with proposals due by January 23, 2025. The project timeline anticipates site preparation completion by March 2025 and total project completion by August 2025. Contractors must comply with the Coquille Indian Tribe Building Code Ordinance, which follows the International Building Code and federal laws. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate), Business Automobile Liability ($1M), and other specified coverage. Proposal requirements include a detailed fee schedule, percentage markup for change orders, and evidence of bonding capability.

The procurement strongly prioritizes Indian Owned Businesses (IOB), with a specific emphasis on utilizing CIT-owned businesses and qualified Tribal Members for labor and supplies. The project is situated on federal trust land and is not subject to federal or state prevailing wage requirements. Unique environmental considerations include restrictions due to an adjacent eagle nesting area, which will limit construction activities between March and August, and work hours are restricted to 7am-6pm due to proximity to residential areas. Geological surveys indicate the site contains clean fill material with no significant rock or groundwater challenges, allowing for standard excavation equipment. The Tribe will provide disposal sites for excess soil and woody debris, with contractors expected to coordinate closely with tribal authorities. While a specific project budget is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope and detailed requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment for the Coquille Indian Tribe's new facility.
