Demolition and renovation of 11 low rental units

The Gila River Indian Community, located in Greenlee County, Arizona, is seeking bids for the demolition and comprehensive renovation of eleven low rental residential units through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) numbered 16-IFB-0627-DCH. The project involves upgrading eleven housing units in Sacaton, Arizona, ranging from 800 to 2,067 square feet with two to four bedrooms, originally constructed in the 1970-1980s. Specific renovation requirements include updating plumbing, windows, HVAC systems, roofing, and wood framing to meet current code standards, with comprehensive environmental assessments already completed for each unit identifying minimal asbestos and no lead-based paint concerns. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including bid bonds, qualification statements, previous participation certifications, and evidence of licensing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit are scheduled for November 13, 2025, at the Procurement Department, with bid responses due on December 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The project has a defined completion timeline of 150 calendar days, with potential extensions subject to approval by the Community's Executive Office, Procurement, and Department of Community Housing.

The contract is jointly funded by the Gila River Indian Community and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with specific provisions for Native American business preference. Bidders will be subject to federal requirements including Davis-Bacon wage rates, which mandate minimum hourly wages ranging from $13.30 to $17.75 depending on contract date, along with additional worker protections and zone-based pay provisions. The project includes provisions that may provide price adjustments for qualified Indian-owned enterprises, creating potential advantages for Native American-owned businesses. Environmental compliance is critical, with detailed pre-renovation assessments already completed documenting minimal environmental hazards like small quantities of non-friable asbestos and isolated moisture-related mold. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation across eleven units and the detailed environmental and construction specifications suggest a substantial project investment. Contractors must adhere to strict federal regulations, including OSHA safety guidelines, environmental testing, lead and asbestos abatement protocols, and compliance with tribal ordinances.
