This procurement carries a tribal set-aside with a 15-point bonus for Indian-owned businesses and mandatory compliance with the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO), including a 2% TERO fee on contracts exceeding $5,000 and employment preferences for Klamath Tribal Members.

The scope encompasses construction of a single-story wood-frame healthcare facility (Type V-B, Business occupancy) housing medical and dental offices, fitness center, behavioral health services, and administrative spaces at 24110 Godowa Springs Road. The facility is designed for 69 occupants with ADA-compliant accessibility throughout. Construction must comply with 2025 Oregon Structural Specialty Code, 2023 Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, and ASHRAE 90.1 (2022) energy standards; structural design incorporates seismic design category D and 54 psf ground snow load per site-specific calculations. The contractor must complete the project within five to six months from contract execution and maintain general commercial liability insurance with a $1 million per-occurrence and $3 million aggregate minimum, naming the Tribes as additional insured.

Contract award goes to the lowest qualified bidder evaluated on a 100-point rubric covering cost, specification compliance, general contracting experience, medical facility experience, and local presence. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates apply. The contractor must be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, manage all permits and licensing, and use an electronic document management system (Newforma ConstructEx, ProCORE, or equivalent) for contract administration. The project term extends up to one year maximum. KTHFS retains responsibility for furnishings, equipment, and site operations during construction; the contractor must coordinate to preserve adjacent building access.
