RFP MBR Building Structural Repairs & Improvements – Roof

The Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation Planning Department is requesting proposals for structural repairs and improvements to the MBR Plant Building roof and ventilation systems, with proposals due September 18, 2026 and a Notice of Intent due August 31, 2026. All contractors must obtain a Tribal Business License. The Tribe exercises tribal preference by awarding contracts to Indian-owned enterprises if equally qualified and priced, or to Chehalis Tribe member-owned enterprises with prices no more than 10 percent higher than the lowest responsive bid.

The scope encompasses six primary bid items: repair or replacement of loosened, corroded, and punctured steel roof panels at the gable first level (west end), gable second level (east section), and monitor roof; reconstruction of monitor roof infrastructure including wood framing and steel wall panels to address moisture, mold, and rot; upgrading the roof-mounted ventilation system to improve air exchange and create positive pressure; and replacement of damaged fascia and gutters with enhanced drainage capacity. The facility is located at 18999 MBR Ln, Rochester, Washington 98579. Proposals must include detailed cost breakdowns by bid item, a project schedule with intermediate benchmarks, staff qualifications and resumes, relevant project experience, and an approach to stakeholder collaboration.

Evaluation allocates 30 points for specialized knowledge and experience, 30 points for project approach comprehensiveness, 25 points for cost reasonableness and detail, 10 points for overall proposal quality, and 5 points for Indian preference documentation. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the MBR Plant. Proposals will be opened and scored September 21, 2026, with bidders notified of results by September 23, 2026. The Tribe reserves the right to reject all proposals if none achieves a sufficient score. Award of contract serves as the Notice to Proceed.
