Alamo Navajo Health Center Design-Build Construction

The contract pertains to a two-phase design-build construction project for the Indian Health Service, aimed at developing the Alamo Navajo Health Center in New Mexico. The project involves designing and constructing a comprehensive outpatient wellness facility spanning approximately 70,000 square feet, intended to serve around 2,650 tribal residents on the Alamo Navajo Indian Reservation. The scope includes modern healthcare services such as medical, dental, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy, behavioral health, community health programs, and expanded outpatient services. The site covers about 41 acres, with roughly 12 acres designated for the health center, parking, utilities, and stormwater management, and an additional three acres potentially allocated for geothermal wells. The design and construction are expected to be completed within approximately 1020 days, starting in 2026, with a firm fixed-price contract anticipated in the range of $80 million to $120 million. The procurement process is structured as a competitive, unrestricted, two-phase solicitation under FAR 36.101-2, open to both large and small businesses. In the first phase, interested firms submit qualification proposals demonstrating their capabilities, experience, and key personnel, which the government will evaluate to shortlist up to five offerors for the second phase. The second phase will involve issuing a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) to these shortlisted firms for detailed design and construction proposals. The solicitation emphasizes adherence to the NAICS code 236220, with specific instructions for submitting qualifications, including optional forms for experience, key personnel resumes, and letters of commitment. Amendments have been issued to clarify submission requirements, extend deadlines, and address pre-proposal inquiries. The contract aims to deliver a modern, fully equipped health facility that enhances healthcare delivery for the Alamo Navajo community, with procurement managed by the Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Engineering Services in Seattle.
