Amanda Gordon Replacement OSS System

The Amanda Gordon Replacement OSS System contract, solicited under number 75H70126Q00022, is a small business set-aside for the design and construction of an on-site sewage system at a residential site in Port Hadlock, Washington. The work involves excavation, trenching, backfilling, and installation of a low-pressure dosed gravel drainfield and pressurized chamber drainfield, including a 1000-gallon septic tank, PVC piping, lift stations, inspection ports, and associated utilities, all in strict compliance with ASTM standards, Washington Administrative Code, and Indian Health Service Technical Provisions. Performance is mandated to be completed within 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with a strict 10-day start window, and contractors must possess a valid septic installer license. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with price being the sole discriminating factor after mandatory compliance with SF-1442 completion, accurate pricing in Section B, and submission of a current installer license. All invoices must be processed electronically through the Department of Treasury Invoice Processing Platform, and payments are remitted by the Portland Area Indian Health Service. The contract includes extensive compliance requirements tied to federal regulations and tribal governance, including Buy American provisions with Alternate I, sustainable materials under deviation, and specific obligations under Indian Preference and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act provisions. Contractors must adhere to strict safety protocols, submit a formal Accident Prevention Plan, follow reservation-specific rules regarding vehicle access and speed limits, and ensure all personnel wear government-approved non-metallic ID badges. Subcontracting is tightly controlled, forbidding entities on SAM’s exclusions list and requiring specialty subcontractors to be licensed or manufacturer-supervised. Materials removed during work become the contractor’s property but cannot be stored or sold on-site, and all equipment must be clearly marked and parked in designated zones. A mandatory preconstruction conference and weekly payroll submissions using WH347 forms are required, along with final release of claims forms and as-built documentation. The estimated contract value falls between $25,000 and $100,000, with no bid, payment, or performance bonds required unless the award exceeds $35,000, and there are no option periods. All proposals must be submitted as a single PDF via email by the May 21, 2026 deadline, and no hard copies are accepted.
