Chemawa CTSI Mowing & Site Cleanup Project

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) is soliciting proposals for site cleanup, mowing, and general landscaping services at the former Chemawa Indian School campus in Siletz, Oregon, covering approximately 74 acres. The scope includes removing hazardous vegetation, debris, and unsafe materials; identifying and securing underground utilities like manholes and vaults; restoring perimeter fencing; installing “No Trespassing” signage; and reducing wildfire fuel loads to prepare the site for long-term maintenance. Work must be conducted in three distinct phases—site clearing and hazard mapping, security and stabilization, and maintenance readiness—with deliverables including a pre-construction work plan, Site Safety Plan, progress reports, disposal records, and a final completion report. All activities must comply with federal, state, tribal, and local regulations, CTSI procurement policies, Indian Preference requirements, Equal Employment Opportunity laws, and Drug-Free Workplace standards, with a Site Safety Plan mandatory for execution. This is a firm fixed price contract with a trade-off award methodology, where proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale across six factors: Cost (30 points), Experience and Capability (30 points), Environmental Practices (15 points), Indian Preference (15 points), References and Past Performance (5 points), and Completeness and Quality of Proposed Work (5 points). Indian Preference is a critical component, requiring offerors to prove at least 51% Indian ownership and control, with bonus points awarded for submitting a workforce utilization plan and subcontractor participation plan. A 5% bid bond is required with proposal submission, and performance and payment bonds are mandatory upon contract award. Proposals must be submitted by May 1, 2026, in hard copy (one original and two copies) or electronically via email, clearly labeled with the project title. No federal acquisition regulations clauses apply directly; instead, tribal-specific provisions govern the procurement, and standard federal certifications like UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic status are not required. The place of performance is the Chemawa site in Siletz, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by CTSI’s Planning Department, and no packaging, marking, or preservation standards are specified beyond the submission format.
