Cherokee Heritage Center- Demolition Package

The Cherokee Nation is soliciting bids for the demolition package at the Cherokee Heritage Center in Park Hill, Oklahoma, under Solicitation Number 164777, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026. The contract is managed by Flintco, LLC as Construction Manager on behalf of Cherokee Nation Cultural and Economic Development, L.L.C., and the work involves demolition of existing structures, removal of utilities and MEP systems, and the careful salvage, preservation, and inventory of materials in accordance with the Materials Salvage Plan and Archaeological Management Plan. All salvaged materials require durable, non-destructive labeling linked to a centralized tracking system, controlled environmental storage, and preservation treatments to prevent deterioration, with inspections conducted on-site by an independent agency under the authority of the Architect representing the Owner. Compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and NFPA 241 is mandatory, and all packaging and handling must ensure material integrity during transport and storage. The evaluation and award process prioritizes Indian ownership, with preference granted in descending order to Cherokee-owned major employers, Cherokee-owned businesses, Indian-owned major employers, and other Indian-owned businesses, acting as a decisive tiebreaker when bids are otherwise equal. To qualify for preference, bidders must submit a valid TERO certificate and demonstrate business integrity through verifiable history, employee composition, and financial compliance, including insurance and bonding. Proposals must be submitted as sealed hard copies on official forms from the Construction Managers Bid Book, with all blanks completed, numbers stated in both words and figures, and signatures in longhand; electronic submissions are not accepted. Submission must include bid security of 5% if the bid exceeds $100,000 and must be delivered to the specified physical addresses in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Payment will be processed electronically via Procore Pay, and subcontractors are required to submit sworn statements listing all labor, material, and equipment providers. While pricing details are referenced through unit price schedules for salvage items, no contract value, CLINs, or financial accounting codes are specified in the solicitation, and the period of performance for the demolition package is scheduled from June 1 to September 2, 2026. No formal FAR clauses, COR/COTR/PCO information, or standardized contract clause numbering are included; instead, compliance is governed through exhibits such as the Sworn Construction Statement, Tax Exemption form, and Performance and Payment Bond forms.
