Cherokee Nation Entertainment- Gold Strike Casino Theater stage deck replacement

Cherokee Nation Entertainment, L.L.C. is soliciting proposals for the replacement of the stage deck at the Gold Strike Casino Theater in Oklahoma, under Solicitation Number 164551, with responses due by May 22, 2026. The work is classified under NAICS code 238350 for construction of commercial buildings, and the contract is open to all bidders with a preference given first to members of the Cherokee Nation and second to members of other federally recognized tribes. Bidders must demonstrate prior experience, financial responsibility, proper insurance coverage, and compliance with tribal employment rights ordinances, including submission of a subcontractor plan that verifies Indian-owned status. Proposals must be submitted electronically to [email hidden] with the exact subject line CNE164551, and no in-person or mailed submissions are accepted. Evaluation will be based on bidder qualifications, compliance with technical specifications, subcontractor experience, and technical performance considerations including materials, maintenance, and guarantees, with award determined through a trade-off process that balances cost and technical merit, not necessarily lowest price. The contract requires adherence to specified materials such as 3/8” MDF plywood, glue, finish nails, and black paint, along with general construction standards, and mandates comprehensive insurance with a minimum of $2 million per occurrence, a five-year extended reporting period for claims-made policies, a waiver of subrogation, and insurers rated A- VII or better by AM Best. Contractors must indemnify the Cherokee Nation and comply with internal data privacy and AI standards, though no formal inspection protocols, packaging specifications, or MIL-STD requirements are outlined. The work will be performed on-site, with inspection and acceptance conducted by Cherokee Nation Entertainment, and no contract value, payment office details, invoicing method, or contract type are specified in the available information. All representations, certifications, and attachments remain in placeholder form, with no completed submissions or formal clause numbering from FAR provisions provided, indicating the solicitation relies on tribal-specific requirements and internal standards rather than federal acquisition regulatory frameworks.
