Request for Proposal for Shoalwater Bay Tribal Campus Road

The Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe is soliciting proposals for the conceptual design of the Tribal Campus Road and associated parking infrastructure in Pacific, Washington. This project supports the tribe's relocation to higher ground and involves creating 30 percent design plans for a frontage road looping from Eagle Hill Road to serve future public facilities, including a justice center, clinic, and emergency shelter. The scope of work encompasses geotechnical engineering, topographic surveys, environmental reviews, and community engagement, with collaboration with an architecture firm for site development. The project is funded by a Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program Grant in the amount of 312,200 dollars and is expected to span from late 2026 to early 2029, with a target contract execution date of November 16, 2026.

Preference points are available for Indian preference (10 points) or VBE, DBE, WBE, and MBE certifications (5 points). Qualified offerors must be registered in Sam.gov, meet FAR Subpart 9.4 eligibility requirements, and provide professional indemnity insurance or a performance bond covering 100 percent of the contract price.
