RFB Two Four-Bedroom Single-Family Homes

The Quinault Indian Nation is soliciting sealed, fixed-price bids from qualified general contractors for the construction of two four-bedroom single-family homes in Taholah, Washington. This project is part of the Community Driven Relocation project's Northeast Neighborhood Phase I development and encompasses the full scope of site development, including erosion control, excavation, utility connections, foundations, vertical construction, and landscaping. The contract is structured as a stipulated-sum agreement and is governed by AIA Documents A101-2017 and A201-2017. Bids must be submitted in a sealed hard-copy format by November 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PST, with a mandatory in-person bid opening following shortly after. The award will be granted to the lowest responsible bidder, with evaluation based on a weighted system focusing on the work plan and schedule, qualifications, pricing, submittal completeness, and past performance. Mandatory requirements for the successful bidder include active SAM registration, a valid Quinault Indian Nation business license, and compliance with chapter 18.27 RCW. Because the project receives partial federal funding, contractors must adhere to Davis-Bacon wage determinations and Build America, Buy America (BABA) directives for all iron, steel, and construction materials. Additionally, bidders must provide a bid guarantee of five percent of the bid price and 100 percent payment and performance bonds. Payment is managed through itemized applications for payment submitted to the Owner's Representative, with a ten percent retainage held for sixty days following final acceptance. Quality control must align with WSDOT standard specifications, and the Owner will provide geotechnical observations and special inspections. Key personnel are required to attend a TERO pre-construction meeting, and all work must meet Energy Star certification for the Pacific Northwest. Bidders are also encouraged to provide separate pricing for an optional extended warranty program for each home.
