The project must be completed within five working days, with a penalty of $100 per day for any delay beyond the agreed completion date. Bidders must submit a fully completed mandatory bid response sheet and adhere to all required attachments, including HUD-5369-A for representations and certifications, HUD-2530 for previous participation, and Schedule A listing prior projects and Section 8 contracts. Compliance with Indian preference laws under 24 CFR 905.175(c) is mandatory, with preference given to Indian-owned firms or those employing Native Americans. All bidders must certify their eligibility, disclose any contingent fees, and provide proof of Indian ownership if claiming preference. A detailed list of core crew employees is required, and all subcontractors must be pre-approved by both the Tribal Employment Rights Office and the Housing Authority. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, maintain certified payroll records for three years, and enforce a drug-free and tobacco-free workplace policy. Work must meet energy efficiency standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and procurement requirements for EPA-designated recovered materials under RCRA. The contract follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, but the agency retains discretion to reject unreasonably low bids or award to a non-low bidder under established policies. Inspections and compliance oversight are conducted by federal and tribal authorities, with failure to provide records, permit worker interviews, or meet labor standards potentially leading to payment suspension or debarment. All submissions must be in hard copy with original signatures, sealed, and delivered by the deadline as no electronic submission methods are specified.
