The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation is soliciting bids for the turnkey construction of six 4-bedroom homes across Adair, Delaware, Muskogee, Sequoyah, and Washington Counties within the Cherokee Nation Reservation in Oklahoma. Contractors are responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, permits, insurance, and supervision necessary to complete each home to full occupancy standards, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures, all in compliance with applicable local, state, and federal codes. Work must be completed within 120 working days from the Notice to Proceed, with a penalty of $1,000 per working day for delays. Payment is structured in three milestones: 30% after slab pour and termite treatment certification, 30% after dry-in completion, and 40% upon final inspection and approval. The contract requires strict adherence to Davis-Bacon wage rates, HUD Section 3 employment preferences, and EPA recovered materials standards, with all materials and finishes requiring prior approval from HACN, including color samples for paint, flooring, and siding. All offerors must submit comprehensive documentation including a W-9, vendor registration, insurance certificates, and a Core Crew Listing with CDIB or Tribal Membership verification for each worker. Compliance with Cherokee Nation Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) certification is mandatory, and preference is given to Indian-owned economic enterprises, with subcontracting to non-Indian entities requiring documentation of efforts to engage Indian-owned businesses. Contractors must maintain certified payroll records for three years, provide lien waivers, and submit as-built drawings detailing property pins, septic systems, wells, and utility locations. A one-year warranty on all work is required, and a mandatory one-year walk-through with HACN must occur before retainage is released. Appliances must be Energy Star rated, color-matched, and prioritized for U.S.-made production. No FOB terms are specified, and the place of performance is strictly limited to the reservation boundaries. Bids are due by June 30, 2026, and must be submitted via email, mail, or hand delivery to the designated HACN contact. While no formal contract type or estimated value is stated, award is anticipated to be based on lowest responsive and responsible bid, with no formal evaluation weighting provided.
