Solicitation A10-07-26-9388- Housing Rehab- Mayes County

The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation is soliciting bids for the rehabilitation of a single residential property in Mayes County, Oklahoma, with work to be completed within five working days after commencement. The home has been confirmed to contain asbestos-containing materials, requiring contractors to follow designated safe work practices as outlined in provided documentation. Bidders must fully complete the Mandatory Bid Response sheet and Work Write-Up to be considered responsive and responsible, with preference given to those certified by the Cherokee Nation Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO), for which proof must accompany the submission. Successful contractors are bound to comply with all Tribal rules and regulations, including TERO requirements, and face a $100 daily liquidated damages charge for each day of delay beyond the contract end date if work does not begin within two weeks of notification. The solicitation operates on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the award will go to the lowest-priced bidder who meets all technical, legal, and administrative requirements. Compliance with federal labor standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act and 29 CFR Part 5, is mandatory, requiring weekly certified payrolls and retention of employment records for three years post-completion. Contractors must also adhere to HUD Section 3 provisions by prioritizing employment of low- and very low-income individuals and Native Americans, and submit documentation detailing their plans for Indian employment and core crew composition. Insurance coverage of at least $100,000 in general liability and compliant worker’s compensation is required, with the Cherokee Nation Housing Authority named as certificate holder. All bids must be submitted via sealed hard copy in accordance with strict deadlines, with electronic submissions not accepted, and late bids face disqualification unless delivered under specific, authorized circumstances. The contract involves no fixed price estimate but falls within the scope of small-scale construction projects between $2,000 and $250,000, and requires use of recovered materials per EPA guidelines and compliance with energy efficiency standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
