tree removal

The Choctaw Nation Housing Authority is soliciting bids for the removal of a diseased tree located south of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residential property at 55 Hall Dr., Stuart, OK 74570, with an accompanying stump grind to ground level. The home is a 1,500 square foot brick structure on a slab foundation with a shingle roof. All prospective contractors are required to conduct a mandatory site visit prior to submitting a bid, and any conditions observable during that visit may not be the basis for change orders after award. Work must comply with the 2019 International Residential Code and all applicable state and local licensing requirements, and contractors are fully responsible for securing permits, conducting all line locates, removing all debris, and restoring the yard to mowing condition. The homeowner or property manager retains final authority over all color selections, and the contractor is accountable for precise measurements and material quantity estimates without the possibility of price adjustments due to unanticipated site conditions. The solicitation is subject to Indian Preference under FAR clause 52.219-6, providing award preference to Indian-owned economic enterprises, and the Davis-Bacon Act applies due to the project’s federal funding, requiring payment of prevailing wages. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Housing Bid Board portal by 4:30 p.m. on August 21, 2026, and must include itemized pricing, a valid price good date, proposed start date, and a signature from an authorized representative; submissions through other channels will be rejected. The contracting officer’s representative is Ferne Gunn, who also serves as the property manager, and Dustin Battles is the designated inspector. No evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology are explicitly outlined in the solicitation, but the strict compliance requirements, mandatory site visit, and itemized bidding structure strongly suggest a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. Payment office details, invoicing procedures, and specific funding identifiers are not provided, and the contract is expected to be awarded as a fixed-price arrangement for a one-time service at the designated property.
