Y--Speelyi Shoreline protection

The Speelyi Beach Shoreline Protection project, located on Cle Elum Reservoir in Kittitas County, Washington, is a newly initiated construction effort by the Bureau of Reclamation under the Department of the Interior to stabilize and protect erosion-prone shoreline areas. The work involves comprehensive earthwork and environmental restoration activities, including clearing and grubbing, tree removal, excavation and hillside reshaping, placement of common fill and beach fill, toe armor, geotextile, riprap, bedding layers for culverts, fish habitat structures, fencing, seeding, soil supplements, and temporary erosion controls. The project also requires water management for dust control and construction access, with all materials, labor, and equipment to be supplied by the contractor. The estimated contract value ranges between one and five million dollars, with a proposed firm fixed price structure under FAR Part 36. The project falls within the government’s 2026/2027 fiscal year timeline, with performance to occur on the reservoir shoreline approximately eight miles northwest of Cle Elum, WA, near ZIP code 98943. The procurement is exclusively set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE), requiring offerors to be certified as small businesses under 13 CFR part 121 and meet stringent ownership and control criteria: at least 51 percent ownership and control by Indians or federally recognized tribes, with at least 51 percent of contract earnings benefiting Indigenous individuals or tribes, and daily operations managed by Native individuals. Entities must be currently registered in SAM.gov and demonstrate applicable bonding capacity, both aggregate and per contract. Liability insurance coverage of at least one million dollars per occurrence for personal injury, property damage, and overall liability is mandatory. All inquiries must be submitted in writing to Michael Naseath and Jared Detton at the Bureau of Reclamation, and phone calls or verbal requests for information are not permitted. No formal solicitation has been issued yet; this phase is strictly a market research and sources sought notice to gather information from qualified ISBEE contractors, with no guarantee of procurement or obligation to pay respondents. Future updates, including specifications, drawings, amendments, and the official solicitation, will be published exclusively through SAM.gov.
