A small portion of the project will consist of replacing flashing, doors and frames, wood fascia, and siding. Work shall conform to the Tohono O'odham Nation, Pima County, AZ, and all Federal Codes and Regulations. The proposed contract is set aside under the Buy Indian Act for 51 percent Indian-owned, controlled and operated firms. In accordance with the Health and Human Services Acquisition Regulation paragraph 305.303, not more than 50 percent of the work to be performed under a prime contract awarded pursuant to the Buy Indian Act shall be subcontracted to other than Indian firms. For this purpose, work to be performed does not include the provision of materials, supplies, or equipment. In order for Indian firms to prove they can meet the qualification requirement of the Buy-Indian Set-Aside restriction, i.e. bidders who are currently certified by the Indian Health Service or the Bureau of Indian Affairs as an "Indian Firm", need to submit this certification (Tribal Affiliation and Degree of Indian Blood) with their offer. Bidders who are not currently certified by IHS or BIA are required to submit proof of ownership and eligibility for Indian preference under the Buy Indian Act. Joint Ventures will be considered as long as the Indian firm is the managing entity. Estimated contract period is 120 calendar days. Estimated magnitude of construction is $250,000 to $500,000. This will be a firm fixed price contract. Award will be based on the lowest aggregate bid price from a responsive, responsible contractor.

Plans and specifications will be available on or about October 5, 2001 by writing to Kathy Brancato at the address above.
