Bill Parkin (MAK) - Water and Sewer

Background
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is conducting a Sources Sought/Request for Information to identify firms capable of performing construction tasks related to water and sewer systems on Trust land within Clallam County, Washington.

The goal is to gather information on the interest, capabilities, and qualifications of small businesses, including various designated categories such as Native American/Indian-Owned Businesses, 8(a) Certified Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, and others. This initiative aims to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations while enhancing community infrastructure.

Work Details
The project involves the installation of an individual septic system and a community water system service connection.

Key components include:
- A 1,000-gallon concrete septic tank
- A 1,000-gallon individual lift station
- A standard mound system with a dispersal area of 1496 square feet.

The contractor is responsible for site investigation and obtaining necessary permits, including the Department of Ecology Notice of Intent.

Place of Performance
Neah Bay WA UNITED STATES

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must meet specific requirements including being a small business (set-aside status: Small Business Set Aside - Total (SBA)), possess relevant contractor or trade licenses, provide bonding capacity information (single and aggregate), and submit experience documentation from similar projects completed within the last six years.

Additional requirements include quality control management details and self-performance capabilities for construction disciplines.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior award 75H70323D00004 was awarded to Allen Gill Construction for $3,419,507 (05/07/23–05/07/28) and involved constructing individual onsite water and wastewater systems, including septic/sewage systems and water service lines/wells, for Native American homes and sites across multiple reservations. The current “Bill Parkin (MAK) - Water and Sewer” effort similarly calls for installation of an individual septic system and a community water system service connection, which appears to align with the same types of sanitation and water infrastructure work as a continuation of that scope. A smaller related contract (75H70126P00017) awarded to A-Action Group Utilities ($52,760) also references “WPS AND OSS,” indicating prior execution of water and onsite sewage system components.
