Scope of Work
The Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation was awarded an Indian Community
Development Block Grant through HUD to design and build five new homes for
Chehalis tribal members along with match funds. We are requesting proposals from
qualified parties to design and build these houses and their accompanying hardscape,
amenities, and fixtures. The homes will be built or placed on tribal owned lots in Oakville
Washington. We want to build two homes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, two
homes with four bedrooms and 2+ bathrooms, and one home with five bedrooms and 2+
bathrooms. They will be built on the five individual lots listed below. The square footage
of each house should be greater than 1300 square feet. Each home will include, per
descriptions listed in this RFP, a garage or shed, fencing, porch/deck, sidewalks,
driveway, utilities, septic system, HVAC, appliances and landscaped yards. The homes
will all be turnkey projects and will be ready for the new homeowners to move in at the
completion of contract. We plan on completing these homes safely with no change orders
or delays.
