INTRODUCTION & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Spokane Tribe of Indians (STOI) is requesting proposals from qualified Architecture and Engineering firms to provide a feasibility assessment and professional design services for a Fisheries Administration and Warehouse Facility. The Spokane Tribe of Indians is a federally recognized sovereign governmental entity established through Executive Order of the President of the United States on January 18, 1881. The Spokane Tribe of Indians’ vision is to achieve true sovereignty by attaining selfsufficiency. We will preserve and enhance our traditional values by living and teaching the inherent principles of respect, honor, and integrity as embodied in our language and lifeways. We will utilize effective stewardship of our human, financial and natural resources. We will develop strong leadership through education, accountability, experience and positive reinforcement. There is a central administrative unit headquarters in Wellpinit, Washington. In Wellpinit we administer 214 programs which provide services to tribal members and other local area community members. The Spokane Tribe of Indians (STOI) Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Program seeks proposals from qualified multidisciplinary consulting teams to complete a comprehensive Fisheries Facility Feasibility and Site Suitability Study for the future development of a Spokane Tribal Fisheries Facility in the vicinity of Airway Heights, Washington. The Spokane Tribe’s Fisheries Program has experienced sustained growth in staffing, scientific capability, habitat restoration, fisheries research, field operations, and regional partnerships. Existing facilities no longer adequately support current operational requirements or anticipated future growth. Beyond these operational needs, this project represents an important investment in the long-term stewardship of one of the Spokane Tribe’s defining cultural and natural resources. For countless generations, the Spokane people maintained a profound relationship with the salmon that returned annually to Spokane Falls and throughout the Spokane River watershed. That relationship shaped subsistence practices, governance, trade, ceremony, and the Tribe’s enduring connection to place. Today, as salmon restoration efforts continue throughout the Upper Columbia Basin, the Spokane Tribe is reaffirming this relationship through fisheries science, habitat restoration, education, and resource stewardship. Increasingly, Tribal citizens are reclaiming an understanding of themselves as The Salmon People, recognizing fisheries not simply as a governmental program, but as an expression of Spokane identity, responsibility, and continuity. Research on Indigenous Nation Building—including the work of Stephen Cornell, Joseph P. Kalt, Miriam Jorgensen, and others—demonstrates that enduring Tribal institutions are most successful when they reflect the history, values, culture, and governing traditions of the nations they serve. Consistent with these principles, the Spokane Tribe views this project as an investment in sovereign institutional capacity as much as physical infrastructure. While many fisheries facilities primarily support scientific research or regulatory functions, the Spokane Tribe’s Fisheries Facility must also serve as an institution of cultural continuity, sovereign resource stewardship, and intergenerational knowledge transfer. The consultant selected through this RFP will therefore be asked to evaluate not only the technical requirements of a modern fisheries facility, but also how that facility can support the Tribe’s long-term mission of scientific excellence, ecological stewardship, education, and the perpetuation of Spokane identity through self-determined fisheries management. The Tribe has identified funding to initiate planning activities and recognizes that this effort represents the first phase of a larger capital investment program that will ultimately include facility master planning, architectural and engineering design, and construction. This study is intended to establish the technical, operational, financial, and site-specific foundations necessary to support future Tribal decision-making and external funding opportunities. There is no expressed or implied obligation for the Spokane Tribe of Indians to reimburse responding firms for any expenses incurred in preparing proposals in response to this Request for Proposal. Proposal pricing shall remain valid for a period of ninety (90) days from the proposal’s due date. The Spokane Tribe of Indians reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted, waive informalities, request clarification of information submitted, and negotiate with the proposer(s) determined to be in the best interest of the Tribe. Submission of a proposal indicates acceptance of the conditions contained in this Request for Proposal unless specifically noted otherwise in the proposal and agreed to by the Spokane Tribe of Indians. Nothing in this RFP, any proposal, any award notice, any negotiation, or any resulting contract shall be construed as a waiver of the sovereign immunity of the Spokane Tribe of Indians, its agencies, departments, officials, employees, enterprises, or instrumentalities. II. PROJECT PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of developing a centralized Fisheries Facility capable of supporting the Spokane Tribe’s fisheries research, resource management, habitat restoration, administration, education, and field operations for generations to come. The study shall: • • Evaluate operational needs across the Fisheries Division. Engage stakeholders representing all Fisheries program areas. • • • • • Assess potential development sites. Develop a comprehensive facility program. Prepare conceptual development alternatives. Establish planning-level construction and total project cost estimates. Recommend an implementation strategy supporting future design, funding, and construction. The Spokane Tribe intends that this facility support a Fisheries Division capable of serving future generations through scientific research, fisheries management, habitat restoration, education, cultural stewardship, and the perpetuation of Indigenous knowledge. Accordingly, the feasibility study shall consider not only current operational requirements, but also the long-term institutional capacity necessary to fulfill the Tribe’s responsibilities as stewards of fisheries resources throughout its ancestral homelands. III. EXISTING VISION The Spokane Tribe has developed preliminary facility concepts intended to initiate planning discussions (Attachment A). Current concepts include: • • • • • • Two climate-controlled pull-through equipment buildings capable of housing research vessels and tow vehicles. Approximately seven pull-through bays within each equipment building. Approximately 10,000 square feet of office, laboratory, meeting, and administrative space. Secure exterior equipment storage. Adequate maneuvering space for trucks and trailered research vessels. Capacity for future program expansion. These concepts are intended to inform—but not predetermine—the outcome of this study. Consultants shall evaluate these preliminary concepts through stakeholder engagement, operational analysis, industry best practices, and site suitability assessments. The final facility program shall reflect documented operational need across the Fisheries Division rather than preconceived building sizes or configurations. IV. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The selected consultant shall assist the Spokane Tribe in answering the following questions: • What operational functions must the facility support? • • • • • What facilities are required to support current and future Fisheries operations? What site characteristics best support long-term operations? What facility size and program best meet documented operational needs? What are the anticipated construction and total project costs? What implementation strategy best positions the Tribe for future funding and phased development? V.
