The Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada (ITCN), formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 1966, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tribal organization that administers various state and federal programs for the benefit of its twenty-eight member tribes. In partnership with the Walker River Paiute Tribe, ITCN issues this Request for Proposals to select a qualified Design-Build firm for a new childcare facility located on the Walker River Paiute Reservation in Schurz, Nevada.

This project is funded through the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), supported by American Rescue Plan (ARP) and Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) discretionary funds totaling approximately $2-2.5 million.

The successful firm will design and construct a fully compliant, approximately 6,600-square-foot childcare facility. We recognize that recent inflation and supply chain volatility heavily impact preliminary estimates; therefore, value engineering around the final square footage and facility finishes is expected and permitted, provided the core programmatic childcare needs are met within the fixed budget.

The total available project funding is approximately $2-2.5 million. The selected Design-Build firm shall deliver a complete, fully operational childcare facility within this budget. This procurement is for a single Design-Build contract that includes all design, construction, site development, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) required to deliver a functional facility. Proposers are expected to utilize value engineering, scope optimization, and cost control measures to align the project with the available funding. Proposals that do not demonstrate a clear approach to delivering the project within the stated budget may be deemed non-responsive.

Project assessments, surveys, maps, and required childcare facility design elements are addenda to this RFP, and are available from a public Google Drive:
