Quick Summary

The Indian Health Service (IHS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Presolicitation Notice for the Rosebud Lift Station Construction project in Rosebud, SD. This project involves the full removal and replacement of the existing sewer lift station serving the Rosebud complex, including the hospital, quarters, and tribal program buildings. The new lift station will be designed to accommodate current and future expansion needs. This opportunity is designated as an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) Set-Aside. The estimated construction magnitude is between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a 120-calendar day period of performance. Responses are due by March 2, 2026.

Purpose & Scope of Work

The existing lift station, in place since the early 1990s, is experiencing frequent pump failures due to unanticipated growth from hospital expansion and new tribal programs. The project's goal is to increase the capacity of the wet well, switch to more robust chopper pumps to handle random objects, and install a new control system for monitoring. The scope includes the full removal and demolition of the existing wet well, dry well, pumps, and piping, followed by the construction of a new lift station with a wet well, dry well, chopper pumps, force main connection, and a new control system. The new station will take the full sanitary load and be sized for future expansion.
