Request for Proposals for Tribal Housing Drainage/Playground Project (Posted 11/20/2024)
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) is seeking proposals for the mitigation of drainage issues and restoration of landscape on Tribal property in Aquinnah, MA.
Due largely to road runoff and landscape grading issues, the Natural Resources Department has been working with an engineering contractor to find solutions for flooding in the playground area of Tribal Housing. During a heavy rain event, the playground area becomes flooded, as do the basements of housing units. For the housing units, this creates increased moisture and mold issues, resulting in direct health concerns. The Department has been developing a plan to work with the Housing Authority to re-grade this area and redirect the runoff to existing catch basins.
In order to mitigate the drainage issues in this area, we need to:
File for and acquire permits to do the work needed
Recontour the property
Re-grade and rebuild the area in order to re-route the hydrologic flow
Install additional catch basin(s) to remove roadway runoff
Install roadway edge to prevent overflow onto grass area
Install swale along roadway edge if required based on engineering survey and in field findings.
Replant the newly regraded area with native plants and restore the grass space for use by the residents.
The bids will be reviewed as received. Please label all proposals: “Tribal Housing Drainage/Playground Project RFP”. Bids will be reviewed at the Tribal administration building during regular work hours as received. The bid will remain open until filled. Letters of interest may be mailed to: Natural Resources Department, 20 Black Brook Road, Aquinnah, MA 02535; faxed to 508 645-3790; or emailed to isa@wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov.

Request for Proposals - Invasive Species Management
Posted 11/20/2024
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) is seeking proposals for the development of a management plan to remove the encroaching invasive species, replace those species with native plants, and maintain the area until the native species is fully reestablished.
The Tribe also seeks proposals to implement the plan, once it has been developed.
The goal of this project is to support the removal of invasive plant species and to restore the existing landscape to a more natural and self-sustaining form, removing invasive nuisance plants and replanting the area utilizing native plants that support the prevention of shoreline erosion and encourage native edible landscape species.
Restored conditions in the designated areas will:
Provide natural green infrastructure that improves water quality along the watershed area;
Create an adequate buffer for non-point source pollution and wellhead protection;
Create an adequate environment that supports native habitat for numerous wildlife species;
Provide native sustenance foods for all species present in the area. Examples might include, but are not limited to: blackberries, elder, blueberries, rosehips.
The Contractor will work directly with the Natural Resources Department staff.
The bids will be reviewed as received. Please label all proposals: “Invasive Species Management RFP”. Bids will be reviewed at the Tribal administration building during regular work hours as received. The bid will remain open until filled. Letters of interest may be mailed to: Natural Resources Department, 20 Black Brook Road, Aquinnah, MA 02535; faxed to 508 645-3790; or emailed to isa@wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov.
