The document outlines the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for an irrigation maintenance property located at the Pima Agency Headquarters in Albuquerque, NM. It includes detailed floor plans for three structures labeled Building #51, Building #98, and Building #T5, specifying their dimensions and purposes, such as irrigation shops and offices. Building #51 covers 278 square feet, Building #98 is 4,000 square feet, and Building #T5 serves as an office at 1,904 square feet. The assessment is part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' efforts through its Office of Facilities Management and Construction (OFMC) to ensure proper management and maintenance of facilities. This file is relevant for federal grants and state or local RFPs related to facility management and maintenance projects, supporting compliance with operational standards and environmental regulations.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is preparing to transfer three buildings to the Gila River Indian Community and requires comprehensive environmental assessments to ensure safety and compliance. The project entails three primary evaluations: a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), a Comprehensive Asbestos Survey, and a Lead Based Paint Inspection for the properties located in Sacaton, Arizona.
The Phase I ESA will adhere to ASTM E1527-21 standards, while the asbestos survey must comply with ASTM E2356-14, involving sampling and analysis by accredited laboratories. Specific parameters detail the quantity of asbestos-containing material samples to be collected from each building, estimated to be 15 for Building 98, 3 for Building 51, and 10 for Building T5. For lead-based paint, inspections will utilize X-Ray Fluorescence techniques, avoiding paint chip sampling, conducted by licensed professionals.
Deliverables include a draft of the reports within 60 days post-approval and a final report within 90 days of proceeding, detailing inspection procedures, results, conclusions, and necessary recommendations. This initiative emphasizes the BIA's commitment to environmental safety and regulatory adherence in the management of government properties prior to their transfer.
The document outlines the requirements for entities applying for contracts under the Buy Indian Act, emphasizing that self-certification is necessary to qualify as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE).

Furthermore, submitting false or misleading information can lead to legal penalties under relevant U.S. codes. The form includes sections for basic project information and signatures certifying compliance with IEE definitions, necessitating details like the name of the federally recognized tribal entity and the owner of the enterprise. This process ensures that federal contracting opportunities prioritize eligible Native American businesses, promoting economic growth within Indian communities. The document serves as a critical guideline for agencies in managing compliance with the Buy Indian Act while supporting the objectives of government RFPs and grants targeted at Native enterprises.
