The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi islocated in Shelbyville, Michigan. The Tribe’s reservation is in Allegan County with many Citizens located throughout Southern Michigan. The Tribe has an existing health center known as Gun Lake Tribe Health and Human Services(“HHS”) located at 2880 Mission Drive, Shelbyville. For purposes of this RFQ/P, ‘Health Center’ refers to the Gun Lake Tribe Health
and Human Services facility.
The Tribe intends to complete master planning to identify additional programs, services,
space, and staffing needs as part of the planning to evaluate the feasibility of expansion and
renovation of the existing health center versus construction of a new health center,
including market research, data analysis, strategic planning and business planning. The
current facility was constructed in 2015 and is approximately 16,000 square feet. It houses
healthcare-related programs. The Tribe has outgrown the current healthcare space that is
now undersized and lacks capacity to offer the appropriate range of health care services to
adequately serve its service area user population. It also lacks adequate space to add
additional programs and does not have adequate areas for maintenance and storage. The
Tribe seeks to evaluate the potential for additional programs and services as part of the
expansion project, including but not limited to Urgent Care; Radiology (Mammography,
Ultrasound, and Mobile CT/MRI); Laboratory Services; Dental Clinic; Optometry;
Audiology; Prenatal Care; Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy; Occupational
Health; Specialty Medical Services; Hemodialysis; Skilled Homecare Services; Expanded
Substance Use Disorder treatment and recovery programs; Traditional and Alternative
Healing services; and a Community Fitness Center, along with expansion of existing
programs, as well as other programs and services as identified through data analysis,
community input, and the master planning process. The planning shall include development
of a business plan to evaluate expansion of existing programs along with development of
new programs for both Tribal Citizens, those individuals with close social and economic
ties to the Tribe (Tribal employees and families/spouses of Tribal Citizens), and the local
communities.
