The Hualapai Infrastructure Program is a transformational bundle of more than 30 projects being rapidly delivered to enhance the quality of life for all Hualapai and preserve its heritage for future generations. The program includes projects for water, transportation, community recreation, tribal facilities, and capacity building/planning/operations and maintenance.
It is part of a federal pilot program using an alternative delivery method known as Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC). This is a collaborative process between owners, designers, and contractors to plan, design, and construct projects. This approach is proven to attract qualified bidders who can deliver high quality projects while simultaneously saving time and money.
The program investments will deliver on the foresight and vision of several tribal councils and staff to identify, plan, fund and deliver critically needed infrastructure and services for the tribe.
The selected program management team is made up of seasoned experts with a track record of successfully delivering water, transportation, and infrastructure projects using the alternative delivery method to eight other tribes including Gila River, Pueblo of Acoma, Pawnee, CSKT, Cahilla, Seminole, Kawerak, and Eyak.
The tribal council approved this approach at the tribal council meeting in May 2024.
The first projects to be delivered will include the community recreation park, administration building, Diamond Creek Road Railroad Overpass, Youth Camp Road improvements, a new veterans memorial, Safe Streets for All, and environmental planning for the Hualapai Water Rights pipeline.
