Eielson AFB Repairs to Utilidors and Related Systems

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Alaska District has established a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for design, construction, and repair services focused on utilidors and related systems in Alaska. The contract vehicle, valued at $200 million, is primarily designed to support infrastructure maintenance and upgrades at military installations, with a specific emphasis on Eielson Air Force Base and surrounding Alaskan locations. The scope encompasses a wide range of utility infrastructure work, including design-build and fully designed construction projects involving sewer, water, steam, electrical, and communication systems, as well as specialized tasks such as utility line repairs, manhole modifications, and environmental remediation services.

Task orders under this IDIQ have typically ranged from approximately $1.3 million to $35 million, with performance periods extending up to three to four years. Prime contractors have included Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small businesses such as Brice Civil Constructors, Inc., Patrick Mechanical, LLC, and Derian/Occ Joint Venture. While most recent task orders did not utilize specific set-asides, the original solicitation was a total small business set-aside targeting businesses in the water and sewer line construction sector. The U.S. Department of Defense, specifically the Army Installation Management Command and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, have been the primary funding agencies. Performance locations have been predominantly in Alaska, including Eielson Air Force Base, Black Rapids Training Site, and Cape Lisburne, with work focusing on critical infrastructure repairs, system replacements, and utility infrastructure upgrades.
