This is a cost proposal form for RFP 18-820-26, issued by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Division of Water. The solicitation requests proposals to conduct water-quality sampling and data management in the Tongass Narrows to assess water quality and trends, identify potential pollution sources, and support environmental management efforts. The project encompasses three primary tasks: Planning (3.01.01), Sampling (3.01.02), and Results (3.01.03). The contract period runs approximately from the week of April 6, 2026, through June 30, 2028. Proposals must be received no later than 1:00 p.m. prevailing Alaska Daylight Time on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, via email timestamp. Prospective bidders who did not receive the solicitation directly from the State's Procurement Officer must register with Heather Zepp, Procurement Specialist 3, at DECDASPROCUREMENT@alaska.gov, providing company name, representative's name and title, email address, and phone number to ensure receipt of any subsequent amendments.

The cost proposal form requires detailed pricing breakdowns organized by labor, equipment, and expenses across all three project tasks, with line items for quantity and cost calculations. Proposers must submit fixed fees and total project costs in the prescribed format without modifications or additions, as non-responsive designations will be assigned to proposals that deviate from the required form structure. The form includes spaces for company information, authorized personnel signatures, and submission date, with all cost data prepared for the DEC/Water department under revision 6-20 of the cost proposal template.
