About this file
Addendum #1 to the Palmer Courthouse Expansion Project (PAL-C-26-0003), issued by the Alaska Court System on April 29, 2026, modifies the original invitation to bid for the expansion and renovation of the Palmer Courthouse located in Palmer, Alaska. The addendum changes the submittal deadline from May 25, 2026 to May 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM and introduces new requirements for Construction Management Software (CMS) that bidders must provide, configure, and maintain as a cloud-based, integrated system of record for construction phase documentation. The CMS platform must support multi-user, role-based access for Owner, Architect/Engineer, Contractor, Construction Manager, and Consultants; be accessible via web browser and mobile applications; and include functional capabilities for document management, submittals and shop drawings, RFIs, field management, meetings, change management, and project closeout. The contractor must configure the CMS within 14 days of Notice to Proceed, upload baseline documents, configure user permissions, provide training to the Owner and project team, and deliver a complete electronic archive to the Owner within 30 days of project completion. The addendum clarifies that the expansion will be incorporated into the existing Siemens DDC System. The overall project scope encompasses four areas of work: Area M (new jury assembly building—a one-story, approximately 30'x50' addition with slab-on-grade foundation, wood structural framing, standing-seam metal roof, and associated site and exterior work); Area C (renovation of the Palmer State Office Building Connector to support court functions including a new courtroom and renovated hybrid courtrooms); Area B (renovation of the Palmer State Office Building Basement for therapeutic court spaces, secure file storage, and support spaces); and Area P (existing courthouse renovation including judge's offices and three courtrooms).
The project involves comprehensive construction including selective demolition, new construction, architectural finishes, fire and life safety systems, mechanical systems (HVAC, heating, controls with DDC/BAS integration), plumbing systems, electrical systems, security systems, and audiovisual system rough-ins across all four areas. No pricing information is specified in the addendum itself; however, the related contract opportunity indicates an estimated contract value of $4,950,000.00 for the base bid and all associated alternates. The mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection is scheduled for May 6, 2026 at 10:30 AM at the Palmer Courthouse; the deadline for contractor questions is 10 calendar days prior to bid submission. On-site work must commence no later than August 15, 2026, with substantial completion required within 6.5 months of commencement and final completion due no later than October 31, 2027. The contractor must submit a detailed technical offer demonstrating understanding of project scope, existing site conditions, work sequencing, and staffing coordination, and must provide references for three similar completed renovation projects in occupied facilities. Alaska bidders may claim preferences up to 5 percent over the lowest non-resident bid, with additional preferences available for Alaskans with disabilities, employment programs, Alaska veterans, Alaska products, and recycled products. The contractor must perform at least 10 percent of total work with direct employees and comply with Alaska Davis-Bacon wage requirements. Required insurance includes minimum general liability of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate, workers' compensation, automobile liability of $1,000,000, and builder's risk insurance; performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount are required; and bid security of 5 percent of the total bid amount is mandatory. All invoicing must be completed prior to June 30, 2027.
