About this file
This document is an Amendment (Number Two) to Invitation to Bid (ITB) Number 2526S014 issued by the State of Alaska's Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, Statewide Contracting & Procurement for Culinary Training for Vessel Crew. The amendment, dated October 28, 2025, provides responses to vendor questions and is mandatory for bidders to return, with a bid due date of November 3, 2025 at 2:00 PM Alaska Time. The amendment clarifies details about the culinary training program, including training capacities and logistics for vessel-based instruction.
The amendment reveals key operational details about the training program, including that training will occur on different sized vessels with varying kitchen crew sizes (4-6 on mainliners, 2-4 on smaller vessels). The Hotel Training Ship can accommodate up to 12 participants in a classroom setting, but only 4 students can practically train in the galley simultaneously. Training will primarily be on-the-job during the workday, with instructors and crew working around split shifts that typically involve 12-hour workdays. An additional benefit is that both instructors and crew will have WiFi access during training, enabling digital training material access while underway.

Questions and Answers
Question #1:
What is the maximum number of trainees that would be expected at each training session? i.e. what is the training capacity of the Hotel Training Ship? And what is the typical kitchen crew size of the other ships where training will occur?
Answer #1 The training size will vary depending on the vessel as we have different sized vessels. Typical kitchen crew size is 4 to 6 on the mainliners, 2 to 4 on smaller vessels. We can have up to 12 participants at the Hotel Ship, in classroom setting…but the galley is smaller so 4 would be the maximum number of students we can have in the hotel ship galley, for practical skill training, not counting the trainers.
Question #2:
During the training that will take place on vessels on the run (at sea) will there be dedicated training time for culinary instruction or is the expectation that training will be on the job training during the work day?
Answer #2 Primarily on-the-job training during the workday. There would be a need to work around the crew’s schedule as they work split shifts on overlapping basis.
