Region 17 Multiple Award Construction Contract Description of Area of Operations (AOR)

The geographic area of work includes the entire State of Alaska.

Discussion:

There are three geographic areas of emphasis under the RMACC for this region; Base Kodiak, the remainder of Region 17, and then unique and/or remote isolated locations within AK. Although this RMACC will cover the entirety of the State of Alaska it is anticipated that as one of the largest bases in the USCG, Base Kodiak will comprise the largest portion of the overall requirements issued as a result of this contract.

Base Kodiak:

Base Kodiak is a large, self-supporting USCG facility (2 million + square feet of buildings). As a location with large infrastructure and various facilities, 400+ USCG owned housing units, and a wide variety of USCG owned utilities and support systems, the requirements at Base Kodiak may require a wide range of expertise and some of these requirements will be considered technically complex.

Kodiak is expected to be the predominant location (50-75% of the work) for Region 17 work. Kodiak is an island, which has some organic capability for trades contractors.

However, specialty sub-contractors and design services do not generally exist on-island.

Remainder of D17 AOR:

These are smaller USCG units and facilities compared to Base Kodiak. Several locations (eg: Valdez, Sitka, Cordova, Homer, Petersburg) have associated USCG owned family housing and are located in small rural Alaskan communities, with very limited local construction /trades expertise, and logistical challenges. Continuous USCG presence exists at the sites, as do some local community support services.

Unique and/or remote isolated locations within AK:

These include stand alone facility components (with no associated facilities, infrastructure or continuous on site USCG presence or local community support).

These include: communications towers, helicopter landing pads, Aids to Navigation structures, and facilities at seasonal Forward Operating Locations, located in very remote locations and/or waterways. These locations typically require helicopter or vessel support for construction activities. None, or extremely limited local construction trades and expertise exist.
