About this file
This is Addendum #2 to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Alaska Department of Corrections, Division of Administrative Services, for the refurbishment of the gymnasium at Yukon Kuskokwim Correctional Center (YKCC) in Bethel, Alaska. The project involves selective demolition, cementitious floor work, metal fabrications, hollow metal doors and frames, gypsum board restoration, resilient flooring installation, and gymnasium equipment including basketball goals, backboards, and wall safety padding. On-site work is scheduled for seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with no overtime permitted without Department of Corrections approval. The original bid deadline of February 18, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time was extended to February 25, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time per this addendum. A site visit was available upon request, and the plan holders list identifies 16 companies that received bid documents, with several highlighted as having attended the site visit. Substantial completion is required by September 30, 2026, with final completion by October 31, 2026.
This addendum addresses 22 questions and clarifications submitted by bidders and the Department, covering specifications for basketball equipment supports, wall construction details, door thickness modifications from 2 inches to standard 1-3/4-inch hollow metal doors, column padding requirements and attachment methods, floor tile patching responsibilities, handrail specifications, telephone wall carpet and cover plate installations, bunk patching procedures, and other technical scope items. The engineer's estimate ranges from $350,000 to $420,000, with payment and performance bonds required at 100 percent of the contract amount and a five percent bid guaranty mandatory. No city building permit is required. Contractors must comply with correctional facility security protocols, pass background checks, and comply with Prison Rape Elimination Act policies. Registration with procurement officer Michael Lim is required to receive addenda, with failure to register potentially resulting in proposal rejection.

Addendum # Two (2)
This addendum forms a part of the contract documents and modifies the original drawings and/or specifications for the subject work. In case of conflicts between this addendum and previously issued documents, this addendum shall take precedence.
1. Attached is the Plan holders List for this project (5 page). The company names that are highlighted in yellow attended the site visit upon request.
The following are questions from interested parties and the department ‘s response.
1. Can you please provide the contractor with a basis of design for the basketball equipment, i.e. supports, backboard, and rim/hoop?
A: Specification section 11 66 23 paragraph 2.2, A offers three providers who supply and design supports for basketball goal components. The contractor is to select one of the listed suppliers (or an equivalent supplier) and using the remaining structure reconstruct the goal support assembly.
2. What are the working hours expected to be for this project? i.e. Mon-Sun 6AM-6PM?
A: On-site work shall be 7 days a week, from 7:00 AM until 5:00 PM Changes to the work schedule are left to the local staff discretion.
3. What is the existing wall construction at the restrooms where the openings need to be modified for larger doors/frames? 2x wood studs? Metal stud framing? Lathe wire studs?
A: The Record Drawings show the construction on both sides of the wall to be veneer plaster on ½” gypsum lath, ½” plywood on 3-5/8” metal studs.
4. The door/window schedule on A2.1 calls out 2” thick doors. Standard door thickness is 1-3/4”. Can you please provide the contractor with a basis of design for the new doors?
A: See section 081113 for hollow metal doors and frames. These doors are not scheduled to be security doors (2”) but rather 1-3/4” heavy hollow metal. Door schedule is to be modified from 2” to 1-3/4”.
5. Photo 7 on sheet A1.3 shows “WALL TO BE REMOVED” but it is unclear from the photo and accompanying solicitation/drawing package what wall is supposed to be removed. Please clarify which wall is to be removed.
A: Note to remove wall is a remnant from an earlier design. Please disregard the note about the wall mailto:Michael.lim@alaska.gov to be removed.
6. Note 1 on A1.1 states to provide new safety padding to all columns around perimeter of basketball court…, There appears to be 5 additional columns on the drawings not indicated to receive padding, 2 of which are on the plan west wall in the corners of the basketball court. Should all 5 of these additional columns also be padded, only the 2 in the corner near the basketball court, or none?
A: As noted, “all columns around perimeter of basketball court” are to receive padding. Our intention is to keep prisoners from hurting themselves by running into unprotected steel columns. On the round concrete columns we suggested using their standard French cleats to support the padding on both sides of the column and have them manufacture a portion of the pad without the backing to bend around the round column. Double stick tape would be used to adhere the curved portion of the column protection in place.
7. Where padding is required for columns, how shall the contractor attach padding at columns where there is no space to wrap and secure padding around the column? Please provide the required method of attachment for the padding.
A: The question falls into the “contractors means and methods” but out of curiosity we called the first listed manufacture and were told, there is a 1 inch flange at the top and bottom of the pad that is screwed through the column wrap into the steel sub-straight.
8. Some of the existing VCT tiles in the gym are chipped/missing corners. Is the contractor responsible for patching existing damaged floor tile? If so, using the cementitious floor patch?
A: The contractor is only responsible to fill the existing screw holes.
9. What is the required height for new wall at relocated officer podium? Match the existing height, wood top cap, wood trim, etc.?
A: The new wall is to match the height and construction of the existing walls around the elevated platform as keynote 4 suggests. Please provide a steel pipe rail. Handrail must be located 34–38 inches vertically above the nosing of the treads and have a graspable diameter of 1-1/2 to 2 inches and maintain a minimum 1-1/2-inch clearance from the wall.
10. Note 4 on A1.1 states to provide new handrail at officer podium to match existing. Is the existing handrail just the sloped wall with cap?
A: Please see response to question 9 regarding handrail.
11. Note 5 on A1.1 states to provide new carpet on telephone wall and to provide cover plate for telephone electrical connection. Note D on A1.1 states to remove existing telephone assembly & wall carpet and patch holes in wall and prep for new carpet. Please clarify:
a. Will telephones be re-installed on wall, are blank cover plates to be used instead of re-installing phones, are the telephone electrical boxes to be patched and covered with carpet?
A: Remove the existing wall carpet and telephone cover plates. Prepare wall sub-straight to receive new wall carpet. Install new wall carpet around existing telephone receptacles. Once wall carpet is in place install blank stainless steel cover plates using specified security fasteners. Treat each cover plate screw with Loctite blue. Telephones are not to be reinstalled.
12. At site visit it was stated that the bunks, tables, and benches that are being removed from the gym are to be stored in a container on site. Will the State be providing the storage container or will the contractor need to provide the storage container?
A: The State is to provide the container(s) for the stored bunks, tables and benches.
13. Finish Schedule Note 1 on A2.1 states to “…paint all surfaces and columns to match existing”. Is the contractor to interpret this note to mean that the entire gym, including ceiling, bathrooms and shower areas will need to be painted?
A: Paint only surfaces that have been disturbed by construction, but the entire disrupted component is to be painted. For example, the walls that the new bathroom doors are to be installed in are to be painted from the floor (or top of FRP) to the ceiling. The new steel structure that will support the basketball goals is to be painted if not factory coated. If field painted, the entire assembly is to be painted, not just the new components.
14. Finish Schedule Note 2 on A2.1 states to “Patch and make good, damaged wall carpet in gym”. Is the contractor to interpret this to mean all damaged wall carpet in gym will need to be patched and made good, or just the damaged carpet on the telephone wall?
A: At this time limit the extent of new wall carpet to the wall where the telephones are located. Once construction begins other areas may be added by change order.
15. In detail 5 on A2.1 an estimate of 81 bunks is provided for the contractor to use in estimating amount of hole patch work. During the site visit the contractor was granted access to one cell which contained 6 bunks. 2 bunks required no patching, 2 bunks required 8 patches, and 2 bunks require full sheets to be welded.
Given that the amount of required patching seems to vary substantially, can the contractor be provided with a quantity of patches and full sheets required for estimation purposes?
A: Please provide full sheets to all bunks. This approach is thought to be less time consuming and will reduce the potential of one of the patches to come loose and allow someone to hurt themselves on a sharp corner or edge.
16. Will this project require a City of Bethel building permit?
A: No permit will be required. The gymnasium was the original permitted use and we are not changing any of the egress routes.
17. YKCC On-Site Work Schedule Limitations state that “On-site work shall be 7 days a week, from 7:00AM until 5:00PM.” It also states “No overtime allowed unless approved by the DOC.” Is the contractor allowed to work a 10-hour workday seven days a week, with the understanding that any work over 8 hours in a day, or more than 40 hours in a week, constitutes overtime?
A: On-site work shall be 7 days a week, from 7:00 AM until 5:00 PM Changes to the work schedule are left to the local staff discretion
18. In photo 7, it points to a wall and says wall to be removed. Can you specify the total footage of the wall to be removed?
A: Note to remove wall is a remnant from an earlier design. Please disregard the note about the wall to be removed.
19. For the bed batches, how many bunks have more than 6 holes that will need a full sheet welded on?
A: See note 15 for response.
20. On the phone wall, are the existing phones to be remounted after new carpet is installed? Is there a specific phone jack/cover plate?
A: See note 11. Telephones are not to be reinstalled and the cover plates are to be blank stainless steel cover plates fastened with security screws.
21. Do the doors in the staff bathrooms need to be installed by a certified detention technician? Or for any other scope of work?
A: The new doors are commercial hollow metal and do not need to be installed by a specialty contractor.
22. Do you want new mounting hardware for the basketball goals or can we use the existing?
A: Any of the existing structure that meets the structural requirements of the goal manufacturer is encouraged to be reused.
23. Is power available in the detention area for welding and ventilation equipment?
A: 115v power is available in the dorms.
