WHOLLY STATE-FUNDED PROJECTS. On wholly state-funded projects, determination of the low bidder will include bidder preferences as required under AS 36.30.321, according to subsections 1-3 below.

1. Alaska Bidder Preference: A bidder claiming this preference shall provide with their bid an Alaska Bidder Preference Certification, certifying they qualify as an Alaska bidder eligible for Alaska Bidder Preference according to AS 36.30.

If the bidder qualifies as an Alaska bidder, a five percent (5%) preference will be applied to the price of the bid. "Alaska bidder" means a person who:

a. holds a current Alaska business license;

b. submits a bid for goods, services, or construction under the name as appearing on the person's current Alaska business license;

25D-3S (3/19) 00100-6 Page 6 of 10

2. Alaska Veteran Preference: A bidder claiming this preference shall provide an Alaska Veteran Preference Certification, certifying they qualify as an Alaska bidder eligible for Alaska Veteran preference according to AS 36.30.

If a bidder qualifies as an Alaska bidder and is a qualifying entity, an Alaska Veteran Preference of 5 percent shall be applied to the bid price. The preference may not exceed $5,000 (AS 36.30.321). A “qualifying entity” means a:

a. sole proprietorship owned by an Alaska veteran;

b. partnership under AS 32.06 or AS 32.11 if a majority of the partners are Alaska veterans;

c. limited liability company organized under AS 10.50 if a majority of the members are Alaska veterans; or

d. corporation that is wholly owned by individuals, and a majority of the individuals are Alaska veterans.

A preference under this section is in addition to any other preference for which the bidder qualifies.

To qualify for this preference, the bidder must add value by the bidder itself actually performing, controlling, managing and supervising a significant part of the services provided or the bidder must have sold supplies of the general nature solicited to other state agencies, governments, or the general public.

An Alaska veteran is a resident of Alaska who:

1) served in the Armed forces of the United States, including a reserve unit of the United States armed forces; or the Alaska Territorial Guard, the Alaska Army National Guard, the Alaska Air National Guard, or the Alaska Naval Militia; and

2) was separated from service under a condition that was not dishonorable.

3. Alaska Product Preference: A bidder claiming this preference shall complete and sign the Alaska Product Preference Worksheet, according to the worksheet instructions, and submit the completed worksheet with their bid.

25D-3S (3/19) 00100-7 Page 7 of 10

36.30.326 - 36.30.332 when the bidder designates the use of Alaska products.

If the successful bidder/contractor proposes to use an Alaska product and does not do so, a penalty will be assessed against the successful bidder/contractor according to AS 36.30.330(a).

Each Alaska product declared on the Alaska Product Preference Worksheet must have an “Approval” date on the Alaska Product Preference Program List, that is on or before the bid opening date for this contract, and that does not expire before the bid opening date for this contract.

100.016 RESPONSIBILITY OF BIDDERS

The Department may find a bidder is nonresponsible for any one of the following reasons, but is not limited in its responsibility analysis to the following factors:

1. Evidence of bid rigging or collusion;

2. Fraud or dishonesty in the performance of previous contracts;

3. More than one bid for the same work from an individual, firm, or corporation under the same or different name;

4. Unsatisfactory performance on previous or current contracts;

5. Failure to pay, or satisfactorily settle, all bills due for labor and material on previous contracts;

6. Uncompleted work that, in the judgment of the Department, might hinder or prevent the bidder’s prompt completion of additional work, if awarded;

7. Failure to reimburse the State for monies owed on any previous contracts;

8. Default under previous contracts;

9. Failure to submit evidence of registration and licensing;

10. Failure to comply with any qualification requirements of the Department;

12. Failure to satisfy the responsibility standards set out in state regulations;

13. Lack of skill, ability, financial resources, or equipment required to perform the contract;

or

14. Lack of legal capacity to contract.

Nothing contained in this section deprives the Department of its discretion in determining the lowest responsible bidder.

25D-3S (3/19) 00100-8 Page 8 of 10

100.017 SUBCONTRACTOR LIST

The apparent low bidder shall submit a completed Subcontractor List, Form 25D-5, within five working days following receipt of written notification by the Department that it is the low bidder.

An apparent low bidder who fails to submit a completed Subcontractor List form within the time allowed will be declared nonresponsible and may be required to forfeit the bid security. The Department will then consider the next lowest bidder for award of the Contract.

If a bidder fails to list a subcontractor, or lists more than one subcontractor for the same portion of work, and the value of that work is in excess of one-half of one percent of the total bid amount, the bidder agrees to perform that portion of work without a subcontractor and represents that it is qualified to perform that work.

A bidder who lists as a subcontractor another contractor who, in turn, sublets the majority of the work required under the Contract, violates this subsection.

A bidder or Contractor may, without penalty, replace a listed subcontractor who:

1) Fails to comply with licensing and registration requirements of AS 08.18;

2) Fails to obtain a valid Alaska business license;

3) Files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent;

4) Fails to execute a subcontract for performance of the work for which the subcontractor was listed, and the bidder acted in good faith;

5) Fails to obtain bonding acceptable to the Department;

6) Fails to obtain insurance acceptable to the Department;

7) Fails to perform the subcontract work for which the subcontractor was listed;

8) Must be replaced to meet the bidder's required state or federal affirmative action requirements;

9) Refuses to agree or abide with the bidder's labor agreement; or

10) Is determined by the Department to be not responsible.

In addition to the circumstances described above, a Contractor may in writing request permission from the Department to add a new subcontractor or replace a listed subcontractor. The Department will approve the request if it determines in writing that allowing the addition or replacement is in the best interest of the State.

A bidder or Contractor shall submit a written request to add a new subcontractor or replace a listed subcontractor to the Contracting Officer a minimum of five working days before the date the new subcontractor is scheduled to begin work on the construction site. The request must state the basis for the request and include supporting documentation acceptable to the Contracting Officer.

25D-3S (3/19) 00100-9 Page 9 of 10

If a bidder violates this subsection, the Contracting Officer may:

1) Cancel the Contract after Award without any damages accruing to the Department; or

2) After notice and a hearing, assess a penalty on the bidder in an amount not exceeding 10 percent of the value of the subcontract at issue.

100.018 AWARD OF CONTRACT

The Department will award the Contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder unless it rejects all bids. The Department will notify all bidders in writing via email, fax, or U.S. Mail of its intent to award.

In order to establish a clear and definitive basis of award for contracts with additive alternates, the State has established a budgeted amount from which the order of bidders will be determined. The amount will be disclosed when timely received bids are announced. The low bid will be determined by considering the basic bid and additive alternate(s) in the order listed on the Bid Schedule up to a total not to exceed the budgeted amount. The State reserves the right to reject all bids. The State also reserves the right to award the contract above or below the budgeted amount to the low bidder based on any combination of alternate(s) or no alternate(s), providing that the low bidder remains unchanged.

The Department will notify the successful bidder in writing of its intent to award the Contract and request that certain required documents, including the Contract Form, bonds, and insurance be submitted within the time specified. The successful bidder's refusal to sign the Contract and provide the requested documents within the time specified may result in cancellation of the notice of intent to award and forfeiture of the bid security.

If an award is made, it will be made as soon as practicable and usually within 40 days after bid opening. Award may be delayed due to bid irregularities or a bid protest, or if the award date is extended by mutual consent. Bids shall be valid for 120 days after bid opening, and may be extended by mutual consent.

100.019 RETURN OF BID SECURITY

The Department will return bid securities, other than bid bonds:

1. To all except the two lowest responsive and responsible bidders, as soon as practicable after the opening of bids; and

2. To the two lowest responsive and responsible bidders immediately after Contract award.

100.020 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS

The successful bidder shall furnish all required Performance and Payment Bonds on forms provided by the Department for the sums specified in the Contract. If no sum is specified, the successful bidder shall comply with AS 36.25.010. The Surety on each bond may be any corporation or partnership authorized to do business in the state as an insurer under AS 21.09 or two individual sureties approved by the Contracting Officer.

25D-3S (3/19) 00100-10 Page 10 of 10

If individual sureties are used, two individual sureties must each provide the Department with security assets located in Alaska equal to the penal amount of either the performance bond or the payment bond. Any costs incurred by the Contractor and the individual Surety are subsidiary and shall be borne by the Contractor or the individual Surety. In no event will the Department be liable for these costs.

Individual sureties shall provide security by one, or a combination, of the following methods:

1. Escrow Account, with a federally insured financial institution, in the name of the Department. Acceptable securities include, but are not limited to, cash, treasury notes, bearer instruments having a specific value, or money market certificates.

2. Irrevocable letters of credit, from a financial institution approved by the Contracting Officer, with the Department named as beneficiary.

3. Cashier’s or certified check made payable to the State of Alaska issued by financial institutions approved by the Contracting Officer.

These bonds and security assets, as applicable, shall remain in effect for 12 months after the date of final payment or, if longer, until all obligations and liens under this Contract are satisfied, including, but not limited to, obligations under General Conditions, Subsection 12.7.

The Department may, in its discretion, notify the bonding company or Surety of any potential default or liability.

The Contractor shall substitute, within five working days, another bond or surety acceptable to the Department if an individual Surety or the Surety on any bond furnished in connection with the Contract:

1. Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt;

2. Loses its right to do business in any state affecting the work;

3. Ceases to meet Contract requirements;

4. Fails to furnish reports of financial condition upon request; or

5. Otherwise becomes unacceptable to the Department.

When approved by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor may replace:

1. An individual surety with a corporate surety; or

2. Posted collateral with substitute collateral.

Failure to maintain the specified bonds or to provide substitute bonds when required under this section may be grounds for withholding contract payments until substitute bonding is obtained, and may, in the Department's discretion, be grounds for declaring the Contractor in default.
