About this file
This document is an Amendment 2 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-VSW-UNK-011) issued by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's Village Safe Water Program for the Unalakleet Water System Replacement Project. The solicitation seeks a contractor to complete water distribution infrastructure improvements, with a base bid and four additive alternates covering water treatment plant modifications, new water mains and service lines, hydrant assemblies, road repairs, and temporary water bypass systems. The bid is due on October 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM AST, with substantial completion extended to October 15, 2026, and final completion by October 31, 2026.
The amendment addresses several vendor questions, including material cost management, project duration, and completion timelines. The estimated project cost ranges between $20-30 million, with no specific AIS or Buy America requirements. Bidders must have a valid Alaska business license and contractor registration, and the state will provide preferences for Alaska businesses and Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE). The project involves complex logistical challenges, including barge transportation of materials and equipment, typically occurring in early to mid-June. Bidders must submit a bid guaranty of 5% of the bid amount and provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract value, with the department showing flexibility in payment terms and a preference for awarding alternatives to enable continuous workflow.

Re: Amendment 2

Unalakleet Water System Replacement Project ITB Due Date: October 9, 2025 @ 2:00 PM AST
The following are vendor questions and the department’s response and required changes:
1. Vendor: Can all the material be awarded & invoiced with the base bid to avoid material cost escalation?
Department: The department will make payment in accordance with the 00700 General Conditions of the Construction Contract. See Article 13 – Payments to Contractor and Completion. Sections such as but not limited to 13.2 Preliminary Payments and 13.5 Stored Materials and Equipment detail payment for materials. The department may revise and require the contractor to include material costs on the Schedule of Values.
2. Vendor: Can we anticipate that the alternates will be awarded to allow continuous workflow and not have to demobe / remob equipment on the barges?
Department: As budget allows, alternatives would ideally be awarded to allow continuous workflow.
3. Vendor: To budget labor and cost escalations, can we assume no more than a 5-year duration for all phases? Ideally the contract can be awarded in full so scheduling / execution could be planned with minimal mob / demobilization.
mailto:evan.patterson@alaska.gov
Department: Yes, no more than a 5-year duration for base bid and all additive alternates can be assumed.
4. Vendor: For phase1, can the substantial completion date be extended 30-days to 10-15 and final to 10-30? The typical first barge into Unalakleet is early to mid-June, so getting materials / equipment on site and finishing the work by 9-15 will be a challenge. The alternative is flying in tools and equipment before the barge which adds to the cost of the project.
Department: The substantial completion date is extended to October 15, 2026 and the final completion date is extended to October 31, 2026.
5. Vendor: Is AIS or Buy America required for this project?
Department: No.
