ITB 27-VSW-KMO-003 Amendment 1.pdf

This is an amendment to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Village Safe Water Program for backup generator replacement services in Manokotak. Amendment 1 extends the original ITB due date from July 24, 2026 to July 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Alaska Standard Time. The project encompasses replacement of two existing backup generators: a 12 kW Pow'R Gard unit in Old Village and a 30 kW Cummins unit in Manokotak Heights, both of which have exceeded their design life and are causing disruptions to water and sewer service during frequent power outages. An additive alternate includes furnishing a trailer-mounted backup generator for the Manokotak lift station. Substantial completion is required by November 30, 2026, with final completion by December 31, 2026. Bidders must register in writing with Procurement Specialist John McDonald to receive this and any subsequent amendments.

The engineer's estimate for the base bid ranges between $100,000 and $250,000. All bids must include a bid guaranty equal to 5% of the total bid amount, submitted as a bid bond or certified check. This wholly state-funded project qualifies for Alaska Bidder Preference (5%), Alaska Veteran Preference (up to $5,000), and Alaska Product Preference, as well as a 5% MBE/WBE preference for qualified minority and women-owned business enterprises with appropriate certification. Bidders must possess valid Alaska contractor registration and Alaska business licenses prior to award. The apparent successful bidder must execute the contract and furnish performance and payment bonds within fifteen calendar days of award notification. Bids remain valid for 120 days after opening and may be extended by mutual consent. Award is anticipated within forty days of bid opening unless delayed by bid irregularities or protests.
