The amendment modifies the service trigger mechanism across all seven lots from a fixed threshold of 2 to 3 inches of snow accumulation to an on-call basis initiated when the Terminal Manager or Designee determines services are needed. The amendment affects Section 2.01 Scope of Work, specifically Section 1 (Summary), Section 2 (Services, Task 1), and Section 4 (Performance, Subsection C). Bids must be received by the Division of Program Management & Administrative Services prior to the October 16, 2026, 2:00 P.M. Alaska Standard Time bid opening. The contract term runs from approximately October 30, 2026, through October 29, 2027, with options for four additional one-year renewal terms at the state's discretion. Bidders may submit bids for any combination of the seven lots on an hourly basis for each task, with compensation limited to actual hours worked.

For bid consideration, this mandatory amendment must be received and acknowledged by bidders in addition to their original bid submissions. The scope encompasses plowing of parking lots, handicapped parking areas, and vehicle staging areas, plus sanding of designated areas as directed by terminal managers. Anticipated work occurs from October through April annually or as needed based on snowfall conditions. Multiple Alaska-specific vendor preferences apply, including Alaska Bidder Preference (5%), Alaska Veteran Preference (5%, not to exceed $5,000), Alaska Military Skills Program Preference (2%, not to exceed $5,000), Employment Program Preference (15%), and Alaskans with Disabilities Preference (10%).
