Sample Notice of Intent to Award.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award from the State of Alaska Department of Public Safety, Division of Administrative Services, regarding a lease solicitation for hangar space in Dillingham, Alaska. The State seeks leased hangar space with minimum dimensions of 60' by 60' and a door size of at least 55' wide by 18' high to accommodate year-round, 24/7 aircraft storage for the Aircraft Section. The initial lease period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, with seven additional annual renewal options extending through September 30, 2035. The procurement officer is Olivia Jewell, and proposals were required to be submitted electronically by 1:30 p.m. Alaska Time on August 25, 2025. The notice indicates that the State has evaluated bids received and identified an apparent low bidder, with the contract award pending final approval and issuance of a formal lease award document by the procurement officer.

The evaluation criteria focuses on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on total cost over the initial three-year term and renewal options. Bidders were required to register with the procurement officer to receive notification of subsequent amendments. The hangar lease must include an AVGAS tank, secure locked facility access, an aircraft tug, and Hangar Keepers Insurance, with the contractor responsible for all utility services including heating fuel, electricity, water, sewer, and snow removal. Alaska bidder preferences apply, potentially offering percentage adjustments for veterans, military skills programs, and local business considerations. The State reserves the right to terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice, and all contract funding remains subject to annual legislative budget approval. The Notice of Intent to Award permits interested bidders to file protests within ten calendar days of the notice date through the procurement officer.
