ADF&G RFQ 1126248 B - Susitna Landing Boat Launch Ramp Dredging

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 1126248 B for dredging services at the Susitna Landing boat launch facility in Willow, Alaska. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to remove approximately 300 cubic yards of silt and sediment that has accumulated in the boat ramp following fall flooding and high-water events. All excavated materials must be loaded into dump trucks and deposited at a designated upland site within the Susitna Landing facility to prevent sediment reintroduction into the Kashwitna River, with the riverbed within dredged areas sloped to drain into the active river channel to prevent fish entrapment during low-water periods. Qualified contractors must possess an excavator and the capability to complete all work by June 15, 2026. The quotation process requires submission of sealed bids via email to dfg.contracting@alaska.gov with a deadline of May 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM AKST, with quotes remaining firm for 90 days from the opening date. Pricing must be submitted in U.S. funds on an FOB destination basis and must include all delivery charges, labor, equipment, and associated costs, excluding applicable taxes. The State of Alaska will issue payment within 30 days of receipt of proper billing or delivery of services, whichever is later.

The State of Alaska applies multiple preference programs to this procurement, including a 5% Alaska Bidder Preference for qualifying vendors, a 5% Alaska Veteran Preference, a 2% Alaska Military Skills Program Preference, a 15% Employment Program Preference, and a 10% Alaskans with Disabilities Preference. The RFQ does not specify site visit or bidders' conference requirements, and no incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The not-to-exceed budget for this project is $12,000.00, with any quotes exceeding this threshold subject to automatic rejection. Interested contractors should direct inquiries to Procurement Officer Eric Verrelli at eric.verrelli@alaska.gov. The compressed timeline from issue date (May 6, 2026) to quote due date (May 15, 2026) provides nine days for contractors to prepare and submit their quotations.
