IFQ: 26-25SC-1-001 Akhiok Airport Maintenance

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) Southcoast Region is requesting quotes for routine summer and winter maintenance of Akhiok Airport, with quotes due June 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The contract carries a 5% Alaska Bidder preference for qualified Alaska-based contractors and an additional 5% Alaska Veteran's preference if applicable (not to exceed $5,000).

The scope encompasses all labor, tools, and local supervision for preventative maintenance on DOT&PF-owned equipment, building structures, and roadways at the airport facility, including runways, taxiways, aprons, safety areas, access roads, lighting systems, wind cones, and state buildings. Airfield lighting maintenance must comply with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5340-26C, which mandates preventive maintenance inspection schedules, maintenance record retention, electrical safety protocols aligned with NFPA 70E, and use of original equipment manufacturer parts for FAA-approved equipment. Contractors must maintain a valid Alaska business license under NAICS code 488190 (Support Activities for Air Transportation); carry workers' compensation insurance; and provide general liability and commercial automobile liability coverage each with minimum $300,000 limits.

The estimated project cost is between $100,001 and $200,000 with an initial contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State may renew the contract for up to five additional one-year periods by mutual written agreement. Contractors awarded the contract must furnish performance and payment bonds at 50% of contract value each. Annual price adjustments based on Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) are permitted upon written request 30 days prior to renewal dates. No Davis-Bacon wages apply, as this is a state-funded project with no federal funding. The Department reserves the right to terminate the contract with seven days' notice for non-compliance, unsuitable work performance, or insufficient legislative funding.
