ITB 2525C072-F E-1 Aggregate Kenai Peninsula – Federally Funded

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2525C072-F for the procurement of E-1 Aggregate in the Kenai Peninsula Borough's Central Region, with bids due on April 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM Alaska Time. The solicitation seeks the purchase and delivery/stockpile of approximately 12,760 tons of E-1 Aggregate on an as-needed basis, with delivery specifications requiring 1,500 tons per day to Skilak Lake Road between Mile Post 16-18.8 using exclusively Belly or Side dump trucks. Contractors must provide advance notice and coordinate delivery with the state representative, with the contract period running from award (anticipated around May 6, 2025) through September 15, 2025, and potential month-to-month extensions. The federally funded contract requires strict compliance with federal regulations, including mandatory documentation such as a Material Origin Certificate and Certificate of Buy America Act Compliance. Bidders must possess a valid Alaska business license and be prepared to submit comprehensive documentation upon contract award.

The procurement emphasizes non-discrimination, with the DOT&PF explicitly ensuring that disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The contract requires contractors to maintain specific insurance coverages, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Commercial Automobile Liability, with minimum coverage limits of $300,000 per occurrence. As a federally funded contract, no state bidder or product preferences will apply, and contractors must adhere to Buy America provisions. The solicitation accommodates individuals with disabilities, offering auxiliary aids and special modifications for procurement participation, provided requests are made at least ten days prior to bid opening. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement of 12,760 tons of aggregate suggests a substantial project scope with potential for significant financial opportunity for qualifying bidders who can meet the technical and regulatory requirements.
