A mandatory site inspection occurred June 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM at 5740 DeHavilland Avenue, Anchorage. Amendment Two is mandatory return and addresses clarification questions on scope and pricing.

Bidders must demonstrate prior experience with at least two completed winter maintenance contracts within the past five years involving service areas of at least 500,000 square feet performed 24/7 for a minimum of four consecutive months, and the bidding entity must have been continuously operating and licensed for a minimum of three years.

Lot 2 covers the parking garage roof with seasonal equipment storage (November 1 through April 1), hourly service rates for wheel loader operation, dump truck hauling, skid steer operation, pickup plow truck operation, and dedicated traffic control (250 estimated hours each), and per-occurrence sanding services (30 estimated occurrences). Bidders may submit offers for either or both lots. Sidewalk shoveling is excluded from contractor responsibilities. Sand used on parking garage roofs must not contain salt or salt brine. Maximum on-site sand storage is approximately 25 yards.
