Kenai Courthouse Clerk's Counter Upgrades

The Alaska Court System is seeking bids for the Kenai Courthouse Clerk's Counter Upgrades, a project designated as #KEN-C-25-0017 located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) involves comprehensive renovation of the courthouse's clerk's counter, which includes demolishing the existing counter and constructing a new counter with enhanced security features. The project scope encompasses approximately 600 square feet of interior alterations, specifically focusing on installing a bullet-resistant service window, acoustic privacy screen, dimensional signage, and assessing the remote locking mechanism for the secondary lobby door. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 15th, 2025, at 1:00 PM in the courthouse lobby at 125 Trading Bay Drive, with bid submissions due on November 4th, 2025, at 12:00 PM AKST. Bidders must provide a valid Alaska Business License, contractor registration number, and bid security for proposals exceeding $100,000, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

The procurement opportunity includes preferential considerations for Alaska-based bidders, specifically those with disabilities, participating in employment programs, or veterans. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The project does not involve structural, electrical, or mechanical alterations, focusing instead on security and functional improvements. While a precise budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the counter upgrades suggests a significant investment in courthouse infrastructure and safety. Potential bidders should note that the Alaska Court System will evaluate proposals based on overall responsiveness, cost, and the ability to meet the specified security and design requirements. Contractors interested in the project must carefully review the ITB documentation and ensure compliance with all specified qualifications and submission guidelines.
