Request for Proposals (RFP) 25APSCS0801A Juneau Warehouse Lease

The Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS), Division of Administrative Services, is seeking a lease for approximately 2,000 square feet of warehouse space in Juneau to support Alaska Public Safety Communication Services (APSCS). The desired warehouse must include specific features such as HVAC-controlled environment, an oversized garage door, extra tall ceilings to accommodate a state-owned mezzanine, two exterior vehicle parking spaces with optional head bolt heater outlets, and bathroom access. This Request for Proposals (RFP 25APSCS0801A) outlines a procurement for a warehouse lease with an initial five-year term, beginning November 1, 2025, with potential for two additional five-year renewal periods. Proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. Alaska Time on August 11, 2025, with site walkthroughs scheduled for the week of August 18, 2025. The evaluation criteria will allocate 40 points to total lease cost, using a formula that awards maximum points to the lowest total lease cost, with potential additional points for Alaska Offeror Preference. Proposals will be assessed on factors including ownership information, facility condition, environment, access, and provisions.

The RFP indicates potential preferences for Alaska-based offerors, with a possible 10-point Alaska Offeror Preference for qualifying bidders. Vendors must complete comprehensive submittal forms, including Submittal Form A for offeror information and Alaska Bidder Certification, which requires detailed disclosures about business capabilities, legal compliance, and ethical standing. The lease payments are contingent upon annual appropriation by the Alaska State Legislature, and the state reserves the right to terminate the lease if funds are not allocated. Potential annual price adjustments are limited to 35% of the base monthly lease rate, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for the Anchorage area. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the RFP suggests a firm fixed-price lease structure. Interested vendors must register with the Procurement Officer, Olivia Jewell, and comply with all specified submission requirements, including the use of prescribed submittal forms and adherence to the detailed certification processes outlined in the RFP documents.
