RFI 2526H325 Airside Ramp Snow Removal Services (ANC)

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT & PF), Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), is issuing RFI 2526H325 to solicit industry feedback on contractor availability, capability, and interest in providing airside ramp snow removal services for the 2026–2027 winter season, with responses due June 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Alaska Time. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee future procurement.

The scope covers snow removal operations on approximately 5.5 million square feet of airside pavement, with common-use ramp areas (approximately 85 percent of the footprint) as the primary service area. ANC is requesting information regarding five Caterpillar 980-size wheel loaders or equivalent (10 years old or newer) equipped with box plows featuring a minimum 24-foot clearing width with rubber or polyurethane cutting edges. Equipment must be dedicated exclusively to ANC throughout the contract period and maintained within the Anchorage area; personnel must be capable of responding within two hours of airport notification.

The proposed contract period runs from October 15, 2026, through April 1, 2027. ANC is considering an hourly compensation model and seeks feedback on hourly equipment rates, operator rates, standby or availability charges, and alternative pricing structures, including whether seasonal standby payments would be necessary to support exclusive equipment dedication. Contractors should assume services will be provided on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum or maximum call-outs.

Respondents should provide company information, relevant experience, available equipment inventory, typical hourly rates, recommended contract structure, operational recommendations, and estimated burdened hourly rates per loader with operator. ANC also requests information on supplemental capabilities including ramp broom operations and side-dump truck snow hauling services. Administrative Order 352 applies, disqualifying any person or business determined to support a boycott of the State of Israel, unless the business has fewer than 10 employees or the contract amount is less than $100,000. Responses may be submitted via email to daniel.trubiano@alaska.gov or by delivery service to 2200 E. 42nd Ave, Anchorage, AK 99508.
