Specific deliverables include 65%, 95%, and Construction Document (CD) level plans, along with a detailed construction cost estimate.

The solicitation indicates potential application of Alaska statutory preferences, which may include considerations for Alaska Bidders, Alaska Veterans, and Alaska Products. The estimated contract amount ranges between $100,000 and $150,000, with a preference for a fixed-price contract, though a cost-reimbursement contract remains possible if a fixed price cannot be negotiated. The procurement allows for bidder preferences for Alaska Bidders, Veterans, Employment Programs, and Disabled Persons. Contractors must be prepared to perform all services within the United States unless a specific waiver is granted. Evaluation criteria will assess demonstrated comprehension of required services, relevant experience of proposed personnel, proposed project schedule, and price estimate. While no incumbent vendor is specifically mentioned, the project is located in Sitka and involves renovation of an existing facility. The successful contractor will need to comply with state licensing, registration, and insurance requirements, and must demonstrate the ability to provide professional design services that meet ADA guidelines and local construction standards.
