The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the retrieval and transportation of an emergency generator currently located in Tuluksak, Alaska. The procurement is administered by the Aleutians East Borough in the State of Alaska. The scope of work requires the contractor to retrieve either an Onan DGEA-3367290 or Cummins 6CT8.3-G2 generator from its current location near the Tuluksak power plant, verify that all fluids (oil, coolant, and fuel) remain drained, secure the unit for barging, coordinate staging with the community and AEA, and arrange transportation via barge service to AEA's warehouse at 2601 Commercial Drive in Anchorage, Alaska. The contractor assumes full responsibility for all aspects of shipping, handling, and coordination throughout the process. The deliverable is one generator unit with expected delivery to the AEA warehouse by the first week of July 2026. Quotations were due by April 23, 2026, submitted via email to AEAProcurement@akenergyauthority.org, with a period of performance from May 1, 2026, through August 7, 2026.
