The City of Anchorage utility (Chugach Electric Association) is soliciting bids for the conversion of existing overhead 15 kV and 35 kV distribution lines to underground facilities along the E 6th Avenue corridor (Bragaw St → Norman St). The work includes new underground conductors, pole removal/topping, concrete and curb work, street‑light upgrades, and a joint‑venture trench for GCI telecommunications infrastructure. The contract will be awarded to the lowest combined price for the three scopes (15 kV, 35 kV, GCI joint‑work) and will require a 10 % bid bond, performance bond equal to the contract amount, builder’s‑risk insurance, and a two‑year warranty. Completion of installation and energization must occur by July 31 2027, with final close‑out by August 15 2027; liquidated damages of $1,000 per day apply for late substantial completion. • Replace overhead 15 kV and 35 kV circuits with new underground conductors (≈5,690 ft bore for 15 kV, ≈6,765 ft bore for 35 kV). • Remove existing poles (3 × 15 kV, 32 × 35 kV) and install pole‑topping; construct concrete pads, curbs, de‑water vaults, and perform full road restoration to “joint‑to‑joint” condition. • Install GCI trench facilities for future underground telecom utilities; coordinate material pickups and adhere to 1‑ft separation requirements. • Provide all required permits (MOA ROW, DOT lane‑closure), traffic‑control plans, SWPPP, and a project‑specific HSE plan before Notice‑to‑Proceed. • Submit a detailed construction schedule, as‑built drawings, and warranty documentation upon completion.
