Won by Ridge Contracting Inc.$7.5MSingle Award
Contract source

Awarded vendors

  • Ridge Contracting Inc.

Description

This contract funds the design‑build upgrade of electric power generation and distribution systems in the remote Alaskan villages of Nikolai and Venetie, along with a new bulk‑fuel storage and dispensing facility at Venetie. The scope includes installing new generators, transformers, switchgear, overhead and underground distribution, civil site work, fuel‑system tanks, pipelines, and associated mechanical/electrical controls, while de‑commissioning existing infrastructure. The project is funded by the Denali Commission and the State of Alaska, and is awarded on a firm‑fixed‑price basis to a single contractor. • Comprehensive power‑system upgrade for two villages (new generation equipment, distribution upgrades, UPS, telecommunications). • Bulk‑fuel upgrade at Venetie (new above‑ground UL‑142/UL‑2085 tanks, secondary containment, pump and dispenser installation). • Project schedule targets substantial completion of power systems by early 2023 and final completion of all work by October 2023.

Contract value

$7,500,000

The solicitation’s Engineer’s Estimate is listed as $6 million – $9 million. Assuming a competitive award near the midpoint of this range and accounting for typical contractor profit and overhead (≈ 15‑20 %), a reasonable ball‑park contract value is about $7.5 million. This estimate reflects the extensive scope (power generation equipment, transformers, switchgear, civil works, fuel‑system tanks, pipelines, and demolition) and the remote Alaskan location, which adds logistics and labor cost premiums.
