Maintenance and Improvement Buld Fuel & Barge Header Infrastructure Engineering Services

This contract calls for comprehensive engineering services to maintain and improve existing bulk‑fuel storage tanks and associated barge‑header infrastructure across Alaska. The work is organized into a Phase 1 site‑evaluation phase followed by five subsequent design and construction‑administration tasks, with the ability to add or remove community sites as needed. The contract is a fixed‑price award (FPPE/FFP) initially spanning two years, with options for up to three one‑year renewals (and authority‑reserved three additional extensions). The award was made jointly to two firms, HDL and CRW, and the solicitation emphasized Alaska‑based licensing, professional liability insurance, and a strong Alaska‑bidder preference. • Scope: Site evaluations, conceptual/design engineering, bid support, and construction administration for bulk‑fuel tank farms and barge headers. • Funding: State capital funds plus Denali Commission award monies; estimated contract value marked as “$1 M or greater.” • Procurement: Competitive sealed proposals with weighted technical evaluation (90 % technical + 10 % Alaska bidder preference) and no price evaluation. • Options: Up to three one‑year renewals, potentially extending the contract to five years total.
