Work commences 2 Jan 2017 and must be completed by 30 Jun 2017, with specific milestone dates for Kake (15 Apr 2017) and Kipnuk (15 Jun 2017).

Contract value

$450,000

The unchecked bid results list a combined total of $1,186,944 for all six bidders (Kake $575,460 + Kipnuk $611,484). Since Tesla Electric submitted the lowest combined bid ($192,072.40 for Kake and $170,667.20 for Kipnuk), the award value is effectively its bid total of $362,739.60. However, the solicitation’s “Engineer’s estimate” ranges from $500,000 to $750,000, and the contract is a Not‑to‑Exceed labor‑only agreement, meaning the final contract ceiling could be up to the higher end of that estimate. Taking the lowest bid as the actual award and allowing for modest adjustments, a reasonable ball‑park contract value is about $400,000–$500,000. For a single‑value field we round to the midpoint of that range: $450,000.
