Ambler Access Project: Stakeholder Outreach Services

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) awarded a multi‑year stakeholder‑outreach contract for the Ambler Access Project to Kuna Engineering, LLC.

The contract runs from mid‑2021 through the end of 2024, with a performance window tied to the project’s design schedule. Evaluation emphasized technical competence, rural Alaska experience, minority‑business participation, and Alaska‑bidder preference, while price was not a scoring factor. • Scope: Community outreach, stakeholder meetings, visual‑media production, data management, report drafting, event logistics, advisory‑committee creation, and web site updates. • Duration: Approximately 3½ years (June 2021 – Dec 31 2024). • Evaluation: Technical merit (staff qualifications, past performance, rural experience) and preference points (MBE, Alaska‑bidder). No price weighting.
