Required Project Work Analysis

This solicitation is for a term agreement to perform an independent engineering review—referred to as a “Required Project Work Analysis”—of the planned Sterling → Quartz Creek transmission‑line upgrade on the Alaska Railbelt Grid. The contractor must examine the Bradley Lake Power Sales Agreement, related financial statements, and engineering documents to determine whether the project qualifies as “Required Project Work” and whether issuance of additional bonds would jeopardize debt‑service obligations. Deliverables consist of draft and final written opinions on the project work and the bond issues, due in early April and May 2022. The contract is a one‑year base period (March 2022‑2023) with a ceiling of $1 million and optional extensions up to four additional years. Evaluation heavily weights staff qualifications, methodology, management approach, past performance, and labor billing rates. • Scope: Document‑based engineering and financial analysis of a $53 M transmission line upgrade. • Deliverables: Draft/Final Required‑Project‑Work opinion (April 2022) and Draft/Final Bonds opinion (May 2022). • Funding: Phase 1 capped at $40 k; total contract ceiling $1 M, with optional extensions through March 2027.
