Unalaska, the 12th largest incorporated city in Alaska, is located 800 miles southwest of Anchorage, just

50 miles from the Great Circle route. Nestled in the heart of the rich North Pacific/Bering Sea fisheries,

our community is a vibrant blend of industry and history. With 44 miles of roads connecting our port,

harbors, and private docks to local businesses and a thriving residential community of 4,113 residents, we

are dedicated to supporting one of Alaska's busiest and most prosperous coastlines. For over 30 years,

Unalaska’s economy has primarily relied on commercial fishing, seafood processing, fleet services, and

marine transportation. The Port of Dutch Harbor is the only deep-draft, ice-free port from Unimak Pass

west to Adak and north to the Bering Strait's headwaters. Designated as a "Port of Refuge," it offers year-

round protection for disabled or distressed vessels, along with ground and warehouse storage and

transshipment opportunities for the thousands of vessels fishing or transiting the waters around the

Aleutian Islands. Each year, over 1.7 billion pounds of frozen seafood are shipped to domestic and

international markets in North America, Europe, and Asia, making the Port of Dutch Harbor the nation’s

leader in the quantity of catch landed and consistently ranking first or second in the nation in catch value

for over 25 years.

I. GENERAL

The City of Unalaska (the “City”) is seeking Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”) from qualified

engineering and/or architectural firms (“Respondents”) to provide professional roofing assessment,

design, bidding, and construction administration services for a phased roof replacement and rehabilitation

program. The City is interested in firms with demonstrated experience delivering roofing and building

envelope projects in remote, marine, and harsh-weather environments with limited construction seasons

and complex logistics requirements.

The City currently anticipates twenty-seven (27) municipal buildings requiring varying levels of roof

rehabilitation, replacement, drainage improvements, waterproofing upgrades, and related roof

improvements over an anticipated ten (10) year period.

The SOQs must be received by 4:00 pm on Friday, July 10, 2026, at the City Hall Clerk’s Office by mail, in

to extend facility service life, reduce long term-maintenance costs, improve weather resistance, address

life safety and code compliance concerns, improve energy efficiency where practical, standardize roofing

implementation as well as contract administration and inspection during construction.

The City would like to contract with the selected consultant for an initial period of five years with the

option to extend the agreement on a yearly basis.

The City intends to issue individual task orders for specific buildings or groups of buildings over time.

The selected firm will provide professional engineering and/or architectural services which may include,

but are not limited to, the following:

• Roof Assessments & Existing Condition Verification
