TROOPER HOUSEHOLD GOODS MOVE WESTERN
ALASKA
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION & INSTRUCTIONS
SEC. 1.01 PURPOSE OF THE ITB
The Department of Public Safety, Division of Alaska State Troopers, is soliciting bids for a qualified vendor to
provide the services of a household goods move between Kotzebue and King Salmon, Alaska.
SEC. 1.02 BUDGET
Payment for the contract is subject to funds already appropriated and identified.
SEC. 1.03 DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF BIDS
Bids must be received no later than 1:30 p.m. Alaska Time on October 28, 2026, at which time they will be publicly
opened. Late bids or amendments will be considered non-responsive and will not be opened or accepted for
evaluation.
SEC. 1.04 PRIOR EXPERIENCE
No specific minimums have been set for this ITB.
SEC. 1.05 REQUIRED REVIEW
Bidders shall carefully review this ITB for defects and questionable or objectionable material. Comments
concerning defects and questionable or objectionable material in the ITB should be made in writing and received
by the procurement officer prior to the deadline for receipt of bids. This will allow time for an amendment to be
issued if one is required. It will also help prevent the opening of a defective bid, upon which award cannot be
made, and the resultant exposure of bidders' prices.
SEC. 1.06 QUESTIONS PRIOR TO DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF BIDS
All questions must be in writing and directed to the procurement officer. The interested party must confirm
telephone conversations in writing. Two types of questions generally arise. One may be answered by directing the
questioner to a specific section of the ITB. These questions may be answered over the telephone. Other questions
may be more complex and may require a written amendment to the ITB. The procurement officer will make that
decision.
SEC. 1.07 SITE INSPECTION
The successful bidder is required to conduct a mandatory site visit at the origin location before the pack and load
dates. After the site visit, the successful bidder must report results and any discrepancies to the buyer prior to the
packing of the household goods to ensure the state's estimated weights are in proximity with the estimated weights
of the successful bidder. Visits can be conducted via in-person, video or telephonic as mutually agreed upon by both
parties.
This contact person is only empowered to allow potential bidders to view the work site. The contact person cannot
and will not answer potential bidder questions regarding the work to be performed under this ITB or the terms,

conditions, and specifications of this ITB. Any questions potential bidders have must be directed to the
procurement officer as required in Section 1.05.
SEC. 1.08 RETURN INSTRUCTIONS
Bidders must submit one copy of their bid via email. The entire bid may be emailed to
dps.das.solicitations@alaska.gov and must contain the ITB number in the subject line of the email. The maximum
size of a single email (including all text and attachments) that can be received by the state is 20mb (megabytes).
If the email containing the bid exceeds this size, the bid must be sent in multiple emails that are each less than 20
megabytes and each email must comply with the requirements described above.
Please note that email transmission is not instantaneous. Like sending a hard copy bid, if you are emailing your
bid, the state recommends sending it enough ahead of time to ensure the email is delivered by the deadline for
receipt of bids.
It is the bidder's responsibility to contact the issuing agency at (907) 269-5582 to confirm that the entire bid has
been received. The state is not responsible for unreadable, corrupt, or missing attachments.
SEC. 1.09 ASSISTANCE TO BIDDERS WITH A DISABILITY
The State of Alaska complies with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Individuals with
disabilities who may need auxiliary aids, services, and/or special modifications to submit a bid should contact
the Procurement Officer no later than ten days prior to the closing of the bid to make any necessary
arrangements.
SEC. 1.10 AMENDMENTS TO BIDS
Amendments to or withdrawals of bids will only be allowed if acceptable requests are received prior to the
deadline that is set for receipt of bids, in accordance with 2 AAC 12.140. No amendments or withdrawals will be
accepted after the deadline unless the delay is due to an error of the contracting agency, in accordance with 2
AAC 12.160.
SEC. 1.11 AMENDMENTS TO THE ITB
If an amendment is issued before the deadline for receipt of bids, the amendment will be posted on the State of
Alaska Online Public Notice (OPN) website. The link to the posting of the amendment will be provided to all who
were notified of the ITB and to those who have registered with the procurement officer after receiving the ITB
from the OPN.
SEC. 1.12 ITB SCHEDULE
The ITB schedule below represents the State of Alaska's best estimate of the schedule that will be followed. If a
component of this schedule, such as the deadline for receipt of bids, is delayed, the rest of the schedule may be
shifted accordingly. All times are Alaska Standard Time (AST).

Bidders may only submit one bid for evaluation. In accordance with 2 AAC 12.830 alternate bids (bids that offer
something different than what is asked for) will be rejected.
SEC. 1.14 SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Provided a bid meets the requirements for a definite, firm, unqualified, and unconditional offer, the state reserves
the right to request supplemental information from the bidder, after the bids have been opened, to ensure that
the products or services offered completely meet the ITB requirements. The requirement for such supplemental
information will be at the reasonable discretion of the state and may include the requirement that a bidder will
provide a sample product(s) so that the state can make a first-hand examination and determination.
A bidder's failure to provide this supplemental information or the product sample(s), within the time set by the
state, may cause the state to consider the offer non-responsive and reject the bid.
SEC. 1.15 FIRM, UNQUALIFIED, AND UNCONDITIONAL OFFER
To be responsive a bid must constitute a definite, firm, unqualified and unconditional offer to meet all the material
terms of the ITB. Material terms are those that could affect the price, quantity, quality, or delivery. Also included
as material terms are those which are clearly identified in the ITB, and which must be complied with at risk of bid
rejection for non-responsiveness.
