ITB 10 230000020 1 https://iris-vss.alaska.gov/PRDVSS1X1/Advantage4
Purpose of ITB: In January of 2019 the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued ITB 190000021 soliciting competitive bids for qualified contractors to provide as-needed fixed wing and helicopter services for use in emergency wildland firefighting for the Division of Forestry (DOF). A provision within ITB 190000021 allows DNR to issue periodic Open Enrollment periods during the contract term. This ITB is the first Open Enrollment period solicitation issued under this provision.
The purpose of this Open Enrollment period is threefold:
a) allow existing contractors to add new aircraft to, or remove existing aircraft from, their contract;
b) allow existing contractors to increase or decrease their prices for aircraft currently on the existing contract; and;
c) allow new contractors to be added to the contract.
Existing Contractors who are not adding or removing aircraft or requesting price increases or decreases are not required to submit a bid in response to this ITB.
Aircraft provided under a contract resulting from this ITB will only be used to support firefighting efforts for active fires being managed or supported by the Division of Forestry.
