SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Project Description: Demolition of existing parking lot light poles, lighting fixtures, flag poles, and bases at Valdez City Hall and Valdez Library. Furnish and install new light poles, lighting fixtures, three new flag poles, and bases.
Construction Schedule: All work shall be completed in accordance with the contract documents by August 20, 2021.
Bidding: Five bids were received: Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc., Curtis Electric, LLC., Prosser Dagg Construction, Build Alaska General Contracting, LLC., and Orion Construction Inc.
Engineers Estimate: Under $250,000.00
Additive Alternates: We are not recommending the inclusion of additive alternate #1 for additional lighting on the east side of the parking lot. The benefits of the three proposed added fixtures do not outweigh the additional expense. If additional lighting is needed in the future it can be accommodated with future upgrades to Fairbanks, Chenega, or Pioneer lighting.
