The contract is intended to run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewal options. While a fixed-price contract is preferred, a cost-reimbursement arrangement may be used if negotiations require it. The estimated contract amount is less than 50,000 dollars. Qualified candidates must be licensed and in good standing to practice law in Alaska and provide proof of professional liability, commercial general liability, comprehensive automobile, and workers compensation insurance. Proposals are due by December 2, 2025, and must include a completed Proposal Form, a letter not exceeding five pages, and a Former Employee’s Certification of Eligibility if applicable. Evaluation will be based on the firm's experience with public sector or energy clients, the qualifications of assigned personnel, the reasonableness of proposed rates, and the overall understanding of the IMC's needs. Selection will be conducted in accordance with Chapter 2 of the DOT&PF PSA Manual.
