Bids Open Jan. 14, 2026 for North Slope Districtwide Generator Upgrades

The North Slope Borough posted a solicitation for sealed bids on Jan. 14, 2026 for the Districtwide Generator Replacement & Upgrades project, CIP #06-201, targeting construction work at school district facilities across the North Slope. The procurement portal listing identifies the borough’s official channel for bid submissions and project documents, marking the first formal step in a capital project with direct implications for school operations and local contractors.

The posted notice describes the borough’s intent to secure construction services for generator replacement and upgrades at various North Slope Borough School District sites. While the portal listing does not include project budgets or award decisions, it establishes the bid opening date and directs interested firms to the procurement site for full contract documents, submission instructions, and contact information. The borough’s procurement portal is the authoritative source for solicitations and any subsequent addenda or clarifications; the project page is available at north-slope-procurement.com/Projects/dnn_ctr382_ViewNSB_Projects_Open_userControl_rgOpenProjectsChangePage/2_20.

For residents, upgraded generators can translate into more reliable power at school facilities during outages and severe weather, which supports classroom operations, safety systems, and community services that rely on school infrastructure. For businesses, the project creates an immediate procurement window: contractors serving the North Slope should ensure they are registered on the portal to be placed on planholder lists and to receive pre-bid information and any addenda. Registration matters for firms that want to participate or monitor the procurement; planholder status also helps ensure firms receive the latest schedule changes and technical clarifications.

The bid posting follows the North Slope Borough’s capital improvement process for facility projects. Next steps typically include bid evaluation, potential bid protests or clarifications if submitted, and a formal award under borough procurement rules. Project timelines, contract award notices, and construction schedules will be posted to the procurement portal as the borough moves through its acquisition process. Contractors and community stakeholders should consult the portal for definitive dates and documents.

This project is part of broader efforts to maintain and modernize school facilities across the North Slope. Residents and local firms have a window to follow the procurement record, verify planholder lists, and prepare for potential contracting or subcontracting opportunities.
