17 AAC 55.030 - Selection of design and construction contractors
(a) If a
municipality determines that it is necessary to engage the services of a
private consultant to design a public works project under an agreement, the
selection of the consultant must be accomplished under procedures that comply
with AS 36.98 and 17 AAC 07.010 - 17 AAC 07.900.
(b) The construction of a public works
project under an agreement by a municipality must be performed under bid
contract in accordance with
AS

the construction portion of the project is less than $100,000, or if it appears
to be in the best interests of the state, the municipality may with the prior
approval of the commissioner, construct the public works project itself using
its own employees.
(c) The
municipality shall provide a procedure for administrative review of complaints
filed by aggrieved bidders for construction contracts which provides for
(1) an appeal within five days after the
award;
(2) a hearing with notice to
all interested parties; and
(3) a
redetermination and final award in accordance with law.
(d) The award of a contract for the
construction of a public work under an agreement must be to the lowest
responsible bidder without regard to municipal ordinances granting a preference
to local bidders.
