ADVERTISEMENT FOR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

On behalf of Anchorage Community Land Trust (ACLT), Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) will accept

proposals from responsible and responsive contractors for the Kitchen Incubator project located at 3709

Mountain View Drive, Anchorage, Alaska.

Mountain View is Anchorage's most food-insecure neighborhood and home to one of the most vibrant

food entrepreneurial communities in the state. Immigrants, refugees, and local small business owners

have the skills and the drive, but no access to licensed, commercial-grade kitchen space. This building

changes that. When complete, the Kitchen Incubator will provide four shared commercial kitchens

available to food entrepreneurs at affordable rates, giving them the space to test ideas, grow

businesses, and build economic independence. The project is developed by ACLT, whose Set Up

Shop and Grow North Farm programs have served over 600 small businesses in Mountain View

and throughout Anchorage. CIHA is ACLT's development partner and owner's representative.

The scope of work for this project includes, but is not limited to, the new ground-up construction of a

single-story, approximately 6,026 SF commercial kitchen incubator facility located at 3709 Mountain View

Drive, Anchorage, Alaska. The building is Type VB construction, Occupancy Group F-1, slab-on-grade,

non-sprinklered, with a wood frame and built-up roofing system. Interior program includes four

commercial kitchens, dry and cold storage, locker rooms, a meeting room, reception, office, break room,

mechanical room, and common restrooms. All MEP systems, site work, civil improvements, and utility

connections are included in the work. Kitchen equipment is Owner-Furnished, Contractor-Installed

(OFCI) and the GC is responsible for all MEP rough-ins, coordination, installation, and commissioning of

Owner-supplied equipment. The Contractor shall manage all construction traffic and pedestrian safety in

consideration of Clark Middle School and the active bus stop at the property line, in accordance with an

approved traffic control plan.

The anticipated Notice to Proceed date is June 1, 2026. Substantial Completion is required by August

31, 2027.

obligees will be required for the project.
