intent or requirements of this bid, it shall be the responsibility of the bidder to seek guidance from the

This solicitation is not to be construed as a commitment of any kind nor does it commit the ARRC to pay for
any costs incurred in the submission of an offer or for any other incurred cost prior to the execution of a
formal contract
BIDDER/VENDOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS: PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS ARE CAUTIONED TO PAY
PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THIS CLAUSE. Bidder/contractor imposed terms and conditions which
conflict with this Invitation to Bid terms and conditions are considered counter offers and, as such, will cause
the Alaska Railroad Corporation to consider the bid non-responsive.
If a bidder attaches additional terms and conditions as part of the bid, such attachments must be accompanied
by a disclaimer stating that in the event of conflict between the terms and conditions of this Invitation to Bid
and the terms and conditions of the bidder/contractor, the terms and conditions of the Invitation to Bid will
prevail.
ARRC Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program: ARRC is an equal opportunity corporation that
encourages the participation of DBEs as prime contractors and subcontractors on its contracts funded in
whole or in part by agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), including the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA). ARRC has a race-neutral DBE Program and does not set DBE goals on individual
solicitations. Nonetheless, ARRC aspires to achieve an overall DBE participation of 4.0% in federal fiscal
years 2022-2024 on USDOT-funded contracts. If this contract is funded in whole or in part by funds from the
USDOT, it is imperative that you consult the Federal Terms and Conditions portion of this solicitation.
The Alaska Railroad is a member of Green Star (http://www.greenstarinc.org/). ARRC earned an
initial Green Star Award in 1994 and a Green Star Air Quality Award in 2007. The Alaska Railroad
considers Green Star membership to be a positive business attribute, and regards a Green Star
award as a tangible sign of an organization’s commitment to environmental stewardship and
continual improvement within its operations.
