Sale prospectus and decision documents are available at https://forestry.alaska.gov/timber/matsu. The Alyeska log deck timber sale is less than 10 acres in size therefore does not need to appear in a Five-Year Schedule (AS 38.05.113), does not need a Forest Land Use Plan (AS 38.05.112), qualifies under 38.05.115 and is offered under AS 38.05.120.

Please contact DOF for updates regarding the status of this timber. The State neither expressly nor implicitly warrants its quantity estimate, or the quality or marketability of the timber sold. Prospective bidders should visit the site and evaluate the timber before bidding. Estimates are used only to establish the minimum bid. Each operator is required to estimate their own costs and bid accordingly.

The Mat-Su Area auction will be a sealed bid auction beginning promptly at 2:00 PM October 7, 2024.

To qualify for bidding, all bidders must at the time of auction submit:
1. A current Alaska Business License, and

If no qualified bid is received within the time specified during the auction, DOF may offer the sale for purchase over the counter without re-advertisement for not less than the advertised minimum bid.

The State reserves the right to reject any or all bids. Unless all bids are rejected, the State will
award the sale to the responsible qualified bidder offering the highest total bid value. If the bidder does not execute the contract and furnish a satisfactory performance bond within 30 days of receipt of the contract for execution, the successful bidder's bid deposit will forfeit to the State as liquidated damages, and the successful bidder will lose all claim to the contract. The performance bond, plus any project bonds will be in the form of cash or certificate of deposit. Prior to execution of the contract the successful bidder must schedule a pre-operation meeting to review the contract and submit a logging plan.
