Council Agenda Statement
e of se
Meeting Date: October 8, 2012
Through: City Manager Jim Hunt ` ��'''
From: Harbormaster Mack Funk
Agenda Item: 2012 Change Order for Harbor Dredging Project
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
On May 29, 2012 and July 23, 2012 the City Council approved funding for payment through the Corps of
Engineers (COE) to their contractor, West Construction, to dredge areas of the Seward Small Boat Harbor.
The previously approved funds have also been used:
1. To construct a bermed site at SMIC for contaminated sediments
2. To establish a construction contingency.
The pre- dredge survey was completed on Monday September 17 and the City was notified on September 21
that one area of the Harbor, that needs to be dredged at City expense, has additional material that should be
dredged. It makes sense to order this work while the contractor is in Seward, to save mobilization and de-
mobilization expenses. The purpose of this requested change is to authorize additional work and appropriate
additional monies from the Commercial Passenger Vessel fund.
Passage of the proposed resolution will authorize and appropriate $155,858 of additional Commercial
Passenger Vessel (CPV) tax funds. The amount earlier approved on July 23 was $550,000. The increased
amount includes a 10% contingency.
INTENT: Approve a new resolution 2012- allocating funds for the dredging of the Small Boat Harbor,
amending the 2003 Project Cooperation Agreement with the Corp of Engineers.
