Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: August 11, 2014 `40C SF1/49
To: City Council
ILAsKP
Through: City Manager Jim Hunt
From: Harbormaster Mack Funk
Agenda Item: Accepting a grant for the Sewer Pump Out Facilities at the Small
Boat Harbor
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The vessel sewer system on Seward Harbor Docks E
and F was originally designed to use two pumps, one for each dock.A number of years ago the
pump on E dock failed. The system was re-plumbed so that both docks run on a single pump.
Unfortunately, this pump was undersized for the application, and now needs to be replaced. The
intent is to use grant funding to purchase a new pump system that is properly sized and powerful
enough to serve both docks.
The harbor currently has sewage pump out stations at three other docks:Z float, Q float,and the NE
launch ramp. The new pump system on E and F docks would serve bigger vessels since these
moorage slips range in size from 50 feet to 100 feet. The collection system runs the entire length of
both docks and it is expected to be widely used.
The grant funds for this project come from taxes collected on fish gear through the Sport Fish
Restoration(SFR)Act. According to federal aid regulations, SFR grants can be approved only if
they primarily benefit the recreational boating and sport fishing public. These funds cannot be
used for projects that primarily support subsistence, personal use, or commercial fishing groups.
Other users may use an SFR project, but such use cannot displace recreational boater and sport
angler use.
After this grant is fully approved, the City will solicit bids from pump suppliers. After bids are
received and evaluated, staff will purchase the pump.
INTENT: To accept up to $29,682 in grant funds from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game
in order to replace the sewage pump that serves E float.
