Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: August 28, 2017
To: City Council
Through: Jim Hunt, City Manager �
From: Norm Regis, Harbormaster
Agenda Item: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a purchasing agreement with
Kendrick Equipment to widen the 330 travelift located at SMIC
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
With the new 330 ton travelift there are additional vessels around the state that would like to travel
to Seward to be hauled out, but they are restricted due to the width of the travelift pit. By widening
the lift pit and travelift by 4 feet it would draw more catamarans (day cruisers), fishing vessels and
tugs that are currently too wide for the current travelift and travelift pit.
In 2015, when the City had the 330 ton travelift built, it was designed so the lift could be widened
when funds became available.
With the breakwater construction nearing completion and with funds remaining in the SMIC
development grant, the city has requested R&M to engineer repairs to the North dock, the design
and placement of a 10 ton crane on the North dock (Moffatt & Nichol), widening of the 330 ton
travelift pit and adding a new 315 foot moorage float (Fisherman's Float) with electric and water.
R&M issued RFP #5 to Hamilton Construction in which Hamilton Construction has replied with
quantities and a pricing schedule. With the remaining SMIC development grant funds available all
of the above projects can be accomplished.
What is not included in RFP #5 is the City portion of widening the 330 ton travelift. Kendrick
Equipment has sent the City a quote of S71,300.00 to widen the 330 ton travelift; this is beyond
the City Managers authorization for Purchase. A crane and man lift will also need to be rented.
The funding for the city portion of widening the 330 ton travelift is available in the SMIC
development grant.
INTENT:
To authorize the City Manager to enter into a purchasing agreement with Kendrick Equipment in
the amount of $71,300.00 to purchase parts and have factory trained authorized technicians to
widen the 330 ton travelift.
