Project Summary: In 2003 the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) commenced a major revision to its strategic plan with the goals of evolving the School into a Center of Excellence in fisheries and ocean sciences, enhancing the coastal presence of SFOS throughout Alaska, and diversifying the School's programs to its geographic nodes. Part of this overall strategy reviewed the future plans and status of Seward Marine Center (SMC). It is envisioned that SMC will grow in the near future into a world class oceanographic facility serving the North Pacific, Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and other northern latitude waters. To accomplish this goal, SMC facilities must be upgraded with the aim toward establishing a physical plant to support the SFOS goals through 2050. Concurrent with this planning effort and providing the major impetus for renovation of SMC will be the arrival of a new, larger, more capable research vessel to replace the aged RIV Alpha He/ix. This vessel will dictate major changes to the Seward Marine Center's ship operations mission.

A parallel influx of new research programs based in Seward is also anticipated. These will require space and modernization of the shoreside facilities research support capabilities. This support will include warehouse space, technical shops, classroom facilities, library accessibility, office space for permanent and visiting researchers and technicians, and broadband transmission capability to support audio/video transmission. Located to the east of the Center is the Alaska Sealife Center (ASLC), a modern $50 million research center specializing in marine mammal and bird research. To the west is a modern mariculture facility that supports research and growth of shellfish. These new programs and research centers will require the Center to both expand its traditional ship operations and shore side research support missions and to also evolve into a center for technological support of oceanographic equipment programs and sensors. When the capabilities of all three facilities are viewed as a whole, the goal of becoming a world class research facility is a reasonable expectation. Together they provide a broad base of diverse marine research capability that will allow the Center to evolve into a world class oceanographic facility. This concept paper outlines the updated capacities needed to meet these changing missions for the next 50 years. It provides an outline of the programs expected to be located here, the new vessel's support needs and the renovation and modernization steps necessary to supply the support. It also provides a time line for completion of the new ship construction and its arrival in Seward. All construction must be completed by this date to allow effective ship operations to continue. The cost to accomplish this modernization is estimated at $25.7 million. ~:;i-"\ ,n'd [\1.11'inc Center tull.' ofi\Luinc Scien.ce l\ilJ i 11 Vv' " reht) LIse \\) Overview of F'acility: Introduction The Seward Marine Center is operated by the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences' Institute of Marine Science (IMS) of the University of Alaska and is the only University owned and operated marine station in Alaska. Seward's location relative to two of the University's major campuses in Fairbanks and Anchorage plus the Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage makes it accessible to most marine or aquatic science academicians and 90% of all college students in Alaska. To serve the large scientific community, we are in the process of upgrading our facilities from field station to marine laboratory status. Some progress has been made toward this goal, in terms of physical plant capability, acquisition of basic equipment and utilization of the facility by nationally recognized research projects. The SMC is the northern most University operated marine laboratory in the U.S.. Certainly, the Seward Marine Center will play an increasingly important role in the national science effort. The SMC is in Seward, a small coastal town at the head of Resurrection Bay, a fjord on the Kenai Peninsula in south central Alaska. The Center consists of (1) the D. W. Hood Laboratory, whicl1 opened in 19'1lS and contains 2,000 ft2 of wet laboratory space with running seawater arid an approxImately equal amount of space for dry laboratories, two temperature controlled rooms, offices, and a darkroom; (2) an 1830 ft2 building which is used primarily to support underwater mooring operations; (3) a 2500 ft2 outdoor live tank area also exists that can hold live marine animals for study; (4) the K.M. Rae Building, opened in 1982 has 6,418 ft2 of space including offices and a 100-seat auditorium; (5) a large office-warehouse complex of approximately 17,526 ft2, which houses a small library, conference room, woodshop, and storage space for the research vessel Alpha Helix. It is also the staging area for oceanographic cruise equipment that will be loaded aboard the Alpha Helix; (6) a 2,193 ft2 machine shop that is used for ship maintenance as well as fabrication and maintenance oflaboratory equipment; (7) a four-plex apartment building used to house visiting investigators and graduate students; (8) a 26-ft aluminum boat built in 1987 especially for scientific sampling; and (9) the home port and base of operation for the 132-foot oceanographic research vessel Alpha Helix, part of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). A 150-ft dock supports this function. The shore station provides scientists utilizing the Alpha Helix with facilities for pre- or post-cruise studies. In the past, resident scientific personnel at the SMC included two resident scientists, four research assistants and a variable number of graduate students conducting thesis research. Approximately 100 plus non-ship users and 108 ship users visit the Center annually. During the spring and summer field season, requests for space at the laboratory exceed available space. In addition to the SMC, a shellfish mariculture laboratory exists for research into this discipline and to rear spat for selling to shellfish farmers. This facility is located on University leased property. Directly to the east of the SMC is the eight-year-oldAlaska SeaLife Center, a $50 million modern facility dedicated to research on marine mammals and birds. Both the SeaLife Center and mariculture center are non-University facilities but working agreements exist between all three entities. The Science Director for the SeaLife Seward Marine Center University of Alaska/s fnslitu I:e of lVtarine Science \\ Center is a University of Alaska scientist, faculty member and professor. All these facilities have matured to the point that coordination of development and expansion must occur. Historical Perspective The Alaska State Legislature created the Institute of Marine Science in 1960 with the mission to "provide a program of education and research in physical, chemical, and biological oceanography and related fields." Slowly the IMS faculty has been expanded from one in 1960 to 32, largely by obtaining extramural grants e.g. National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, N.O.A.A., E.P.A., Department of Energy, Sea Grant, and Bureau of Land Management and other agencies, as well as industrial contracts. When the Institute was established, the University consisted of a single campus located at Fairbanks, far from the sea. At that time most shipboard research was conducted in the inside waters of southeast Alaska, from a small field station near Juneau. The 89-ft R/V Acona was obtained in 1964 for offshore _ sampling. Tht" P:llrb.l'lnks Cqmpll!O: providec1 the eompl1tlng, dry lab0!"~t0,;e~ and libr:ny faciHtieE ~ce~:~ ~j' researchers. In 1971, ship operations and the field station were moved to Seward because of its proximity to Prince William Sound, the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea, the area where most of the funded research was being conducted. In 1980 the 132-ft R/V Alpha Helix was acquired. This was a major upward step in complexity in the University's mission of ship scheduling, operations, planning, maintenance and budgeting. Since 1980 SMC has served as homeport for the RIV Alpha Helix, which is operated for the National Science Foundation by the University of Alaska. In 1978, a modern research laboratory building was constructed at the SMC and in 1982, Phase I of a public education and teaching building was opened. The SMC has been used for field trips by both secondary schools and the University, community college courses, summer University of Alaska courses and research. The research effort conducted by University of Alaska staff, graduate students and visiting scientists from the United States and foreign countries consists of a variety of marine science subjects. See the appendix for published scientific papers generated with SMC shore side support. In 1986, the State Legislature combined all University marine and fishery programs and created the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS). Both IMS and SMC were transferred to \Voodshop ~md iVlachinc Shop this school. This was the final step in the twentieth century maturing and the evolving development of the University's marine research and fisheries programs. By elavating these programs to the status of a School, the Legislature recognized their importance to the state's future. Uniqueness of the Site The SMC is the northernmost (60 degrees north latitude) University marine laboratory in the U.S. It is ideally situated for fjord-related investigations, open ocean work in the Gulf of Alaska, and studies of sub-arctic and arctic organisms. Resurrection Bay, one of a number of classic deepwater fjords on the ,1/ Kenai Peninsula, is 20 km long. It opens directly onto the Gulf of Alaska shelf. The waters of the fjord are characterized by a well developed but poorly studied plankton community. Most of the Alaskan commercially harvested invertebrate and fish species are readily available. Marine mammals and sea birds are also abundant in the area. Extensive intertidal habitats occur nearby including mud flats, sand and cobble beaches, and rock walls. There is a 5-6 m tidal amplitude during spring tides. The deep fjord on which SMC is sited is also ideal for testing oceanographic instruments because of its immediate access to deep and protected water. The bay is ice-free and research is carried out year-round. The longest continuous oceanographic data time series is located within an hour's boat ride from SMC. The SMC is connected to Anchorage, Alaska's major transportation hub and population center, by road, rail and air. This makes it the ideal coastal Alaskan home port and logistic base for scientific ship support because arriving and departing science parties and their equipment can be easily received and shipped. Description of Current Facilities The SMC is located at the edge of Seward on 12.76 oceanfront acres; the University of Alaska owns 5.63 acres and 7.13 are on a 99-yearlease (82 years remaining) from the City of Seward. The Center has six buildings (previously described in the introduction). The D. W. Hood laboratory is used for marine research. Additionally there is 1 million liter outside seawater pond used primarily to support the mariculture program. A 2500 ft2 outside seawater tank facility also exists that increases our live organism holding space. High quality seawater is pumped from the main pumping system into the Hood laboratory continuously from a depth of about 60 meters at a rate of200 gpm at a pressure of8 to 10 psi. Incoming seawater has an annual temperature range of 3 to 10 degrees centigrade and a salinity range of31 to 33 parts per thousand. An emergency generator automatically powers the seawater pumps and all the Hood laboratory electrical outlets in the event of a city power failure. The SMC also has a 150-foot, deep-water dock where the R/V Alpha Helix moors when in Seward. The warehouse, machine shop, two forklifts (1.5 and 3.0 ton) and a 20-ton crane all serve to primarily support ship operations. One full-time maintenance technician, paid with funds granted by the State of Alaska, takes care of the seawater system and shoreside buildings, equipment, vehicles and grounds. One senior technician position that supervises our marine technican program is also supported by State funds. Three administrative positions and one librarian/technician and ~ time for an Assistant Director are the remainder of the Center's personnel that are State funded. SMC also supports two marine technicians, who provide routine care of shipboard research equipment, and a mooring technician who maintains and designs moorings and their instrumentation packages. All these positions are federally funded. A ship's crew of eight, one port engineer and % time for a marine superintendent complete positions that support and maintain the R/V Alpha Helix. Federal monies fund all. \ ~ Electronic and technical equipment like the balances and scintillation counters are maintained with ongoing service contracts. Instrument calibrations are also done under contract. All materials purchased with funds granted under this proposal will be maintained using SFOS State of Alaska funds. All equipment and facilities of the Center are open to any legitimate scientific use by outside as well as University of Alaska users, on a first-come, first-serve basis. In case of scheduling conflicts, priority is given to proj ects requiring a particular time period for scientific reasons. Use of research equipment WAREHOUSE IMS LAB SEAlIFE CENTER t of the Seward .Marine Center from he end of the dock. is subject to demonstrated user competence, proper care, safety, and replacement of consumables. User fees are charged for certain facilities, (boats, apartments, the public education building) but not at present for storage space. Administration of the Station The Institute of Marine Science (IMS) is a unit of the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS), which is part of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The dean of the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) is Dr. Vera Alexander and the director of the Institute is Dr. Michael Castellini, who directs SMC operations, with advice from a SMC user committee. Capt. Thomas Smith USCG (Ret), the Assistant Director for Coastal and Marine Operations, oversees the day-to-day operation of the SMC and also acts as the Alpha Helix's marine superintendent. He reports to Dr. Castellini. Current Status of the Station The RIV Alpha Helix is the oldest research vessel in the UNOLS fleet. Its replacement is a major priority in the UNOLS Federal Oceanographic Facilities Committee (FOFC) fleet renewal plan and has received strong support from the scientific community. NSF has provided funds for the design of the new vessel and preliminary design is nearing completion. The State's economic downturn coincides with the halt in new construction at SMC. The last major capital improvement was the construction of the K.M. Rae building in 1982. It and the D.W. Hood laboratory, plus the apartment building, were the only parts completed of a major, 1974 vintage, \\.A conceptual plan that envisioned a true campus environment for development in Seward. The remaining buildings, the machine shop, and warehouse are 1950 era railroad maintenance buildings. The mooring shop is a small prefabricated metal building. These three buildings need replacement or major renovation based on age if for no other reason. Landscaping and site beautification were never carried out as planned. The relocation of the mooring operations from Fairbanks to Seward collocated this operation with ship operations. This function has and is growing. Several new initiatives may be located in Seward that support mooring development, design, maintenance and deployment. It is demanding more space for its operations. The establishment of the mariculture center and Alaska SeaLife Center has also positively impacted the SMC. Each brought a scientific research discipline that SMC has never nor ever will address. The hatchery's research is geared to shellfish and the SeaLife Center's to marine mammals and birds. By contrast SMC's research is geared to deep-water shipboard oceanography while its shore side research has traditionally been fish and crustaceans. The establishment of these facilities has, however, produced a broad spectrum of scientific capability and helped the Seward scientific community to reach a critical mass where facility growth is needed. A demand for more dry lab space, seawater tanks, graduate student and visiting researcher support space, high speed data communications, a distance learning center, a scientific library with remote access to various scientific bibliographies, storage and work space for moorings is rising. 236' Replacement Vessel Alaska Regional ResearcIl Vessel(A....QJ~V} The advent of the new vessel is a major force for modernization. It will demand more space and support. The current dock will not support a 236-foot ship securely. A larger all-weather dock, more warehouse space, central shipping and receiving service plus more temporary lodging and office space for science parties joining and departing the vessel will be required. Science parties will approach 27 persons per cruise. Additional marine technican support will be required and the need for an electronic repair shop will be generated. The current shops for machining, welding, carpentry and outboard motor repair will still be required plus a need for an electrical repair shop will occur. Future Demands The replacement vessel will be much larger (236 feet), carry more crew and scientists and operate more days than the Alpha Helix. It is a logical progression in SMC's ship operation duties. SMC has successfully operated vessels of 89 and 132-feet. The support staff is experienced and technically capable of operating a larger vessel effectively. The new vessel's preliminary design is nearing completion. Model testing has been successfully completed and the vessel's performance appears to be excellent. Flexible oceanographic research capability will be built into the vessel. It will perform not only traditional chemical, biological, and physical oceanography but also be able to conduct fisheries research and operate in the ice fringe. It will be a major improvement in scientific capability \~ and sea keeping then the RIV Alpha Helix. This improvement will result in an increased number of operating days. Four programs have been identified as potential, additional users of SMC shore side facilities, the Coastal Alaska Observing System (CAOS), the NOAA Data Buoy System's Alaska water buoys, the Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT) and the US Coast Guard. Both CAOS and the NOAA programs will service and deploy moorings and buoys. These programs will support approximately 30 plus buoys. Their needs are office space, storage (inside and covered outside), use of all shops except the outboard repair shop, forklifts, crane, shipyard service, technician support and administration space. The ACT program provides an unbiased third-party test bed to evaluate new and developing coastal sensors and technology. As such, it meshes nicely with the CAOS and NOAA data buoy programs. ACT will need administrative space, minor storage, shop usage, technician support plus test tanks and small boat :upport to deploy sensors for deep water testing. The US Coast Guard will need dock space, office space, storage and shop use. Additional SMC shore based research and collaboration with both the mariculture and SeaUfe Center will require administrative space and dry laboratories for both permaneI).tand visiti~g professors and graduate students. Both CAOS and NOAA will also require dock space for vessels that will deploy their moorings. As SMC grows and programs such as those described above locate at SMC, the following needs will be generated: a larger mooring shop, more office space for additional permanent and visiting mooring technicians, professors and graduate students, dock space for the USCG vessel home ported in Seward, plus space for visiting ships and possibly a permanently assigned USCG buoy tender that would deploy and recover the NOAA buoys. A major need to allow expansion at SMC is broadband data communications capability. This lack has stifled growth at SMC in the past. The past inability to receive required classes has limited the amount oftime graduate students could spend at SMC. The existence of both access to a scientific library via computer and the use of a distance learning center will permit graduate students to take necessary courses in Seward. This will allow long-term residency and research by them at SMC. The past inability to teach classes limited the number of onsite researchers at SMC. Resident professors can also fulfill their teaching requirements from this center. Installation of broadband data communications links from and to Seward will occur in the summer 2003. \\9 The SeaLife Center, US Park Service, US Forest Service and SMC operations all generate a large need for temporary housing for transit workers and visitors particularly in the summer. The City of Seward cannot meet this demand during the summer months when the tourist season is at its peak. The need for low cost, temporary, student type dormitory services is needed. Facility Renovations Planned The Center consists of two parcels of land. One is south of Railway (Armstrong) Ave and the other is north of it. They are almost 13 acres total. The upper (North) area contains an apartment building and the K.M. Rae Marine Education Center. The K.M. Rae Building will be renovated to contain offices for a receptionist, multimedia technician and student desks for class work and study. Additionally, located here will be a distance-learning center with 8 individual sites and a 6-site long distance sdence lihrary room plus a 40 x 40 foot conference room/classroom. This room will be capable of being divided to make to separate rooms. The auditorium will stay as is but will be wired for audio/visual and ... computer capability. The lower part of the campus is where most new construction and renovation will occur. A mariculture center is located on this property and is not part of our facility though it is on our land. Adjacent to our property to the east is the Alaska SeaLife Center. Four other buildings are on this site. There is a 13,000-ft2 warehouse and a 6400-ft2 wet laboratory. The warehouse is slowly shifting outward on its foundation. See the attached USKH report 2003090 SDBI. As quoted in this report, the warehouse would need about $65,000 of repairs to stabilize it. It is a solid building but needs to be insulated. There is some asbestos lagging on approximately 400- ft of piping that must also be removed. New siding, windows, and a new delivery door should be installed (16 foot high & 18 foot wide) that will open onto the dockside of the building. Remodeling of the interior to accommodate six offices and a 200-ft 2 electronics repair shop in addition to storage will be needed. The cost of rebuilding versus renovation of this structure will be evaluated and the most cost effective solution selected. This building or its replacement will become the future mooring shop. The other two buildings, the machine shop and mooring shop now located on this site will be demolished. The D.W. Hood laboratory exists and will have a second floor added. The addition will contain three dry labs plus a conference/classroom, offices (05 @ 150-ft2 ea.) and a computer room for 8 computers to be set up using wireless modems. A large space to serve as a file room, copy room, fax, and postal meter room will be included. An office supply storage area will also exist in the upper floor addition. This building was designed for adding a second level and it has a stainless exterior that may \-"l . \ need to be removed to have it blend into the new/renovated architecture. A major goal of this project is to present a campus type appearance versus the industrial appearance SMC now has. The Hood Lab (Silver Lab) building and existing warehouse will be connected and this space will contain a machine shop (2000-ft2), a welding shop (1200-ft2), an electrical shop (600-ft2) and a garage (3200-ft2) with a floor pit, and (200-ft2) flammable storage lockers. The garage must be at least 16 feet high to allow for crane maintenance. A HAZMAT storage space (352-ft2), and a carpenter shop (750-ft2), is also needed. Four offices in this area are desirable if possible. An outboard motor repair shop (500-ft2), a chill box and freezer (120-ft2 each), a scientific freezer (120-ft2) and a storage room (300- ft2) complete this area. Except for offices, all will be accessible by a forklift and the ability of each to have direct access to the staging area is desirable. A new warehouse will be constructed (13000-ft2) and have a delivery door capable ofloading/ unloading a large IS-wheeled delivery truck. This will be an insulated and heated building. It will be used to store science equipment and stage equipment for vessel loading/unloading operations. It will also serve as the shipping and receiving center for deliveries and shipments. Forklifts will operate in this building. One office is needed for the shipping/receiving clerk. A new administration building is needed. It should contain a reception area (20x 20 ft), class room/conference room (40 x20 ft), a mailroom, a copier/fax/file room (30 x 30 feet) and 5 administrative offices (SOO-ft2 total). Seven other single offices (S50-ft2 total) plus three large multi-user offices (600- ft2 total) for scientists and grad students will be needed. Eight other offices (1200-ft2) are anticipated for use by other agencies based in Seward plus an additionalSOO-ft2 for each agency (2400-ft2 total) for files, etc. This project will create a campus like atmosphere with a pleasing appearance in the uplands area. For this reason, all industrial type activities (loading/unloading ship, deliveries, etc,) will occur on the south side of the station and be shielded from public view by buildings. This area must also be accessible by delivery trucks and cranes. An all weather dock is needed for operations. The Center's dock requirements are attached separately. Part of the dock design and construction will be to dredge and clear out all debris in the dock basin. Seawall cells will be stabilized to prevent further erosion of the uplands. The ability to launch skiffs and outboards plus moor the 26-foot R/V Little Dipper will also be included in the waterfront area. Security of the dock and storage areas will be maintained. Access will be able to be controlled to these areas and particularly to Coast Guard portions of the dock in times of elevated security alerts. Overall the concept is designed to allow SMC to expand and operate efficiently for the next 50 years. Space, dock operations, shop support, etc. will be designed to meet this goal. \q, ........ ! ~ .. ~ ~ ........ ~ ........ ~ t; ........ .

The Seward Marine Center is a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) coastal research station and ship support station that is located. in the southwest corner of Seward near the Alaska SeaLife Center. The SMC consists of approximately 13 acres of land with roughly 800 lineal feet of oceanfront. EXISTING CONDITIONS Manne. The shoreline is largely undeveloped for boat use with the exception of a 150' long timber pile dock that extends south from the existing office/warehouse. The submarine topography slopes steeply down from the bank at an approximate slope of 2: 1 (2 horizontal: 1 vertical). The Lowell Creek Bypass exists to the west of the SMC property where access to the oceanfront is available'just off the road. An existing closed-cell sheet pile dolphin stands alone about 75 feet off the shoreline just west of the stream discharge on city owned property . -- Uoland The SMC upland can be divided into two areas: north of Railway (Armstrong) Ave and south of the avenue. The area to the north currently contains an apartment building and the K.M. Rae Educational Center. The area to the south, which abuts to the ocean, contains the following 4 SMC buildings. . . 13,000 ft2 Warehouse . 6,400 ft2 Wet Laboratory (aka Hood Lab or Silver Lab) · Machine Shop . Mooring Shop (aka Yellow Lab) A Mariculture plant and research center for shellfish, etc., is located to the west of the above building. This research center is located on SMC land but is privately owned. , . " ~ .'1 t'~ t// ~/ Page 2 Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. Seward Marine Center Concept June 2003 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Marine Marine improvements are intended to provide much needed vessel moorage space where large vessels involved with SMC activities can dock and use the facilities. Additionally, improvements will be made to City recreational/fisherman use areas in the vicinity of the SMC. The Seward Marine Center Concept consists of the following itemized marine improvements: 1) 800 LF of Permeable Wave Barrier with Dock Permeable wave barriers are a unique solution to creating basin areas in marine environments which cannot support traditional rubble-mound breakwater designs because of steep submarine slopes (which is the case of the SMC waterfront), lack of suitable fill :,}aterial, cnvircmnental ~Ol1cems, dc. A puolil,;ai.ion on permeable wave-barner technology and its benefits is included with this report. The wave-barrier will produce a 3-acre harbor basin that can accommodate vessels up to 300 ft in length. The wave-barrier will also have a dock and fender system for the entire length to accommodate the mooring of vessels to both the inside and outside faces of the barrier. ~ Cost Estimate = $6,400,000 2) 570 LF of Open-Cell Sheet Pile Bulkhead Open-cell sheet pile technology is a patented soil retaining system that PN&D has used throughout the world and extensively in Alaska. The system consists of using interlocking steel sheet piles in a cell formation with each cell being anchored back into the retained fill. The wall is held in place by the fill that it is retaining therefore reducing costs and construction difficulties commonly experienced by other soil retaining systems (e.g. closed-cell sheet pile bulkheads). The existing timber pile dock would be demolished to allow for construction of the new bulkhead. Dredging would also be required to lower the harbor basin floor to allow for larger vessel maneuvering. The bulkhead will allow for the docking of vessels up to 300' in length, which is much larger than the existing timber pile dock was able to accommodate. Additionally, it will provide a much-needed staging area between vessels and upland loading areas and buildings. A small open-cell sheet pile bulkhead will also be constructed at the beginning of the wave-barrier which will provide room for a dock crane. Cost Estimate = $2,850,000 1,) Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. Page 3 Seward Marine Center Concept June 2003 3) 3,100 SF of Mooring Float A wood mooring float will be constructed near the shoreline between the open-cell bulkhead .and the permeable wave barrier. The float will allow for smaller vessel moorage and accessibility. .i Cost Estimate = $232,500 4) Improved Fishing Access (City Owned & Managed) The oceanfront access available near the discharge of the Lowell Creek Bypass. will be improved with slope protection and pathways to allow for recreational access and use. Cost Estimate = $50,000 5) 75 LF of Gangway (City Owned & Managed) A new gangway will extend from the shoreline to the existing closed-cell sheet pile dolphin. This will provide access for sport fishing beyond the shoreline. Cost Estimate = $75,000 6) Additional Items: (8 Item Cost Estimate . Marine Outfall Lines $180,000 . Marine Demolition $1,000,000 . Dredging $840,000 . Dock Crane $50,000 . Armor Slope Protection $375,000 Upland The SMC concept is aimed at separating the industrial uses of the harbor and shops from the residential/city setting of Seward. The following existing buildings will be demolished due to the high costs that would be associated with remodeling, outfitting, and relocating to accommodate current and future SMC needs. · Machine Shop · Mooring Shop (aka Yellow Lab) · 13,000 ft2 Warehouse The following buildings will be added/remodeled with landscaping and parking as necessary and where available: . .J -"I ~ ~.,.,.... ..
