BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The City of Seward received a Congressional Earmark for Seward Road Improvements in Section 115 funds. In order to proceed with the project, the city manager needs Council’s approval to develop a scope of work for the Alaska Department of Transportation (ADOT). ADOT has requested a thorough scope of work, schedule and budget from the City before they can assign a project manager. City public works have conducted a condition assessment of Seward’s streets and have determined the priority order of necessary repairs. The administration recommends using the Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to refurbish existing asphalt surfaces based on the outcome of the City’s road condition assessment developed by the City Public Works Director. 1. Comprehensive Plan __ 2. Strategic Plan X Improving City Infrastructure: Promote residential and commercial development Inside the city 3. Other: __ FISCAL NOTE: Earmarks are handled on a reimbursable basis. These funds will not require a local match and are 100% federally funded. Section 115 funds experienced a 0.8% rescission, meaning that the Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for Seward Road Improvements is reduced by Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000.00). All federal-aid projects require ADOT oversight and are therefore subject to a maximum ADOT administrative fee of 4.3% for FFY’06. This rate is adjusted each year and could be increased or reduced in future years. Approved by Finance Department RECOMMENDATION: Council approve Resolution 2005-X authorizing the city manager to develop a scope of work for the Section 115 Seward Road Improvements to refurbish existing asphalt surfaces based on the highest priority of the City’s road condition assessment developed by the City Public Works Director.
