Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: September 26, 2005 To: Clark Corbridge, City Manager From: Scott Ransom, Harbormaster Agenda Item: Resolution Accepting a $2 million grant from the State of Alaska Dept. of Commerce & Economic Development for Harbor T-dock and Bulkhead BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The T-Dock and Bulkhead project was submitted as a 2005 legislative priorities request. The City requested $3.5 million for the entire project. This project would: 1) relocate and upgrade the Travelift pit and maintenance area; 2) add a bulkhead that will be used for temporary moorage for loading/unloading of fishing vessels; 3) rehabilitate the old Lift Dock (“I” Dock) adding power and fire protection for fishing vessels; and 4) upgrade the old City “T” Dock for loading/unloading and fueling. This project would provide significantly improved facilities for the commercial fishing fleet using the Seward Fisheries, a major fish processing facility in south-central Alaska. Fishing vessels up to 180 feet visit the docks along the north end of the harbor throughout the year to unload their catch at Seward Fisheries, change fishing gear, re-supply, fuel, make repairs, make crew changes and wait for fish openings and/or weather. The existing facilities constructed as early as 1965 are in poor condition and in need of significant repair, and upgrade to adequately serve the commercial fleet. We received a $2 million legislative grant for this project. This money will be used for the first phase of a multi-phase project aimed at repairing and upgrading existing dock facilities located in the northern portion of the Seward Small Boat Harbor, building a new sheet pile bulkhead, and travel lift dock. This phase of the project will begin with a preliminary inspection and condition assessment to determine the required scope of repairs, followed by development of planning specifications, design plans, and construction cost estimates. The City’s priorities in this phase of the project include re- decking I and T Docks, replacing broken fender piling and any damaged structure piling. Also, new electrical and water systems will be installed on these docks. Minor upgrades will be made to the existing travelift runway for the new 50-ton travelift which will be purchased with motor pool funds. INTENT: Accept a grant to re-deck I and T Docks, replace broken fender piling, repair or replace damaged structure piling, and install new electrical and water systems on these docks. Minor upgrades will be made to the existing Travelift runway to prepare it to accommodate the new replacement 50-ton Travelift. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures. FISCAL NOTE: This is a cost-reimbursable grant which does not require a match, and is eligible to reimburse up to 10% of the project’s administrative costs. In certain cases, direct payments may be made to specific vendors for large purchases. Approved by Finance Department: ________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the city manager to accept a grant in the amount of $2,000,000 from the State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development Designated Legislative Grant Program to the Harbor T-Dock and Bulkhead Capital Project Fund.
