Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 9, 2012
e
To: Jim Hunt, City Manager
Front Mack Funk, Harbormaster
Agenda Item: Accepting Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee
Council grant in the amount of $89,725, and
appropriating funds
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: In September 2011 the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee
Council approved the City's grant application for designing and later constructing the Vessel Wash -
Down and Wastewater Recycling Facility at the Seward Marine Industrial Center. This grant does
not require matching funds, but it is only for the design phase of the project in the amount of
$89,725. The grant agreement (attached) includes a schedule and scope of work leading to final
construction plans and specifications.
The grant agency, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, has indicated that the construction money
in the amount of $649,375 will be approved in September 2012. It is expected that actual
construction will occur in 2013.
This project was conceived several years ago and it will result in significant environmental improvement
by collecting potentially toxic chemicals and properly disposing of waste streams. The Resurrection Bay
Conservation Alliance endorsed the Port's grant application by letter on April 28, 2009 (attached).
INTENT: The Council Resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute the grant agreement.
The Harbormaster will serve as project manager. A Request for Proposals from engineering firms
is pending. It is anticipated that Council will be asked to approve an engineering contract for the
design work within the next 30 days.
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 or Other Plans or Policies.
This project is consistent with Seward zoning and with the Seward Marine Industrial Center
Development Plan.
FISCAL NOTE: This grant does not require matching funds; it is only for the design phase of the
project in the amount of $89,725. The recently approved 2012/2013 City Capital Improvement Plan
includes $1,500,000 for Vessel repair infrastructure, but there is currently no City funding available
for such infrastructure.
