COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: December 8, 2003
Through: Phil Shealy, City Manager
From: Gerry Welsh, Manager of Engineering
and Construction
Agenda Item: Waterline Relocation Design and Engineering
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Construction of the second and final phase of the Seward Highway rehabilitation (Phase II of Project
53547, NHI-031-1(26)/53547, Seward Highway, MP 0 to 8) is expected to begin in calendar year
2005. The project includes a pedestrian underpass located near the intersection of the Seward
Highway and Iron Drive. This underpass conflicts with subsurface water and sewer lines located
parallel to and west of the Seward Highway, necessitating relocation of these lines.
The City of Seward has received authorization from the State of Alaska DOT&PF to relocate a
portion of our water transmission line adjacent to the Seward Highway at DOT expense, including
engineering costs. The DOT has approved CRW’s proposal to perform these design services. The
actual bidding and construction of utility relocations in this area will be handled by the DOT, which
will coordinate the work with the letting and construction of Seward Highway Phase II. The design
of the sewer conflict will be handled by the DOT engineers, and City personnel will ensure that sewer
relocation is coordinated with all work performed by CRW.
