BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
An October 2010 inspection of the Seward Small Boat Harbor included a visual inspection of the
facilities in the southwest harbor including approach trestles,gangways,and floating docks A,B,C,
D, G and S Floats as well as the south harbor boat launch ramp. The Final Inspection Report issued
in January 2011 states, "The floating docks in this section of the harbor were constructed in the
1960's and are at or beyond their service life and should be replaced " The report went on to
recommend that A, B, C, D and S-Float be replaced. D-Float was replaced in 2013 and 2014.
In resolution 2014-057 Council approved the City Manager to submit a Municipal Harbor Facility
Grant Application for the replacement of B, C and S-float. In October 2014 DOT reported that the
City's grant application scored the highest compared to other harbors. The funds approved were
$2,684,000. On June 30, 2015,the Governor signed the 2016 Budget in which the City will receive
these funds.
In Resolution 2015-072 Council approved accepting grant funds in the amount of$2,684,000 and
executing a grant agreement with the State of Alaska Department of Transportation,Harbor Facility
Grant Program
The City's portion of the matching grant will come from the Harbor Maintenance Repair and
Replacement Fund, the Harbor Enterprise Fund, and Commercial Passenger Vessel Tax (CPV)
funds.
In the event of any of the $1,723,999 funding of CPV monies is required to be reimbursed, annual
repayment is proposed to come from the approximately$65,000 Capital repair and Replacement fees

Enterprise Fund Undesignated Reserves, likely necessitating a moorage rate increase of
approximately 6.6%, or a combination of rate increase and cost cuts..
