City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: January 24, 2022
To: City Council
From: Janette Bower, City Manager
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-010: Approving Amendment No. 3 to the Operating
Contract Between the City of Seward and Seward City Tours
Background and justification:
The City of Seward's 2030 comprehensive plan specifically includes the provision of a seasonal
shuttle bus service which will add to local small business growth. The City has provided for a shuttle
bus service for this purpose since 2010 using funds from the Commercial Passenger Vessel Tax
(CPV). No CPV funds will be received by the City for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 due to a lack of
cruise ship visitation. Many of the passengers use this service to travel from the Cruise Ship Dock to
downtown Seward. This in turn has a positive impact on many businesses in Seward. The shuttle
service has proven to be of a benefit to visiting tourists, Seward community members, and
local businesses. Seward City Tours and the City of Seward entered an operating agreement in
2018 to continue this valuable service to the community.
In 2019, the contract was amended via Amendment No. 1 to extend the agreement, increase
the contract rate, and allow for the City Manager to bring a resolution to City Council for
extensions in 2022 and 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the cruise ship industry to be
unable to visit Seward in 2020 and 2021.
Amendment No. 2 was agreed to by both parties on May 4, 2021, and reduced the scope of
service to daily service from 11 am to 6 pm starting at the train depot and providing
transportation for visitors to access the historical downtown district. The amendment reduced
the rate from $161,335 to $83,800.
Resolution 2021-125 approved the extension of the operating agreement as modified through
Amendment No. 2 in 2022 at the base level of $83,800 with the expectation that a
supplemental resolution would be forthcoming should the City expect to receive a normal level
of cruise ship visitation in 2022. Amendment No. 3 fulfills the commitment to provide for a
return to a normal level of service based upon the expectation that Seward will receive 99
cruise ships in 2022.

down town business centers. As a resident and the owner o.f SewardCityTours,
he has witnessed the difficulties previous operators have experienced when.
dealing with the dynamic hour-tO-liour ridership demand on cruise ship days.
These past experiences, allowed the owner to approach this contract with first
hand insight as an operator and as a Seward resident.
While. the contractcan be simplified to providing seats to move people from
point A to point B, the reality is this service provides a crucial initial experience
for those visiting Seward, Alaska. SewardCityTours aims to exceed.
transportation needs of our visitors, by ensuring their first impression is a
positive experience by providing safe, clean and comfortable transportation
services. The term letterhead' is often used to refer to the whole sheet.
imprinted with such a heading. Many corriparties and individuals prefer to create
a letterhead template in a word processor or other software application. This
generally includes the same inforrnatio.n as pre-printed stationery but without
the additional costs involved.
Sincerely,
Jonah Swiderski
Owner and Operator

SewardCityTours (SCT) was founded in 2017 when it was clear that there was a.
need in Seward for additional transportation services. The idea was not only to
provide a service but. also surpass customer expectations. SewardCityTours is,
not simply a transportation or shuttle company. In it's conception STC offered
h.i.st.orical city tours as well as a comprehensive orientation of Seward itself. The
business model emphasizes that customer service is a part of a complete
experience. Guest satisfaction begins with the first greeting of each guest, to a
clean climate controlled vehicle with comfortable seats; and a driver/guidethat
is both knowledgeable and friendly.
SewardCityTours intends on extending these guidelines to the Seasonal
Transportation Services Contract. Each person that. uses the .free shuttle is a
potential ambassador of Seward., when they retur..nhome they share their stories
and experiences. Their friends and .family will travel to Seward and past visitors
will return which will only flourish our already thriving corn.rnunity.
The owners Jonah Swiderski and Yen Ly have a combined 20 years of
experience between them in tourism, many of those years based right here in.
Alaska. STC's. cruise ship termin..al staff will be undergo crowd control training
and be clear communicators. Their knowledge of the transportation system and.
key points of interest in Seward will surpass what guests have come to expect..
Driver/Guides will assist guests with 'loading and .unloading luggage as well as,
provide accurate information on Alaska Railroad schedules and policies
regarding luggage storage. STC drivers will have customer service training and
have extensive knowledge on local attractionsand amenities,

The three vehicles have the combined ca.p.acity to move 66 passengers at any
given time. it is crucial to point out that the type of vehicle being considered in
this 0proposal. is different from what has been used in the past. The smaller
vehicles are .equipped to .inake additional trips in any given amount of .time as
their design is easier for passengers to load luggage..and both embark and.
disembark the vehicle.
SewardCityTours shares the City ofSeward's desire to welcome all individuals
and reduce barriers. Thus SewardCityTours will provide an ADA compliant
vehicle operating the base transportation route 7-days a week. This surpasses
the bid documents requirement, for an ADA compliant vehicle on cruise ship
days (only).

ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during
employment without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry,

ordered in writing by the Contracting Officer. Preparation of Change
Orders and design changes, due to errors and/or omissions by the
Contractor, will be done at the sole expense of the Contractor.
26.2 Changes in Scope of Work. The City or its representative may, at any
time, by a written Change Order delivered to the Contractor, make
changes to the scope of work, or authorize additional work outside the

of the notification of change; provided, however, that the City or its
representative, deciding that the facts justify such action, may receive and
act upon any such claim asserted at any time prior to final payment under
this Agreement. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute
within the meaning of Section 25.0 of this Agreement.
27.0 LIMITATION OF FUNDS.
27.1 At no time will any provision of this Agreement make the City or its
representative liable for payment for performance of work under this
Agreement in excess of the amount that has been appropriated by the City
Council and obligated for expenditure for purposes of this Agreement.
27.2 Change orders issued pursuant to Section 26 of this Agreement shall not
be considered an authorization to the Contractor to exceed the amount
allotted in the absence of a statement in the change order, or other
modification increasing the amount allotted.
27.3 Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the City under Section 17 to
terminate this Agreement.
28.0 PRIOR WORK. For the purposes of this Agreement, work done at the request of
the City or its representative before execution of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be work done after its execution and shall be subject to all the conditions
contained herein.

shall be sufficient if sent by the parties in the United States mail, postage paid, to
