When city land is sold, it is important for the city's infrastructure to be protected and for the city to have access for maintenance. As the City is proceeding with the sale of the Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute land, there is a need to create three easements. This requires surveying the property,the placement of each easement, and processing those with the Borough. Creation of the easements was included as a provision in the purchase and sale agreement between CRRC and the City. Deliverables from Task Order 2734.28 include: • Waterline Easement • Sewer Line Easement over two tracts (two easements) • Access Easement for Lowell Creek Outfall • Access Easement for Storm Drain Outfall Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: 1.3.4, 3.7.1.2 Strategic Plan: Other: Certification of Funds Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ 28,184 This legislation (✓): Creates revenue in the amount of: $ ✓ Creates expenditure in amount of: $ 28,184 Creates a savings in the amount of: $ Has no fiscal impact Funds are (✓): Budgeted Line item(s): 01000-1122-7009 Contracted Services ✓ Not budgeted Not applicable 62 Fund Balance Information Affected Fund (✓): ✓ General SMIC Electric Wastewater Boat Harbor Parking F1 Water F1 Healthcare Motor Pool Other Note:amounts are unaudited Fund Balance/Net position - restricted $ 2,575,000.00 Fund Balance/Net position - unrestricted/unassigned $ 8,260,3777.52 Available Unrestricted Cash Balance: $ 10,189,835.04 Finance Signature: 3444- (;�� Attorney Review eYes Attorney Signature: ✓ Not applicable Comments: Administration Recommendation e✓ Adopt Resolution Other: 63 December 6, 2022 R&M No. 2734.28 Jason Bickling Community Development Director City of Seward,Alaska 410 Adams St.,City Hall Building Ll ok Seward,Alaska 99664 • RE: Task Order 28—101 Railway Avenue Document Easements Dear Mr. Bickling, CONSULTANTS,INC.

We have reviewed the materials provided to Anchorage,Alaska 99507 us and have prepared the following cost estimate for your review and comment. phone:907.522.1707 We understand that you would like us to produce exhibits and legal descriptions for four document fax:907.522.3403 easements for utilities that fall within Tracts 1A and 113, Waterfront Tracts, Mariculture Addition, according to Plat No. 97-18. The easements will be based on the surveyed location of each utility and referenced to the tract boundary in which they fall. A boundary survey of the two tracts will be required, and we will field locate all associated utilities. Specifically,the location of the sewer and water lines will be determined based on above ground evidence and any underground locate marks that the city is able to provide. The storm drain outfall will be located as well and serve as the basis for the access easement within Tract 1B. The configuration of the easements will be determined through discussions with the City of Seward and your office. We anticipate creating a map exhibit showing the tract boundaries and the utility locations that can be marked up by you before creating the final documents. Final documents for each easement will include an Exhibit A containing the legal description, and an Exhibit B containing the exhibit. Each document will be stamped by a professional land surveyor and can be included with final easement documents produced by your office. Deliverables: ■ Legal descriptions and exhibits for four easements Schedule: We can begin the project within one week of receiving the Notice-to-Proceed (NTP). We expect to produce the final products within four to six weeks of NTP depending on how quickly we can determine the final configuration of the easements. Cost Estimate: Based on the scope and our understanding of the project, we propose a Time & Materials Fee amount $28,184. We have attached a detailed breakdown of our estimated costs for your review.
