THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA S'V-ii-A1VL�S1K Sue McClure, Mayor Finch, Barnwell, Calhoon, Osenga, McClure City Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: March 13, 2023 To: City Council From: Janette Bower, City Manager Subject: Resolution 2023-031: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute R&M Engineering Task Order No. 2734.31, Completing a Public Safety Needs Assessment, And Appropriating Funds Background and justification: The current Police Department and Fire Department Facilities are well beyond their useful life and no longer meet the operational or community needs of Seward. For a number of years, the City of Seward has discussed the pros and cons of constructing standalone or combined facilities. Obtaining extensive information and data on this important decision will guide future projects and allow the City to pursue grants and other external funding mechanisms. In 2019, the Fire Chief received a call from Senator Murkowski's office stating funding was available for the construction of a new Fire Station if the City had a "shovel -ready project". However, no plans existed and the City did not obtain the funding. The goal is to be prepared to pursue any future funding opportunities. Task Order 2734.31 will produce the following deliverables: • Public Safety Building Needs Assessment & Site Selection Report • Site Selection recommendations • Conceptual Designs, Cost Estimates & Potential Funding Sources • Presentation to City Council and Administration in person A general anticipated schedule is as follows: • Task 1 completed by July 2023 • Task 2 completed by October 2023 • Task 3 and final project documentation completed by December 2023 Comprehensive and Strategic Plan Consistency Information This legislation is consistent with (citation listed): Comprehensive Plan: 1.3.4 Public Facilities and Services Strategic Plan: Other: Certification of Funds Total amount of funds listed in this legislation: $ 201,492 This legislation (✓): Creates revenue in the amount of: $ 149 x Creates expenditure in amount of: $ 201,492 Creates a savings in the amount of: Has no fiscal impact Funds are (✓): Budgeted Line item(s): Included in Capital Improvement Plan x $ Not budgeted Not applicable Fund Balance Information Affected Fund (✓): General Boat Harbor Motor Pool x SMIC Parking Other Electric Water Wastewater Healthcare Note: amounts are unaudited Fund Balance/Net position — unrestricted/unassigned $ 9,042,043 Finance Signature: x Yes Attorney Review Attorney Signature: Not applicable Comments: Administration Recommendation x Approve Resolution Other: 150 rmconsult.com R&M CONSULTANTS, INC. 9101 Vanguard Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99507 phone: 907.522.1707 fax: 907.522.3403 February 21, 2023 R&M No. 2734.31 Stephen Sowell Assistant City Manager City of Seward, Alaska 410 Adams St., City Hall Building Seward, Alaska 99664 RE: City of Seward Proposed Public Safety Building Needs Assessment & Site Selection Dear Mr. Sowell, R&M Consultants, Inc.
