City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
To: City Council
From: Janette Bower, City Manager
Subject: Resolution 2023-035: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute R&M
Engineering Task Order No. 2734.25.03, Completing the 35% Design of A
New Public Works Facility, and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
On October 10, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution 2022-094 directing the City Manager to
proceed with the Public Works Facility Project at the Fort Raymond Property and approving R&M
Engineering tasks related to geotechnical services. R&M was on site the first week of November to
complete the drilling and the report is forthcoming.
Task Order 2734.25.03 will continue work on the engineering, design, and cost estimate for
construction of the new Public Works Facility. The goal is to complete this design work and have an
estimate in time for City Council to pass a resolution to place the question on the ballot for the
qualified City of Seward voters to consider approval of a general obligation bond which would be
necessary to fund the construction of the new facility.
Deliverables:
• 35% Design (Building, Site Work, Driveways, Utilities with Code and Permit Analysis)
• Construction Cost Estimate from Independent Cost Estimator
Schedule:
After Notice to Proceed (NTP), R&M will work with our subconsultants for
completing the 35% Design and Construction Cost Estimate by July 2023.

RE: On -Call Engineering Services Contract Task Order (#25.03)
New Public Works Facility 35% Design and Construction Cost Estimate
Dear Ms. Bower,
We are pleased to submit this fee proposal to the City of Seward (City) under our On -Call
Engineering Services contract for Design of the New Public Works Facility. R&M Consultants,
Inc. (R&M) will provide project management, civil engineering, structural engineering, and
agency coordination. R&M is assisted by KPB Architects for Architectural Design, CRW
Engineering Group, LLC for Mechanical & Electrical Engineering and third -party structural
peer review. HMS, Inc. will provide Construction Cost Estimating services.
Our project team has recently completed the scoping phase of the project which provided
concept design of the site layout, floor plan, code analysis amenities, utilities and permitting
with conceptual construction cost estimate. A Geotechnical Investigation of the selected site
is currently being completed under Task Order (TO) 25.oi. R&M is finalizing a topographic
design survey on the site. Re -platting design activities are in progress by R&M and will be
coordinated with this project.
Our Time and Expense (T&E) fee estimate Not to Exceed (NTE) $268,093 for the services as
described above is enclosed with KPB, CRW and HMS subconsultant proposals. We anticipate
the core and shell of the building to be a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) that will be
designed and constructed by the construction contractor according to a performance
specification included in the Contract Documents. A Construction Cost Estimate will be
developed adequate establish the bond value needed for voter approval.
Deliverables
• 35% Design (Building, Site Work, Driveways, Utilities with Code and Permit Analysis)
• Construction Cost Estimate from Independent Cost Estimator
Schedule: After Notice to Proceed (NTP), R&M will work with our subconsultants for
completing the 35% Design and Construction Cost Estimate by July 2023.
Please review let us know if you have any questions or require additional information.

City of Seward New Public Works Facility Design — 35% M+E Design and Structural Review
Proposed Scope & Fee - Revised
Assumptions made in preparing this proposal are as follows:
1) Solar power panels may be located on the roof of the building. CRW will evaluate ideal panel
layout and estimate electricity to be generated from the solar panels. Solar power system will
not backfeed to utility.
2) CRW will design the lighting system based upon the usage of Power Over Ethernet (POE)
lighting, based on products readily and commercially available in Alaska, and locally supported.
The POE lighting shall be able to be integrated into the Building Automation System.
3) The generator and fuel tank will be located outside, and the only Hazardous Location is the
garage bays.
4) Others will select open office furniture or will inform CRW if the furniture is hardwired or
connects to a receptacle.
5) Cable tray will be used to the full extent possible to minimize raceway costs and support future
changes.
6) No Fire Alarm design or specifications are included in the CRW effort.
We look forward to assisting the R&M Consultants with this effort. If you have any questions or
comments regarding this proposal, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
