City Council Agenda Statement

Meeting Date: December 18, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Doug Schoessler, Public Works Director
Subject: Resolution 2023-140: Authorizing Professional Design Services
from CRW Engineering Group,Inc. in the amount of$63,365.00 for
design and engineering services to complete construction of the
SMIC Hypochlorite Generator Project.
Background and justification:
On August 14,2023, City Council passed Resolution 2023-092 authorizing a loan from the
Alaska Drinking Water Fund with an intent to fund $476,000 with estimated principal
forgiveness of $238,000 for a total repayment of $238,000 for the SMIC Hypochlorite
Generator Pumphouse Addition Project for design and construction.
The current SMIC water system uses chlorine gas cylinders in the SMIC water pumphouse. The
declining availability and hazards of chlorine gas cylinders necessitates a change to the same
system that was already installed at the North Seward Water Plant facility. CRW Engineering
investigated sizing and other requirements for infrastructure in the SMIC water pumphouse.
City staff utilized the CRW report as part of a master project list to identify potential funding
sources. The SMIC Hypochlorite Generator Project was placed on the master project list because
of issues outlined in both reports and staff observations.
Funding from the Alaska Drinking Water Fund loan will be utilized for the project on a
reimbursement basis for design and construction as passed on the previous resolution 2023-
092.
