CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION NO. 98-026
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PROCEED WITH
THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR BOARDWALK PROJECT BY AWARDING
THE PILE-DRIVING CONTRACT TO STORM CHASERS IN A NOT TO
EXCEED AMOUNT OF $60,000 AND BID THE REMAINDER OF THE
HARBOR BOARDWALK PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Small Boat Harbor Boardwalk between "B" and "D" floats in the Harbor
has been removed to allow construction of the new buildings along the waterfront as part of an
agreement reached last year between Lessee's and the City of Seward; and
WHEREAS, the total construction project related to the new lease sites includes installation
of sewer, water, and electricity along the West side of these sites, and the construction of a new
boardwalk along the East side of the sites; and
WHEREAS, there is now a need to construct a new boardwalk which will tie all of these
new lease sites together; and
WHEREAS, the engineer, Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc., has an estimated price
for the boardwalk of approximately $103,100 plus a 10% contingency of $10,000 and a 10%
administrative fee for a total of$123,100; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the public interest would be best served
by not requiring competitive bids/proposals and makes the following findings:
1) There is a local company on site and now available to drive the 38-8 inch pilings
required.
2) The only other company in Seward that could do this work, is not interested in
bidding this project because of equipment unavailability.
3) Bidding this project would add approximately three weeks to the construction time
and would not result in any cost savings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
Section 1. The City Council hereby approves Resolution No. 98-026, authorizing the City
Manager to proceed by awarding a pile-driving contract to Storm Chasers in a not to exceed amount
of $60,000 and bid the remainder ofthe boardwalk project, and if unable to obtain a proposer on the
project, the City Manager is authorized to proceed to complete the project with the use of city
employees.
