Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: October 9,2006
To: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: Tom Shepard, Project Manager
Agenda Item: Approve funding not to exceed $17,000 to
conduct a State of Alaska mandated design review for the new Long
Term Care Facility
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
:
The City of Seward is in the final stages of design for the new Long Term Care (LTC) facility that
will be located in North Forest Acres. The new facility will be a Greenhouse facility which, when
constructed, will be the first of its kind in the state of Alaska.
All health care facilities constructed in the state of Alaska require a Health Facility Construction
License from the state of Alaska as required by Title 7, Chapter 9 of the Alaska Administrative
Code. Part of this licensing requirements is that state of Alaska obtains “a letter by a third party
engineering firm certifying that the design and construction drawings and specifications for the
health facility meet the requirements of 7AAC 12.437, 7AAC 12.900 and other applicable state
and local fire safety, electrical, building, plumbing, mechanical, and construction codes.” (7 AAC
09.030).
On August 24, 2006 Administration solicited quotes from three engineering firms familiar with
both the “Greenhouse” model of care and familiar with healthcare design in general.
Administration elected not to conduct a true competitive bid procedure due to the unique qualities
of the scope of work. These unique qualities include being familiar with the Greenhouse model of
healthcare that our new LTC facility will be; being familiar with healthcare design standards,
etc…This thought process is in line with SCC 6.10.120 (8) as it pertains to professional services.
CTA Architects Engineers met all of the pertinent qualifications and did provide the lowest quote
of the three to fulfill the state of Alaska required engineering review certification for our LTC
facility design.
Staff is requesting Council to approve funding not to exceed $17,000, (includes a 10% contingency),
to be appropriated to CTA Architects Engineers to conduct a State of Alaska mandated design review
for the new LTC Facility.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive
Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
