Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 25, 2005
To: Seward City Council
Through: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: Scott A. Ransom, Harbormaster
Agenda Item: Resolution to Adopt Construction Phase for the Inner-Harbor Expansion to begin fall
2005
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The East Harbor Expansion project is moving towards completion, the break wall and dredging are
nearing completion and we are now ready to begin construction on the inner-harbor floats and
renovation. At this time, Tryck Nyman Hayes estimates the preliminary cost for the floats and
renovation to be in excess of $9 million. We have roughly $500,000 available. We will use additional
revenues from the recently approved increase in moorage rates and the increased number of slips, to
secure bonding to cover construction costs. Authorization to issue bonds will be addressed by
council by means of a separate resolution.
Selected option Alternative Two will include: E, F, and J floats including all utilities, Q float
including water, fire, electric with trestle and gangway, M, N, O, and P floats including water, fire and
electric, relocation of the fuel float, and X float moved with a trestle and gangway also constructed.
Other associated upland items include: surveying, geotechnical investigation, gravel access to Q float
gangway, water service to Q and X float gangway, electric service to each area, fire hydrant,
restrooms at the South Harbor, sewer utility service to restrooms, oil and solid waste collection area,
engineering/construction and administrative costs.
The project subtotal is estimated at $5,286,000. With 15% contingency, the entire project totals
$6,079,000.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No

FISCAL NOTE:

project. This will require financing the remaining project costs through revenue bonds, in addition to
funding additional annual operating costs estimated at $160,000. Options for financing revenue
bonds include a moorage rate increase as well as other possible funding options. The city will
continue to pursue grant opportunities.
