COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date
: June 26, 2006
Through:
Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From:
Tom Shepard, Project Manager
Agenda Item:
City Council to appropriate an additional $220,000 for the design of
the Long Term Care Facility to address the site re-design cost at the
new LTC site in Forest Acres.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
On July 13, 2005, City Council approved Resolution 2005-65, authorizing the use of Lots 11A
and 12A of the Fort Raymond Subdivision #1 as the site for the new Long Term Care Facility.
Following the approval of this Resolution, on November 28, 2005 Council approved Resolution
2005-131 appropriating $1.2 million for design work and entering into a contract with Architects
Alaska to conduct the long term care design.
The design for the project officially started December 5, 2005. Detailed site analysis was
conducted including two extensive geotechnical analyses, wetlands studies, a phase 1
environmental assessment, and a flood hazard analysis. The results of these studies were finalized
March 14, 2006. There were two mitigable results of interest.
After a further cost analysis review of the flood plain data it was determined that the fill in the
amount of $1.5 million would be required to get the long term care site adequately above the
base flood plain elevation set by FEMA.
The extensive geotechnical analysis determined that the soils at the Fort Raymond site are prone
to liquefaction in a seismic event to depths of 80’. After a preliminary foundation design was
completed, it was determined that the seismic mitigation costs are at $2 million for the Long
Term Care Facility. The combined cost to make the site buildable is $3.5 million.
Due to the deficiencies of the Fort Raymond site which would be costly to mitigate now, and
certainly in the future, City Council directed City Administration to purchase property in the
Forest Acres Subdivision.
On June 12, 2006, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2006-71 authorizing the city
manager to proceed with the acquisition of land in Forest Acres Subdivision for the site for the
Long Term Care Facility.
Due to the change in location for our Long Term Care Facility there will naturally be rework in
the site design. This entails site redesign and modification, general and detailed site surveys, a
two prong geotechnical investigation, re-platting, foundation redesign, etc…The anticipated cost
of the on-site redesign work is $220,000. This additional funding will complete the overall on-
site design of the LTC project.
Staff is requesting an additional $220,000 to complete the on-site design of the Long Term Care
Facility in Forest Acres.
