An initial agreement was signed between the City and the Operator (Seward Ship's Drydock, Inc.) on li April 25, 1995 relating to the Shiplift Premises regarding Maintenance and Operating standards. A second Maintenance and Operating Agreement was signed again on March 30, 2000, and several agreements were signed to continue this agreement in following years. This 7` agreement to extend the Maintenance and Operating agreement is set to expire January 31, 2011. i On June 1, 2009 the Seward City Council went into Executive Session again to discuss possible litigation with Seward Ship's Drydock. Council announced that they had given direction to the o City Manager on how to proceed with Seward Ship's Drydock in regards to their Maintenance and Operating Agreement. The City Manager has discussed the status of the splash zone coating on the piling and the cofferdam cells and the need for this area to be coated. The coating was applied by Seward Ship's Drydock and the City contracted with a NACE- certified coatings t inspector to evaluate the application and condition of the coatings during September 2010. This report is attached. The coating of the splash -zone on the sheet piling is not complete, and at a minimum the coating must extend to mean low water. Full lease credits will not be granted for 1 the splash zone coating until it is complete. 4 This eighth extension to the maintenance and operating agreement provides the City time to negotiate a new agreement, rather than extending the existing document and piecing together revisions through each separate extension. If the City and Seward Ship's Drydock cannot agree on revisions and updates to this document, the Maintenance and Operating Agreement will expire on August 31, 2011. Updates to the Agreement include defining the term managed parcel (with the 2002 re -plat and current lease language), eliminating references to deferred maintenance if it is deemed completed, and defining continuing maintenance. If the Operating Agreement is not extended, the City would be faced with operating the Shiplift facilities on its own or shutting it down until a new operator is in place. 1 INTENT: To approve the City Manager to sign the eighth extension to the Maintenance & Operating Agreement with Seward Ships DryDock. I CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures or Other Plans or Policies: 1 Yes (List Below) No 1. Comprehensive Plan Economic Development... 2. Strategic Plan Economic Base... FISCAL NOTE: Section 3.06 of the 2000 Maintenance and Operating Agreement states "Prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, Operator shall prepare and file with the City an operating plan for the ensuing Fiscal Year. The operating plan shall include an estimate of revenues and expenses and a schedule of repairs and maintenance and Deferred Maintenance to be performed during the Fiscal Year." Section 3.08 of the 2000 Maintenance and Operating Agreement states "With each annual operating plan submitted to City, Operator shall propose rates and charges for use of the Shiplift Facility. Such rates and charges shall not discriminate among users of a class of service or among different classes of service. Rates and charges do not discriminate among classes of service if they are reasonably related to the cost of providing each class of service, allocated according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. City shall adopt rates and charges proposed by Operator that conform to the standards in this section." No rates or charges have been proposed by the Operator. Approved by Finance Department: ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes No X RECOMMENDATION: City Council approve Resolution 2011- authorizing the City Manager to sign the Eighth Amendment to the Maintenance and Operating Agreement with Seward Ship's Drydock. EIGHTH AGREEMENT TO EXTEND THE TERM OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING AGREEMENT WITH SEWARD SHIP'S DRYDOCK The Maintenance and Operating Agreement effective March 30, 2000, as amended P g g October 26, 2001 (the "Agreement ") was entered into between the City of Seward, Alaska, an Alaska municipal corporation ( "City ") whose address is P.O. Box 167, Seward, Alaska 99664 and Seward Ship's Drydock, Inc. ( "Operator ") whose address is P.O. Box 944, Seward, Alaska 99664. WHEREAS, the Operator has been maintaining and operating the City's shiplift facility since 1995, consisting generally of a Syncrolift Shiplift System, Ship Transfer System, dock, and related rail systems (the " Shiplift Facility "); and WHEREAS, the Operator and the City have entered into a Lease Agreement ( "Lease "), to operate a vessel repair and construction facility on land adjacent to the shiplift facility; and WHEREAS, the operator has taken steps toward completing the coating application on the pipe pile and cofferdam cells but agrees that some additional coating remains to be applied , particularly to the mean low tide area of the pile and cells, and there are areas that need additional surface preparation and possible reapplication of the coating to meet the manufacturer's standards; and WHEREAS, on June 22, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009 -049 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the Renewal of Term of the Maintenance and Operating Agreement containing a temporary extension until September 30, 2010; and WHEREAS, on September 27, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010 -085 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the Renewal of Term of the Maintenance and Operating Agreement containing a temporary extension until January 31, 2011; and WHEREAS, additional time is sought by both parties to evaluate and update the language in the Maintenance & Operating Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: Section 1. The Operator will complete the application of coating on the sheet pile and cofferdam cells during the period of this Amendment to no less than 2 feet above mean low water, and to a lower level when tides and weather permit, to the manufacturer's recommendations, as set forth in Exhibit A to this Amendment and incorporated herein by reference The City contracted with QA Services, Inc. to visit the site and inspect the coating. The results of that inspection are attached as Exhibit B hereto. In case of a dispute between the City and the Operator concerning the coating, the coating manufacturer or the manufacturer's representative, at the City's expense, shall verify whether the coating has been properly applied. Section 2. The Operator agrees to diligently work with the Seward City Manager to evaluate and update language in the Maintenance and Operating Agreement during the term of this extension agreement. Section 3. The Agreement Term as described in Section 2.01 of the Agreement is hereby extended from January 31, 2011 to September 30, 2011. Section 4. In consideration for an additional extension of time, Section 4 of the Sixth Amendment to the Agreement is revised as follows: Upon completion of the coatings, the term of the Maintenance and Operating Agreement shall be extended for a full five year term and the City will withdraw its March 2009 notice of default. The Agreement shall be amended to delete Section 3.02(b). Section 3.03 is deleted and replaced with the following language: Section 3.03 — Operator's Administrative Overhead. Amounts considered to have been expended by Operator for purposes of the Agreement and the Lease shall include only Operator's direct costs for performing maintenance, and providing replacements and improvements, without any allowance for markup or profit. Such amounts may include an allowance for administrative overhead which shall not exceed 10 %, provided that the allowance may be increased to a maximum of 13.5% if Operator documents the basis for the increased allowance to the City's satisfaction. Section 5. The extension of time allowed by this amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the City or Operator. Section 6. All other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. Section 7. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Seward City Council and shall become effective upon the signatures of both parties. DATED this 28 day of January, 2011.

An epoxy resin polyamide coating especially developed to withstand extreme corrosive and abrasive conditions which quickly destroy conventional type protective paint coatings. FGI - 6500 was originally developed to prevent corrosion to steel surfaces. The chemical, abrasion and undercreep resistance characteristics of this product have proven so outstanding that it is considered to be the least expensive method to prevent corrosion. This product has been in constant use for over 40 years in applications as diverse as offshore platforms to subways. FGI - 6500 is designed for adhering to almost any clean surface including: aluminum, wood, metals of all types, concrete, plastic, brick, glass, and transites. The few surfaces FGI -6500 is not recommended for are Teflon, high - plasticized vinyls, polyethylene, and silicone rubber. FGI - 6500 has excellent anti - corrosion qualities and hardness yet it remains extremely flexible so as not to crack. This is the ultimate corrosion protection on hot steam pipes that have much expansion and contraction of the metal. The flexibility of the FGI -6500 prevents it from cracking. Outdoor durability and color stability is excellent. FGI -6500 is extremely Weather, UV, Chemical, Salt, and Abrasion resistant providing for an unsurpassed durable wear surface with superior adhesion properties that promotes a nearly indestructible coating surface. FGI - 6500 requires little surface preparation thus reducing the time, labor and the TOTAL cost of your project.

Application Methods FGI - 6500 may be applied by brush, roller, spray or dipping. Surfaces should be free of loose rust, mill scale, paint, grease, oil and of any other film- forming foreign material. An example of Rev. 06 -30 -08 1;xh� b, Product Data Sheet FGI — 6500 Corrosion Protection Coating the prep work needed is to water blast with high - pressure (3,000 psi MIN) water to thoroughly clean off all debris, dirt, and other contaminates. The result shall be to have a clean tight substrate. Optimum results are obtained if the surface is dry although entirely satisfactory protection is obtained if the surface is damp and /or wet. Surplus water should be removed to prevent excessive bubbling of the coating. No primer is needed on metal surfaces thereby reducing total job cost. Airless spray is the most efficient application method for larger projects. Brushes and rollers may be used for detail work such as edge termination, filling of voids, pinholes, and small cracks. MIXING: Thoroughly mix (1 to 1 ratio) activator (part "A ") with base (part "B ") for 5 minutes with a power mixer until all streaks and /or lumps disappear and the mixture has uniform color and Fv consistency. Be sure to allow mixing blade to rub on sides and bottom of container to recombine any settling. Allow to stand (or ingest) for 45 minutes to one hour before adding thinner or application. Use of thinner increases possibility of sag and reduces dry film thickness. Thinner also retards cure time. For best results, use just as it comes from the can. However, thinner (use lacquer thinner) can be added to the product with no harm to the coating. Thinning will necessitate applying more coats to achieve the desired mil thickness. Any overspray and equipment must be cleaned immediately with acetone, toluene, xylene, or MEK. FGI -6500 is 60% solids. Approximate Pot Life: 4 to 6 hours at 80 F. Drying time 1 to 2 hours at 80 F. Curing time: Initial: 8 hours at 80 F, Complete: 3 days at 80 F. Apply 5 mils (.005 inches or 0.127mm) wet to achieve a final dry mil thickness of 3 mils (0.003 inches or 0.076 mm). FGI- 6500 will cover approximately 320 square feet per gallon at 3 mils thickness. If second coat is needed wait till first coat is tacky dry, usually one to two hours in 80 F, The second coat may be applied at 3.5 mils (0.0035 inches or 0.089 mm) wet to achieve a dry mil thickness of 2 mils (0.002 inches or 0.05 mm). This second coat will cover any voids in the surface due to a very rough surface. Max of 10 mils (0.01 inches or 0.254 mm) can be applied per coat without runs if necessary. An example of the suggested Spray Equipment: Graco 5900 with 0.021 to 0.031 tip size with 3000 PSI capability and typically a reversible self - cleaning tip. Remove all filters from gun and hose, including bung hose. Use in well ventilated area; if not possible, use a NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus or vapor filters on a mask. Protective gloves and safety glasses must be worn at all times. Only very high abrasion will remove the coating. Caution: With the extreme adhesion characteristics of this product all safety procedures must be followed. Customers should consult FGI on all special requirement installations. Storage Stability & Shelf Life The shelf life of FGI -6500 is one year when stored in original, unopened container. Store cans in a well ventilated and covered area away from extreme heat and moisture. Please contact your FGI representative if you have any questions about product usability.

Tide at this time was minus 1.5 and conditions were calm. We conducted observations and inspections around sheet pile buffer and pipe piles under dock area. My observations are as follows: • Surface preparation and coatings were very erratic in base elevation as attached photos show. The maintenance preparation and coatings should be between high and low tide elevations as this is the most corrosive environment. Coatings were taken to the top of all pile but the splash zone is most critical. Recommend complete preparation and coating to low tide level • Poor surface preparation prior to coating was encountered throughout both sheet and pipe pilings. Loose scale, barnacles, particulate matter, etc. was observed on coated surfaces resulting in voids in coating system. Oxidation present in these areas. Large flakes of detaminated oxidation were easily picked off, revealing uncoated surfaces underneath. Coating manufactured recommends high pressure washing at minimum 3000 psig. Contractor was not conducting surface preparation while observations were being conducted. Due to the levels of oxidation and surface defects observed, I would recommend surface preparation by abrasive blasting with a nickel slag or garnet abrasive ( no EPA concerns ) or at a minimum, water jetting per SSPC -SP 12, which requires a minimum 10.000 psig or greater and would be much more effective in removing oxidation and other organic contamination in order to expose a solid substrate in which to coat. • Several attempts to measure dry film thickness of maintenance coatings were indeterminate due to levels of oxidation. Nutnerous holidays were observed as well as concentrated corrosion in the pinhole form on surfaces prepared and coated. Manufacturer's data sheet for the product being utilized recommends a dry film thickness of 3 -8 mils. and in my opinion, is not adequate to encapsulate the substrate. I would recommend surface preparation as stated above and coating with a 100% solids Polyurea product to attain a dry film thickness of 60 -250 mils in order to better encapsulate the substrate and any surface defects. • Adhesion testing of the maintenance coatings were taken at 3 locations, all high on the sheet pile, out of the splash zone. Results were as follows 1. Inside sheet pile, 448 psi, adhesive failure 2. End sheet pile, 128 psi, coating failure 3. Outside sheet pile, 274 psi, adhesive failure Adhesion is marginal at best and results need to be taken in the splash zone, which is difficult to attain due to cure time of dolly adhesives. • As no surface preparation was being conducted during our observations, no testing for surface contaminates was conducted. In overview, my opinion of the maintenance being conducted is very poor to poor at best. The amount of oxidation already present on surfaces prepared and coated is disturbing. Surface preparation is the most key element in the longevity of a properly specified and applied coating system. With what is currently being done. the extended life of the pilings will be very little. I suggest consulting a corrosion engineering firm for further recommendations and analysis.
