A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING A
BUDGET TRANSFER WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS CAPITAL
PROJECT FUND FROM THE FIRST STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT TO A
PROJECT TO PAVE NORTH SPRUCE STREET.
WHEREAS, a State of Alaska Legislative Grant and $150,000 from the General Fund

sufficient to complete the project leaving the $150,000 from the General Fund available
for redirection to other projects; and,
WHEREAS, as part of the State of Alaska Spur Highway rehabilitation project occurring
within the City, the State and its contractor have offered to pave North Spruce Street,
the major detour route for the final culvert replacement portion of the project, for a cost

WHEREAS, estimated actual cost to pave the road is between $75,000 and $85,000;
and,
WHEREAS, paving North Spruce Street will have long lasting benefits to the City, will
reduce impact to residents during project detouring, and is likely to never be possible
again at this reduced cost.

Capital Project Fund for paving of North Spruce Street and authorizes the City Manager to enter
into a contract with the State of Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) and its contractor,
Quality Asphalt and Paving (QAP), to complete the project.
DOT and its contractor, QAP are in the process of replacing aging culvers and repaving a portion
of and the Kenai Spur Highway in the City. The final culvert replacement is scheduled for early
