MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager 2,r-2.
FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director/Capital Projects Manager
DATE: September 13, 2017
SUBJECT: Ordinance Funding Water Main Replacement
This purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of an ordinance appropriating and
transferring funds for a water main replacement project.
A water main was installed crossing the Kenai Spur Highway at Beaver Loop Rd. in 1979. Since
then the Kenai water system has expanded significantly and would benefit from an increased
pipe diameter in this location. The Water & Sewer foreman, Brent Jacobs, suggested that we
consider replacing this section of water main during the Phase One of the Alaska Department of
Transportation's (DOT's) Kenai Spur Highway Rehabilitation project. This is an excellent
suggestion as the asphalt and subgrade within the roadway structural section will be removed
and replaced at the DOT's expense as opposed to the City's. I contacted the DOT's project
manager and we determined it would be possible to include our project in their bid package.
The reservoir #1 recoating is nearly complete. Notwithstanding this transfer I will have sufficient
funds including contingency to complete that project.
Thank you for your consideration.
