J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: December 29, 1986 SUBJECT: DOT/PF 6-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM KENAI SPUR HIGHWAY FOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 1987 Attached is a copy of the title page and pages 1-8 of the DOT/PF 6-Year Capital Improvement Program (Draft Final) . I think I have already given the Council a copy of the whole book. If I have not or they have been misplaced, I would be happy to make some more copies. The ranking score which is used to set priorities is determined by DOT/PF based on a "Project Ranking Criteria" questionnaire that gives different points in answering specific questions about each project . This "Project Ranking Criteria" questionnaire is used State-wide but the Kenai Regional Transportation Study group, which I belong to, was successful in making some major changes in the questionnaire that will help our area. The Kenai Spur Widening project did receive a relatively high ranking score of 530, however, it did not get placed in the 6-year plan until 1991 under obligation and 1990 under alternative. The alternative projects are used if one or more of the obligation projects are not used, Murph O'Brien of DOT/PF has explained why the Kenai Spur Widening is further down the list than others with a lower ranking score. Besides the Spur having a high cost of $16 million the other projects were ahead on the Federal Aid Development Requirements. These requirements or procedures take a lot of time and include: 1. Reconnaissance, preliminary design, location phase: a. Preliminary design and location approval b. Environmental requirements - assessment or impact statement c. ROW? do Wet Lands? e. Public Hearings f. Soils, surveying, mapping, etc. 2. Secure the needed ROW a . Utility Relocation b. Other specific ROW problems 3. Bidding and Construction The Kenai Spur Widening project is just entering Phase I of the Federal Aid Development Requirements. Other projects such as the Sterling Highway are further along in the process. The funds are 95 o Federal and 5 o State. The Kenai Spur Widening project has $3009000 appropriated for Phase I with the State recommendin 9 another $150,000. Unfortunately, the 99th Congress failed to pass the Surface Transportation Act and Alaska is out $150,900,000 (see attached article). If it does eventually pass there may be some unpleasant changes. Accordingto Mur h ' p p O'Brien, Alaska has been receiving_ about 11 times what we have been putting into the fund and the other states do not like it . They are talking about including a requirement that no state receive more than 3 times what they put in. If this becomes Law, Alaska would only get $40 million instead of $150 million. A completely different project is under way called "Kenai-Soldotna Traffic Study." This project was undertaken by DOT/PF but I was on the selection committee that choose TRANSPO Group, Inc. as the consultants to perform the study. A public hearing was held on December 18, 1986 to discuss Technical Memorandum No. 5, Traffic Forecasts and Future and No. 61 Transportation Improvement Program - Alternatives and Recommendations. I have a rather thick document available in my office that is complete and if someone would like a copy I can make them one. Attached is a summary that was passed out at that meeting. If anyone would like any additional information I would be pleased to be of assistance. KK/sw aska Constructor 4the alaska chapter associated general contractors, inc.

The competition is open to any contrac- tor, designer, architect or developer who was involved in an Alaska building or heavy con- struction project that was completed in 1986. Forms may be obtained from your local AGC office, deadline for entries is February 2, 1987. 99TH CONGRESS FAILS TO PASS FEDERAL -AID HIGHWAY LEGISLATION The failure of the 99th Congress to pass a highway bill is depriving Alaska this year of approximately $150.9 million in federal -aid for much -needed road and bridge improvements. The funds, when received and spent by the state, could generate close to 9,160 jobs in construction and related industries and throughout the state's economy. Congress' inaction has left Alaska with only $42.1 million in carryover, unused federal -aid highway funds with which to operate in 1987. The ability of the state to use even these carryover funds will be hampered to the extent the funds are in program categories for which projects may not be ready to proceed; and the desire of the state to preserve its obligational authority for higher priority projects which could proceed once the new Congress passes highway legislation. If the 99th Congress had reauthorized the highway program, Alaska would now have approximately $193 million in federal -aid highway funds on hand. Instead, the state is being forced to conduct its highway improvement program on only 22 % of the federal funds it. should have on hand at this point. In the meantime, Alaska's highway users continue to pay, on the average, approximately $761,000 each week into the Highway Trust Funds. Now is a particularly inappropriate time for Con- gress to embargo federal -aid highway funds. Of Alaska's 818 bridges, over 112 or 14 % are either struc- turally deficient or functionally obsolete. Over 1,974 miles, or 37 % of the state's 5,303 miles of major roads and highways are in need of rehabilitation. Many of these roads need to be resurfaced. Some may have even deteriorated to the point they are now in need of complete reconstruction. Congress must not deprive Alaska (or any state) of the ability to attend to these pressing road and bridge needs. DO YOU USE THE RENTAL RATE BLUE BOOKS FOR EQUIPMENT RENTAL RATES? Recently the FHWA issued a memorandum to its offices indicating that equipment rental rates published in various rate guides "contain cost allowances which are ineligible for Federal reimbursement:' The Rental Rate Blue Books that are part of your local AGC office's "INFORMATION CENTER" have now received the required modification so they can be applied to Federal -aid projects.
