DATE: November 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Response to request for information regarding paving improvements to N.
Willow St.
The purpose of this memo is to provide information in response to a request from the Airport
Commission. It is my understanding that the portion of the street in question is from the
intersection with Marathon Road to the intersection of westbound Airport Way I entrance road to
the terminal. If these project limits are incorrect, calculations below will need to be adjusted.
I used the 2015 Magic Ave . project as opposed to the more recent First St. project to determine
possible cost per square foot because I assumed a reconstructed N. Wi ll ow would not include
added curbs or sidewa lk or other improvements.
Magic Ave. 14,3 77 sf N. Willow 10 8 ,096 sf Marathon R oad 45,354 sf N. Willow 108,096 sf
B idder Pave $I sf Magic $/sf x 108,096 Pulverize $I sf Marathon $/sf x 108,096
Eng's Estimate $209,162 $ 14.55 $ 1,572 ,621.24 $ 50 ,000.00 $ 1.10 $ 119,169.20
Fosters Const. $184,994 $ 12.87 $ 1,390,909.89 $ 39,000.00 $ 0 .86 $ 92,951.98
Big Mikes $234,709 $ 16.33 $ 1, 764,697 .84 $26,000.00 $ 0.57 $ 61,967.99
AK RoadBuilder s $210,470 $ 14.64 $ 1,582,455.67 $20,000.00 $ 0.44 $ 47,667 .68
Peninsula Const. $231 ,986 $ 16.14 $ 1 ,744,227.49 No Bid
Average $214,264 $ 14.90 $ 1 ,610 ,982.42 $ 33,750.00 $ 0.74 $ 80,439.21
The portion of N. Willow from the Terminal to the Tower was paved in 1985 and is in poor
condition . The Alaska Department of Transportation (ADOT) paved the portion from the Tower
to Marathon Road in 2011 as an addition to the project paving Baron Park Lane and HEA
Access Road . I confirmed my suspicion through conversations with the engineer and contractor
who performed the work that unsuitable soils were not removed from the road prism prior to
paving N. Willow. This strongly contributes to the accelerated failure of road due to significant
heaving every spring, especially the portion nearest to Marathon. To reconstruct the road
properly will require significant excavation and fill. The Magic project did include excavation and
fill, however without proper test hole boring logs , and at least a partial design, the final cost to
Page 2 of 2
construct is difficult to determine with any certainty. The cost to properly construct a paved road
could be higher than the figures in the table above .
Another option would be to pulverize the existing pavement in place , grade and compact it. The
final product would be similar to the new South Beach Access Road. The City would be able to
grade it as needed. The cost of this option will vary on a number of factors . The $20,000 low
bid from AK Roadbuilders to perform similar work on Marathon was in large part because they
already had the equipment and work force in Kenai for another job. Unless that were the case
at the time of bidding N. Willow, I would expect the cost to be closer to the average extrapolated
amount of $80,439 than that of the low bidder.
These figures do not account for inflation .
