MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE:
July 30, 2019
SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3077-2019
The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of Ordinance 3077-2019 that will provide
funding for site specific design for the relocation of Well House #1 which was damaged by the
magnitude 7.0 earthquake which struck Southcentral Alaska on November 30, 2018.
The City insurance on the damaged facility will provide for total replacement cost at the existing
site or reconstruction on an alternate site of the City's choosing. The City will be responsible for
the incremental costs of moving to an alternate site vs reconstruction on the existing site. The
administration has determined that Well #1 should be decommissioned and the building relocated
to the Well #2, at Beaver Loop and Shotgun Drive, site.
The City's insurer, Alaska Public Entity Insurance, has contracted with Nelson Engineering to
provide design and bid ready documents for the building disassembly and reconstruction. Nelson
Engineering performed the original damage assessment at the site. The City will provide funding
for design of site specific sheets for reconstruction at the Well #2 site with the requested $10,000.
Once design is complete, cost estimates will be prepared and subsequent legislation will be
prepared authorizing completion of the project and providing supplemental funding for the City's
deductible and the incremental costs associated with reconstruction on an alternate site. Your
support for Ordinance 3077-2019 is respectfully requested.
