Ordinance 3155-2020
The purpose of this memo is to request support for the Kenai Municipal Airport Sand Storage
Building. Staff, in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has been
developing the project. HDL Engineering completed design documents on August 7, 2020. The
project was formally released for Bids on August 10, 2020 with bids due on August 31, 2020 .
The project will be developed in two phases to allow the City the greatest opportunity to take
advantage of federal grants . Phase 1 is anticipated to take place this fall and will cover Site Civil
work. The grant will cover all of the FAAs normal share, and CARES Act funds are anticipated to
cover the City's normal share of 6.25%.
Phase 2 will begin early 2021, and will be awarded under a separate future Ordinance. It will be
funded by the Airport's annual entitlements and possibly d iscretionary funds through the FAA and
is anticipated for the City to short term finance the work until the grant can be issued likely in May
2021 . The structural steel and insulated wall and roof panels will need to be ordered in March
2021 to make sure they arrive in Alaska in time for the summer construction season.
Phase 2 will likely require the usual grant matching funds, with the FAA contributing 93 .75% and
the City share being 6.25% of construction costs however, if there are remaining CARES Act
funds, there would be no match requirement of the City. The funds to cover the start of Phase 2
shall be taken from the Airport Special Revenue Fund and will be reimbursed upon receipt of
grant.
This project is the number one priority for the Airport from the Capital Improvement Plan .
Completion of the facility will allow the airport to store all of their required sand for the runway
under roof in a conditioned space, which will allow their sanding operations to proceed more
efficiently, reducing wear and tear on equipment from breaking into frozen sand piles that would
otherwise be stored outdoors .
Council should anticipate an amendment memo being provided prior to the September 2, 2020
council meeting to fill in the blanks associated with the current Ordinance.
Council 's support of this Ordinance is respectfully requested .

Substitute Ordinance 3155-2020
The purpose of this memo is to update Council on the status of the Kenai Municipal Airport (KMA)
Sand Storage Facility Project. Staff has worked in close coordination with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), and the City has received and executed Grant ENA-ALG-3-02-0142-064-
2020 in the amount of $1,954, 101 for Construction of the facility.
Resolution 2020-79 approved at the September 16, 2020 Council Meeting, authorized the City
Manager to e xecute a grant upon receipt from the FAA. The Administration received the formal
grant offer on September 24, 2020 and returned the executed grant offer back to the FAA on
September 25, 2020.
To summarize the project to date, the City funded the design at $265,681 which is now
reimbursable under this grant. On August 31 , 2020 formal construction bids were received with
Orion Construction being the successful low bidder with a total bid of $2,289,000. HDL
Engineering on August 28, 2020 provided a proposal for construction administration services
totaling $190,332 which includes required third party special inspections.
On September 2 , 2020 a formal grant application was completed by the Administration and
submitted to the FAA requesting a total project cost of $2,835,263 which included additional costs
for City Admin, Permitting, and Utilities. Our counterparts at the FAA gathered remaining
available funding for their fiscal year end of September 30 and provided the City with a grant of
about $1 ,000,000 more than we were anticipating .
The balance of the cost difference between the total project costs and the grant just received is
anticipated to be funded by the FAA under a second grant in their new fiscal year, and will likely
be available sometime in May 2021. Administration is requesting through this ordinance to fund
the project with the Airport Special Revenue Fund until the second grant becomes available at
which time the fund will be reimbursed for a majority of the costs minus the normal City share as
detailed within the Ordinance .
With Council 's approval construction is ex pected to start in October 2020 and continue through
October 2021 . Council's support of this ordinance is respectfully requested.
