MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin
DATE:
February 10, 2021
SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3194-2021
As Council may recall, the November 2018 earthquake caused structural damages to the Well
House One Facility located at 7465 Kenai Spur Highway. The earthquake caused the concrete
foundation to subside 4-5" around the structure, causing extensive concrete damages.
This well house was a low producing well site, especially after improvements to the well Feld
located off of Shotgun Drive which produces the vast majority of water the City uses today. The
property is leased from the State, and after review during the Land Management Plan updates it
was determined this well site should be abandoned, and the low producing well capped.
In an effort to make use of some of the salvageable materials, the steel building remains in
relatively good condition and would make an excellent storage facility for parts and equipment
for the Water Division. It was determined the most appropriate location to move the structure to
was directly adjacent to the Staffs Office space at the Water Treatment facility, which resides
behind a fenced enclosure, off of Shotgun Drive.
Plans & Specifications for the relocation have already been completed by Nelson Engineering,
and the project is being conducted in coordination with the City's insurance carrier. Upon
Council's approval the project will be formally released for Construction Bids with the work
anticipated to take place this Spring and into the Summer. Insurance proceeds and City funds
will be required to complete the work, this Ordinance is appropriating both.
The photos below indicate the structure and the intended new location it will be rebuilt at
Council's support is respectfully requested.
7465 Kenai Spur Hwy — WH#1 420 Shotgun Drive — Water Treatment Plant
