MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin
DATE:
May 27, 2021
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2021-35 — Awarding a Professional Service Agreement for
the Kenai Bluff Stabilization Project.
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's support of Resolution 2021-35 to award a
Professional Engineering Services agreement to HDR Engineering for the Kenai Bluff
Stabilization Project. As council is well aware this project has been an ongoing concern for many
years. Last year a large milestone was reached with the execution of a design agreement on
September 14, 2020 with the Army Corps of Engineers. This agreement, formally referred to as
the PED agreement (Preliminary Engineering & Design) is intended to allow the City to move
forward with the overall design of the project and to provide the City with bid ready plans and
specifications.
It should be noted that the Army Corps of Engineers has not funded the Federal share of this work
as of the date of this memo. The City is intending on moving forward with fully funding the design
effort with funds we have already appropriated, and to either seek reimbursement of the Federal
share or to have our additional expenses applied to the City's share of the construction effort,
whichever path is the most preferable to the Army Corps of Engineers.
This work is anticipated to take place throughout 2021 with the final deliverable of plans and
specifications available June 2022.
In the opinion of the Administration this is a necessary step to keep this project moving. HDR
Engineering is experienced in working through Army Corps projects. Staff at the USACE Alaska
District are familiar and approving of HDR's team and proposal. Award of this agreement is in
the best interest of the City.
Council's support is respectfully requested.
