MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin
DATE: September 8, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3247-2021
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to appropriate funds from the Water
Sewer Special Revenue Fund and awarding Task 7s work to HDL Engineering Consultants LLC
to address an emerging issue with a water main along Mission Ave.
HDL Engineering continues to support the City under a term agreement enacted in May 2020.
Task 7 will address a water main, which we believe has been in place since 1964. With the
ongoing bluff erosion in the area, the main is now nearing the exposed edge of the bluff face.
This project will install several new water main valves which will allow the Water Department to
better control the distribution system in this area, and will reroute several properties water
services back to a more secure location on the water main, abandoning the piping which is most
at risk of eventually failing and falling off the bluff.
The Department is intending to address this now, to minimize future impact to residents in the
area. The project is not included within the current Capital Improvement Plan, however it has
been identified during the facility and infrastructure assessments that have been ongoing with
staff and the engineering team. This is a priority project for the department, completion of the
work is in the best interest of the City. Photo below shows the project area.
Council's support is respectfully requested.
