MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 23, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-12 Budget Transfer Within the Water and Sewer
Capital Project Fund
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to complete a budget transfer within
the Water & Sewer Capital Project Fund to provide sufficient funding to cover the estimated
construction project costs associated with the Mission Avenue Water Main Repairs Project.
Ordinance 3247-2021 established the original funding for the project based on the current
understanding of the proposed work to take place at that time. As the project was further
developed in coordination with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC),
additional requirements were identified impacting costs resulting in this request for additional
funding.
The additional requirements include items like the installation of carrier piping to provide safe
separation between water and sewer mains as well as the installation of fire hydrants to provide
a system flushing point at the new end of the water distribution system within the project area.
The project is 100% designed at this time and with approval of this budget transfer the project
will be immediately released for Construction Bids. This project is a high priority for the Public
Works Department due to the close proximity of this piping in relation to the bluff, as can be seen
in the photo below. This project abandons a section of water main currently within five feet of
the bluffs edge before it eventually erodes causing a line break which would cause a severe
erosion event within the area. The main will be relocated back to a safe location away from
potential erosion hazards.
Completion of this work will leave an unpressurized pipe in place, and when it eventually erodes
off the bluff it will not create a loss of water service to residents within the area. Based on the
urgency staff would like to get the project bid as soon as possible, with an anticipated
construction start as soon as the weather permits in the spring.
The budget transfer is removing $40,000 from the Manhole Restoration Project under Activity
Code 264 and moving funds into the Mission Avenue Project under Activity Code 296. The
Manhole Restoration Project can withstand this transfer. Completion of this budget transfer is
within the best interest of the City and Council's support is respectfully requested.
