MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: December 13, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-82 — Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)
This Resolution provides for a contract award for the 2022 Community Wildfire Protection Plan
Mitigation Project, which seeks to address significant beetle kill trees within the Shqui Tsatnu
Creek drainage area. The project was well viewed, with five bids received. Doug Koch
Professional Tree Services, a local contractor, was the successful bidder at a total proposed cost
of $282,000.
The Maps attached to this memo highlight the areas to be addressed. The terrain varies with
some areas requiring hand felling due to lack of accessibility for larger equipment. The slash site
recently established adjacent to the soccer fields will be a staging area for the project.
Fire Chief Prior successfully applied for and received grant funding from the Department of
Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Fire Protection to sufficiently cover the costs
associated with this Work. This project will be a large step in mitigating approximately 105 acres
of City property.
Would also like to extend a thank you to Diane Campbell with the Alaska Division of Forestry and
Fire Protection who assisted in the development of the bid documents and in responding to Plan
Holder questions.
