MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: April 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-14
This Resolution will award professional architectural and engineering services to develop bid
ready construction documents for the Water Treatment Plant Pumphouse project. This project will
provide a new structure and water distribution pumps and associated controls, and will function
as the primary water distribution system for the City.
This project was partially designed during the water filtration plant project roughly twelve years
ago, and did not move forward at that time due to funding limitations. This project now will replace
aging equipment and address system limitations experienced during power outages.
The Public Works Department was successful in applying for and receiving funds through the
State of Alaska's DEC with a 100% forgivable loan through the Alaska Drinking Water Fund in
the amount of $1,200,000 which will cover all of the design costs and a majority of the construction
costs associated with the project.
Design work will continue into the summer, with a construction bid release anticipated for late
summer early fall. Construction may not start until spring 2025 depending on the availability of
construction materials, primarily the steel building components.
Council's approval is respectfully requested.
