MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: December 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-70 - Authorizing a Change Order with HDR
Engineering, Inc. for Preliminary Design of the Bluff Structure Access
Pathways
This memo requests Council's approval to proceed with a change order with HDR Engineering,
Inc. for preliminary design services for the bluff structure access pathways. HDR is the Designer
of Record for the Bluff Stabilization Project and is very familiar with the project and access needs
for the City of Kenai to maintain the structure in the future.
The cost for the design services is $63,742. This would produce a 30% plan set, 30% cost
estimate, memo of hydraulic and hydrology and a memo on the steps to complete the design and
construction. Design services will be paid for utilizing a State Grant for the bluff project. It is
anticipated that the City of Kenai will construct the access path after the bluff begins to vegetate
and cease major erosion.
Approval of this change order is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully
requested.
