Thank you for your attention in this matter. attachment 1992 CITY OF KENAI CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP) PRIORITES FOR STATE & FEDERAL FUNDING REQUESTS FOR FY 2010 PRIORITY NUMBER PROJECT TITLE DESCRIPTION FUNDING REQUESTED NOTES /COMMENTS 1 Kenai River Bluff Erosion /Stabilization Approximately one -mile of the bluff along the Kenai River is exhibiting substantial erosion. Several hundred feet of the original townsite have been lost over the last century. The U.S. Corp of Engineers estimates the rate of erosion to be 3 feet per year. Over the next 50 years, in excess of $ 50 million (in 2006 dollars) of property and improvements will be lost, without the construction of stabilization improvements. The total cost estimate for the project is $ 20 million. Approximately $ 1.5 million has been spent to date on preliminary engineering & studies. Kenai voters approved a $ 2 million bond sale at the October 2007 election. $ 18,000,000.00 The bluff erosion project has been the City of Kenai 's number one Federal and State funding priority for at least the previous thrree years. Administration is requesting funding from the Governor and area Legislators. To date, funding of approximately $ 1.5 million has been appropriated by Alaska's congressional delegation, but the outlook for additional federal funding is not good. The citizens of Kenai approved a G.O. bond proposition in the amount of $ 2,000,000 in 2007. Given the State of Alaska's present financial condition the opportunity to recieve funding is as good as it has been in some years. 2 New Water Transmission Mains, New Well House, New Well(s) & Replacemnt of AC Transmission Main. ADEC Municipal matching Grant Project Project would construct approximately 10,500 If of new 16" transmission main, replace approximately 3,200 It of aging asbestos cement trasnmission main, decommission municipal production wells # 1 & # 3 which have high arsenic levels, construct a new well in the vicinity of well # 2 a new wellhouse, controls, stand -by power generation, and other related improvements. This with other previouskly recieved grants and project funding will provide higher quality water and increased volumes to meet present and future system demands. $ 2,070,000.00 We have applied to ADEC for this project and it appears we have scored high enough for t to be a SFY 10 grant funded State project under the municipal matching grant program. We also have received a grant from the USEPA in the amount of $ 288,000 that can be used as a portion of the match for this project. The grant program requires a 30% match from the city. By using the EPA funding as a part of that match the City will need to provide $ 599,142. 3 Kenai Community Library Expansion Project would expand the existing Kenai Community Library by approximately 10,000 s.f., or roughly double the size of the existing facility. Voters in Kenai approved a bond sale in the amount of $ 2 million, for a project presently estimated at $ 5.3 million $ 1,000,000.00 To date the project has received or has commitments for funding in the amount of $ 3,920,000. This includes $ 2,000,000 for G.O. Bonds, $ 1,500,000 from the Rasmuson Foundation, & $ 170,000 from the Friends of the Kenai Community Library. Additional fundraising efforts are ongoing. 4 Paving & Improvements to City Streets The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel surfaced roadways within it's municipal boundaries. The cost of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel roadways is a health issue for the elderly & young. The $ 1 million requested will be used as a 50% match to support local improvement districts $ 1,000,000.00 Administration recommends that a project of this type be perpetually included in capital project requests to the Borough and State. Page 1 of 4 Prepared by: R. Koch CITY Or KENAI CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP) PRIORITES FOR STATE & FEDERAL FUNDING REQUESTS FOR FY 2010 PRIORITY NUMBER PROJECT TITLE DESCRIPTION FUNDING REQUESTED NOTES /COMMENTS 5 Visitor Center Heating System Replacement The in -floor heating system is failing. The sytem loses approximately 20 gallons of water per day. To replace the system a 2" layer of lightweight concrete floor would be poured including new heat tubing. This is an extensive project requiring demolition and replacement of existing flooring, and adjustment to doors, trim, and piping systems $ 250,000.00 The City has received $ 71,000 as a partial settlement for the defective heat tubing used during initial construction. Additional settlement funds may be available. 6 New Fire Engine This new fire engine would replace an existing 26 year old fire engine. Our 1982 fire engine is the oldest equipment presently in use at the Fire Department, and was one of the last years in which "open jump seat" fire engines were allowed by code. The old engine has reached the end of it's useful life and should be replaced. $ 500,000.00 7 Capital Improvements to Support State Personal Use Fishery This project would purchase Low Ground Pressure (LPG) vehicles (2), portable solid waste receptacles (12), portable fish waste receptacles (8) to facilitate the removal of what has become large volurnes of trash and fish waste left on the beach. In addition this project would purchase and install the following: $ 400,000.00 8 Bridge Access Road, Pedestrian Pathway This project would construct a pedestrian pathway from the Kenai Spur Highway to Kalifornsky Beach Road along Bridge Access Road. This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians, sight seer's, bicyclists, etc. This project is approximately 2 miles long and would complete the 24 mile Unity Trail that connects Kenai and Soldotna, along both the Spur Highway $ 2,000,000.00 9 Kenai Soccer Park Restroom & Concession Facility Project would provide for restrooms and concession facility at new soccer fields. State Soccer Cup scheduled for 2009 $ 150,000.00 Administration encourages soccer association to seek grant funding. 10 New Soccer Fields Irrigation Project would design and install irrigation system for four soccer fields $ 250,000.00 11 Energy Efficient Street Lighting Throughout the city there are intersections and other areas such as school bus stops that do not have overhead street lights. The city installs a number of lights each year. However, there are always more needs than available funding . $ 100,000.00 Administration recommends that a project of this type be perpetually included in capital project requests to the Borough and State. 12 Public Works Shop Building Project would construct a new PW shop building approximately 10,000 sf in size $ 4,000,000.00 Page 2 of 4 Prepared by: R. Koch CITY OF KENAI CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (CIP) PRIORITES FOR STATE & FEDERAL FUNDING REQUESTS FOR FY 2010 PRIORITY NUMBER PROJECT TITLE DESCRIPTION FUNDING REQUESTED NOTES /COMMENTS 13 Re -Model of Public safety Emergency Communications Center This project would re- configure the dispatch area including air filtration systems, electrical systems, and underfloor wiring trays. Additionally some new work stations and furniture would be purchased. $ 75,000.00 14 Silver Salmon Drive Paving (Pillars Boat Launch Access Road) Project would repair area of large frost heave, and construct a paved roadway from the end of the existing pavement to the ADNR parking lot/boat launch at the end of the road at the Kenai River. Cost estimate is based on City administration of project. $ 500,000.00 The existing roadway is gravel and poorly maintained. Maintenance is performed by ADNR (1 believe on a contract basis). The City recieves numerous complaints each year from users of the road and from property owners in the area as they believe it is a City responsibility. If the State agrees to repair and upgrade the road to an asphalt standard the City should consider assuming maintenence responsibilities. 15 Kenai Municipal Boat Launch, Peplacement of Damaged Concrete Planks This project would design and install replacement concrete planks on the boat launch ramp. The two older boat launch ramps have planks at the lower elevation that have been damaged by winter ice and by equipment during the annual removal of silt. $ 100,000.00 16 Maintenance Shop Site Remediation ADEC Spill # 1994230110102 The city maintenance shop area has been identified by ADEC as a contaminated site. Barrels of petroleum products and oils were disposed of on this site and measurable levels of pollutants have been identified in an adjacent waterbody. This project would remove contaminated soils, buried containers and barrels. A subsequent phase of this project would remediate the contaminated soils, dispose of containers /barrels, and install monitoring wells. $ 250,000.00 17 City Hall HVAC Improvements The current system does not provide uniform heat in the winter and does not include air conditioning (cooling) in the summer. The present system also does not provide an adequate number of air changes to meet current code requirements. The copy room which contains the computer servers is consistently at a significantly elevated temperature. $ 150,000.00 18 Expansion of Animal Control Shelter This project would design and construct an addition to the Animal Control Shelter. The specific scope of work would roughly double the existing kennel block. $ 450,000.00 19 City of Kenai Campground for TentNehicle Project would construct a tent/vehicle campground located at the Kenai Sports Complex( ?) located at Section 36 $ 200,000.00 Page 3 of 4 Prepared by: R.

City Hall HVAC Improvements $150,000.00 The current system does not provide uniform heat in the winter and does not include air conditioning (cooling) in the summer. The present system also does not provide an adequate number of air changes to meet current code requirements. The copy room which contains the computer servers is consistently at a significantly elevated temperature. Wildwood Drive Pavement Replacement $750,000.00 Wildwood Drive is exhibiting complete failure of the roadway paving, The roadway was paved by the Air Force to support its military installation. Subsurface excavation and backfill is required to construct a structural road base. The Department of Corrections at the Wildwood Correctional Facility is the primary user of Wildwood Drive. This project will re- construct Wildwood Drive. Paving & Improvements to City $1,000,000.00 The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel- surfaced Streets roadways within its municipal boundaries. The cost of maintenance of gravel roadways is high; dust from gravel roadways is a health issue for the elderly & young. The $1 million requested will be used as a 50% match to support local irnprovement districts Streetlights $100,000.00 Throughout the city there are intersections and other areas such as school bus stops that do not have overhead streetlights. The city installs a number of lights each year. However, there are always more needs than available funding. 2010 Capital Improvement Plan — Public Works Department Page 2 DRAF2 Project Name Estimated Amount Description Energy Conservation Measures for City Buildings $100,000.00 Efficiencies and resulting savings could be achieved in City buildings and streetlights by making them more "green." Funding would convert present heating and lighting systems to more efficient alternatives. Kalifornsky Beach Road, Pedestrian Pathway $800,000.00 This project would construct a separated pedestrian pathway from Bridge Access Road to Cannery Road, a distance of approximately two miles. There is significant pedestrian and bicycle traffic along this highway. Bridge Access Road, pedestrian Pathway $2,000,000.00 This project would construct a pedestrian pathway from the Kenai Spur Highway to Kalifornsky Beach Road along Bridge Access Road. This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians, sightseers, bicyclists, etc. This project is approximately two miles long and would complete the 24 -mile Unity Trail that connects Kenai and Soldotna along the Spur Highway and Kalifornsky Beach Road. Silver Salmon Drive paving (Pillars Boat Launch Access Road) $500,000.00 Project would repair area of frost heaves and construct a paved roadway from the end of the existing pavement to ADNR parking lot! boat launch at the end of the road at the Kenai River. Public Works Shop Building $4,000,000.00 The Public Works Shop was constructed in the 1960 and building additions and conexes have been added over time. This project would construct a new PW shop building approximately 24,967 SF in size. Kenai Recreation Center Built -n Counters & Central Staff Area $25,000.00 Project would construct new counters, desks & storage drawers in central office area. Kenai Cultural Center Kitchen Remodel $30,000.00 Replacement of dated appliances and remodeling counters and food handling areas. This will facilitate food preparation for events at the Cultural Center. Also, remodel would eliminate exterior unused closet that takes away from needed indoor floor space. Kenai Multi- Purpose Facility Ventilation Improvements $35,000.00 The ice rink is experiencing substantial amounts of condensation and the resulting problems associated with "raining" onto the ice surface. The building is almost completely enclosed and moisture from the ice resurfacing does not have adequate ventilation to escape from the building. This results in uneven and rough ice surfaces that require significant additional maintenance efforts to remove. This project would install one or more ventilate fans to mechanically ventilate the building. 2010 Capital Improvement Plan — Public orks Depari:men Page 3 DRAFT Project Name Estimated Annount Description Kenai Animal Shelter Expansion $300,000.00 The Shelter services the Greater Kenai area. The number of animals handled by the center has increased dramatically and is straining the capacity (animal adoptions up 52 %, euthanizations down 25 %, investigations up 22 %, annual rabies clinic participation up 43 %, and revenue up 75 %. This project would extend 52' from existing shelter (mechanical and storage space in between) and would expand the shelter by approximately 2,000 SF. Kenai Boat Launch Parking Area Paving & Improvements $100,000.00 The parking lot at the boat launch area is presently unpaved. This requires significant maintenance throughout the year to grade and remove potholes. The area has been prepared for paving by previous projects. This project would also construct overhead signage with changeable information directing boat launch users if ramps were "launch" or "take- out? These designations could be changed depending on traffic flow to, or from the river. This would enhance the efficiency of the boat launch ramp during peak periods of use (State personal use fishery). Conflicting traffic patterns (through traffic vs. business /residential traffic) and increased traffic counts have increased the number and severity of accidents between Kenai and Soldotna. Planned commercial developments will significantly increase traffic in the near future. Kenai Spur Highway — Upgrade to Five Lane Configuration Between Kenai and Soldotna $30,000,000.00 Kenai Recreation Center HVAC Improvements $35,000.00 Project would improve ventilation system to handball courts. Courts are used for handball, racquetball and wallyball. First Street Reconstruction from Florida Avenue to California Avenue $360,000.00 Reconstruct approximately 1,300 lineal feet of existing improved roadway. Project would include demolition and replacement of existing curb and gutter and paving. The streets and gutters are beyond repair.

Kenai Spur Highway — Streetlights, Main Street to Forrest Drive $100,000.00 ADOT /PF Maintenance has requested our assistance in seeking funding from the legislature to ADOT /PF to install new wiring and lights in this area. Kenai Recreation Center Fire Alarm System $50,000.00 Project would replace an often - malfunctioning fire alarm system. Existing system is original from facilittconstruction. 2010 Capital Improvement Plan — Public Works Depaitment Page 4 DRAFT Project Name Estimated Amount Description Senior Center — Office Space $50,000.00 There is a need to re -model and construct new office space at the Senior Center. Both Senior Center employees share an office making confidential conversations with seniors difficult and at times impossible. A small conference room is needed for discussions with staff & seniors. Chip Seal & Seal Coat Existing Paved Roads $550,000.00 This project would chip and seal coat existing paved streets in Old Town, Central Heights Subdiv., Inlet View Subdiv., Redoubt Subdiv., Woodland Subdiv. The last time the City seal coated these streets was 1988. It needs to be done again to extend the life of the pavement. Highland Subdivision Pavement Replacement $250,000.00 This project will repave Silver Salmon Drive & Kind Salmon Dr. in Highland Subdiv. This pavement is beyond repair and must be replaced. Surface Drainage Improvements 5375,000.00 $200,000.00 This project is to replace infiltration basins with underground storm drains and /or improve the infiltration basin, if possible. Specific areas include Lake St., Windward Dr., Equinox Way, Inlet Woods Dr., Channel Way, Woodside Avenues, Toyon Way, Pine Ave. and others. Project would make the entrance to the Senior Center safer for elders during winter months. This project would construct a combination heated /unheated City storage facility. Each City department would have a heated, special area for storage and another outside covered area for storage of vehicles, small equipment and miscellaneous items. Development of approximately 55 acres of raw property for a sports complex to include: 4 baseball fields, 3 softball fields, 1 storage facility, 1 concession facility, 2 restrooms, irrigation, play area and campground. If space is available, a shared artificial cocker /football field could be developed as well. City needs to have redundant equipment for critical systems at the WWTP. Additional equipment spares would greatly improve system reliability & security for a vital public health function. Project would also include plant expansion to accommodate lost lab and equipment repair space when installing the second belt filter press. Funds would also be applied to expensive but needed system maintenance to the Digester and Belt Press and other Plant improvements.

New construction would be a duplicate of existing kennel block, extending 52ft out from the existing building, with storage and mechanical rooms between. Existing perimeter fence would be moved and extended to accommodate new construction. Project Justification: Animal care and welfare has been an integral part of the City of Kenai policy since early 1980. Over the years, the Kenai Animal Shelter has become a model for animal care and welfare with innovative programs to aid adoptions that many other shelters in Alaska try to emulate. At this time, the Kenai Animal Shelter is able to house 19 dogs and 21 cats. Housing for small caged animals such as mice, rats, ferrets, rabbits, and birds has to be placed on any available table top, very often out of public view. The Animal Shelter has seen a significant increase in intake numbers over the last three years, with adoptions up 52 %, euthanizations down 25 %, investigations up 22 %, the annual Rabies clinic participation up 43 %, and revenue up 75 %. Existing dog kennels often have to be used to house two dogs at a time, and many times six or more puppies have to be housed together. This creates hazards for the staff as well as the dogs. Multiple dogs in one kennel have little or no space to defecate without standing in it and getting it all over each other. The kennel has to be sanitized numerous times throughout the day, and the dogs have to be bathed multiple times while available for adoption. The outside drop kennels have been closed down due to lack of kennel space. The success of outreach programs such as public education, weekly radio broadcasts, and an Internet website for adoptable animals has dramatically increased public awareness of animals in need in our area. This has also increased the amount of owners who relinquish their animals to the shelter knowing the animal will be well cared for and have a very good chance of a new home. Foot traffic has significantly increased due to consistent and longer open hours. Estimated Cost: $300,000 * (Estimate prepared by Biazy Construction August 2008) Anticipated Operating Implications: During construction phase, existing kennel would not be compromised and daily activity would continue as normal. More security checks by KPD may be required at night while fencing is being replaced. Potential Project Funding: City funds. I am looking for other available grant funding. Desired Project Timing: As soon as possible. 4 Vfholt Foo bport 52t18,1972 q Nettled Intechta 18¢345Er44 tg 44/44444¢V close. stonoos tot 1.4¢¢tet hatthoow tow otig¢to1 Lowtowt catered wait to ¢ otd holt 9%;0 A Y�F Kenai Police Department Project Name: 911 PSAP and Dispatch Center Redesign Department: Communications Department Head: Chief Gus Sandahl rs Prepared By: Michael Nusbaum Project Description: Redesign of emergency communication center. Remove existing equipment and furniture. Rewire room to provide for more electrical outlets, replace flooring system, drop ceiling, paint room and provide for adequate HVAC and air filtration. Introduce modern furniture and equipment to comply with recommended national guidelines. Project Justification: The Kenai Police Department's Communication Center is the heart of the Police Department. Currently the Center houses network servers and various computers and is the location where all radio traffic, walk -in customers, 911 calls and administrative calls are received. The amount of equipment stored in the Center has grown exponentially over the years. All electrical outlets in the room are overloaded with a lack of current overprotection on some outlets (NENA -04 -001 Generic Standards for E9 -1 -1 PSAP Equipment and NENA -04 -502 PSAP CPE Site Characteristics address these issues). The Center lacks an effective air filtration system and has experienced computer outages due to excessive dust buildup inside computer equipment. It is unknown if the current HVAC system meets the national recommended standards referenced in the previous NENA documents. The Center also is in need of a more effective furniture design that utilizes all available space and conforms to more ergonomic standards. A dedicated system for running wiring needs to be installed as wires of all types are exposed under work surfaces and vulnerable to interference and accidental interruption. The Center is operating in a room which was originally designed as a standard work office but should be modernized to house a vital Public Safety Answering Point. Estimated Cost: $40,000+ (Estimate for furniture prepared with the assistance of W right Line in April, 2008). Anticipated Operating Implications: During work phase, operations would need to be relocated to another location within the Kenai Police Department. This would necessitate assistance from ProComm Alaska for radio equipment, ACS for telephone equipment, computer consultants for computer networking and The Kenai Peninsula Borough MIS Department for 911 systems. Potential Project Funding: City funds. I have been unable to locate a grant which covers equipment /furniture in our area. Further investigation may yield grant funding though.

Flat Panel Arms CPU Storage Fire Department INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM KENAI FIRE DEPAR TMENT Date: August 28, 2008 To: Rick Koch From: Chief Tilly Subject: Recommendation for CIP Rick, Attached is a written justification for the replacement of Engine 2. I would like to have you consider this for placement on the CIP list for the City. If there are any questions or further explanation please do not hesitate to call. Justification for replacement of Kenai Fire Department 1982 Spartan Pumper The purpose of this correspondence is to inform the reader of the need for replacement of the oldest fire truck in our fleet. Engine 2 was purchased in 1982 and may be the last "open jump seat" apparatus still on the road in the state. Because of the inherent danger of the open jump seat configuration and the lack of safety to the occupants, apparatus manufacturers will not produce them and have not for many years. As recently as 2002, we have had a close call with this apparatus that placed 3 employees in unnecessary danger. While responding to a reported structure fire in Engine 2 on slick winter roads, approaching traffic reacted in an unsuspecting manner with one vehicle pulling out of his lane of traffic and into the apparatus's direction of travel. The Engineer attempted to slow the vehicle but with a slow reacting, conventional braking system, the vehicle was sent into a skid and left the highway. The driver did well to maintain a straight path so as not to roll the vehicle which would have undoubtedly killed the crew members. Still attempting to slow the vehicle, the apparatus driver hit a driveway and literally jumped the vehicle. As this was all happening the FF in the rear facing jump seat was being thrown around and almost pitched from the open cab seat which would have ensured him serious if not fatal injuries. The Captain, because of the poorly designed cab and lack of adequate restraint systems, jammed his head into the ceiling when the vehicle "jumped" the driveway, resulting in a neck injury. The accident destroyed the water tank and the compounding forces of 2000 gallons of water from being pounded, lead to damage of equipment in compartments and weeks of being out of service. OPEN CAB I feel that continued use of this apparatus continues to place unnecessary risk and danger to responders. NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus states "each crew riding position shall be within a fully enclosed personnel area." (This was added to NFPA 1901 in 1991.) This allows for not only structural stability, but safety in case of a roll over. A firefighter having to ride outside in -10 to -20 degree weather while responding to calls experiences a -61 degree wind chill factor. This is what they have to deal with just getting to the emergency. This vehicle was built and designed in 1982 when lap belt restraints were the norm in this application. Presently, NFPA also has addressed this by mandating that each crew riding position shall be provided an approved seat belt design. Communications between the Captain and his crew is almost impossible with the open cab design as well. Information concerning the response and initial reports given to the Captain while in route must be relayed to the crew. Presently, yelling through and open window over the wind and engine noise creates a very inefficient means of communicating. Ultimately poor information or misinformation could again place firefighters in unnecessary danger. A present standard for cab design describes a headset communication system between the front of the cab and the responders in the rear. This addressed the assurance of good communications and the heating protection for the occupants. BRAKES Currently, all apparatus built under NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, comes with all wheel anti -lock brakes. This safety feature has shown its importance is present on all passenger vehicles. A NHTSA study, was released in 2000, stated ABS "appears to be beneficial in preventing pedestrian crashes, rollovers, run - off -road crashes and frontal crashes with another moving vehicle." Most important in winter driving, antilock brakes ensure controlled braking and vehicle control. In hind site this braking option very well may have prevented the off road excursion in 2002. Another inherent problem with older braking systems is their tendency to "fade ". Large vehicles that haul large amount of weight tax their braking system routinely. With the expectations of a fire engine to make a quick response, under multiple heavy braking while responding to a call, Engine 2 experiences serious brake fade creating a situation where the brakes will almost fail completely. New mandates from NFPA 1901 state that engines will have an engine braking system installed. An engine braking system help extend the brake life of a vehicle and ultimately the braking performance of heavily laden vehicles. VEHICLE CONFIGURATION Changes and advancements in firefighting tools, tactics and operations have led to outfitting apparatus with new and different appliances. This particular vehicle was designed when 2.5" hose was the norm. The hose beds were designed to store and deploy 2.5" hose. Advancements in design have led to the industry changing to 5" or 6" supply hose. At present we utilize 5" but placing this hose on a tuck not designed to do so had lead to hose being "self deployed" while driving across town which is not only dangerous to firefighters, but the driving public. WILDAND URBAN INTERFACE As identified in the 2006 Hazardous Fuel Mitigation planning for the City of Kenai, our department does not have a CAFS or Compressed Air Foam fire fighting system on any of our vehicles. These systems are becoming common place on vehicles and invaluable when dealing with the wildland urban interface issues that out town has. These systems are especially helpful when manning issues are considered. CAFS systems are also extremely effective on residential or commercial fires. SCENE LIGHTING For what ever reason, this vehicle was never designed with an electrical generation system in place. On scene lighting is very important to scene safety. Everything from basic trip and fall hazards to identifying real world hazards like exposed and live electrical wires can be avoided with decent scene lighting. This apparatus also does not have the compartment space to accommodate a gasoline generator. Integration of a hydraulic generation system or power converter would accommodate this on a new apparatus. REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE The City has a replacement schedule for all large vehicles and each department pays into this replacement fund for the purchasing of new vehicles on certain time intervals. Engine 2, for some reason, has continued to have that time pushed back. It is my belief that the original time for replacement was 2002 which would have made this vehicle 20 years old at the time of replacement. This replacement date was adjusted some time ago to 2009. At 27 years old this also seems like a logical time for replacement. Again this time has been altered with a present date of 2014 making for a 32 year old first line vehicle for emergency response. In the United States, an antique car is generally defined as a car over 25 years of age, this being the definition used by the Antique Automobile Club of America CONCLUSION NFPA states that "Apparatus that were not manufactured to the applicable NFPA fire apparatus standards or that are over 25 years old should be replaced." Engine 2 is presently 27 years old and is in need of replacement for the reason stated above. The reasoning for extending the replacement date to 2014 is questionable. Also stated in NFPA 1901, "To maximize fire fighter capabilities and minimize risk of injuries, it is important that fire apparatus be equipped with the latest safety features and operating capabilities. In the last 10 to 15 years, much progress has been made in upgrading functional capabilities and improving the safety features of fire apparatus."

NORTON CORROSION LIMITED August 18, 2008 via e -mail: wogle @,ci.kenai.ak.us Wayne Ogle City of Kenai Public Works Director Kenai, Alaska 8820 222' Street SE, Woodinville, WA 98072 Phone (425) 483 -1616 • Fax (425) 485 -1754 e -mail: jweiser @nortoncorrosion.com Subject: BUDGETARY COST ESTIMATE NEW CATHODIC PROTECTION (CP) SYSTEM FOR CITY DOCK Dear Wayne: In our 2007 Annual Inspection report of other City facilities, Norton Corrosion Limited (NCL) recommended an inspection of the city dock to allow us to see the dock again, size an appropriate CP system, and provide a budgetary cost, with our design to follow at a later time for installation in 2009. We delivered a brief conceptual design with budgetary costs in our August 8, 2008 letter to you. The City subsequently requested further details. NCL answers that request below, asking you to realize the City did not authorize a complete CP design nor has one been prepared by NCL. We base the details that follow upon installations typical to that which we propose for the City of Kenai. "Breaking -out" our costs as indicated below also allowed us to more specifically evaluate and adjust the labor effort required, and add a cost for NCL's CP design not previously included. This represents a change in the total cost from our August 8 letter. DESIGN CONCEPTS Two key reasons shape our Cathodic Protection design concepts and recommendations for this structure: 1) Mud surrounding the dock limits the practical installation of a galvanic CP system. 2) Tidal conditions will also limit the effectiveness of the CP system. NCL proposes an impressed current style CP system requiring continuous AC power to the rectifier unit and the electrical bonding of all dock support piles. The rectifier will convert AC power to DC power, and drive anodes placed in three 80' anode deepwells. With this "positive" circuit installed; the "negative" circuit is complete when all piles are electrically connected. Each deepwell will have an anode junction box current output of each anode within the well. A to a main anode junction box. The three anode where a single anode header cable will route to mounted on top of the deepwell to measure the separate lead cable from each well will connect deepwell leads will meet at a common bus bar and terminate at the AC- powered rectifier. Pin NORTON CORROSION LIMITED CITY OF KENAI Crry DOCK AUGUST 18, 2008 PAGE 2 brazing of bond cables at each support pile will provide necessary electrical bonding, connecting all piles electrically. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK NCL proposes to provide the City of Kenai with a CP system design, CP specialty materials, drilling and backhoe services, and on- site "wonting- supervision" with labor to support the installation of three 80' anode deepwells and the bonding of dock piles. We will assist the driller to load the deepwells, and complete all DC connections. We will commission and perform Post - installation Acceptance Testing, and then present O &M's with our final report. Costs are provided for each major "section" of the work we propose. A "breakout" of each Corrosion Engineering and Installation "subsection" is also provided.

Several hundred feet of the original townsite have been lost over the last century. The U.S. Corp of Engineers estimates the rate of erosion to be 3 feet per year. Over the next 50 years, in excess of $ 50 million (in 2006 dollars) of property and improvements will be lost, without the construction of stabilization improvements. The total cost estimate for the project is $ 20 million. Approximately $ 1.5 million has been spent to date on preliminary engineering & studies. Kenai voters approved a $ 2 million bond sale at the October 2007 election. $ 18,000,000.00 The bluff erosion project has been the City of Kenai s number one Federal and State funding priority for at least the previous thrree years. Administration is requesting funding from the Governor and area Legislators. To date, funding of approximately $ 1.5 million has been appropriated by Alaska's congressional delegation, but the outlook for additional federal funding is not good. The citizens of Kenai approved a G.O. bond proposition in the amount of $ 2,000,000 in 2007. Given the State of Alaska's present financial condition the opportunity to recieve funding is as good as it has been in some years. 2 New Water Transmission Mains, New Well House, New Well(s) & Replacemnt of AC Transmission Main. ADEC Municipal matching Grant Project Project would construct approximately 10,500 If of new 16" transmission main, replace approximately 3,200 If of aging asbestos cement trannmission main, decommission municipal production wells # 1 & # 3 which have high arsenic levels, construct a new well in the vicinity of well # 2 a new wellhouse, controls, stand -by power generation, and other related improvements. This with other previouskly recieved grants and project funding will provide higher quality water and increased volumes to meet present and future system demands. $ 2,070,000.00 We have applied to ADEC for this project and it appears we have scored high enough for t to be a SFY 10 grant funded State project under the municipal matching grant program. We also have received a grant from the USEPA in the amount of $ 288,000 that can be used as a portion of the match for this project. The grant program requires a 30% match from the city. By using the EPA funding as a part of that match the City will need to provide $ 599,142. 3 Kenai Community Library Expansion Project would expand the existing Kenai Community Library by approximately 10,000 s.f., or roughly double the size of the existing facility. Voters in Kenai approved a bond sale in the amount of $ 2 million, for a project presently estimated at $ 5.3 million $ 1,000,000.00 To date the project has received or has commitments for funding in the amount of $ 3,920,000. This includes $ 2,000,000 for G.O. Bonds, $ 1,500,000 from the Rasmuson Foundation, & $ 170,000 from the Friends of the Kenai Community Library. Additional fundraising efforts are ongoing. 4 Paving & Improvements to City Streets The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel surfaced roadways within it's municipal boundaries. The cost of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel roadways is a health issue for the elderly & young. The $ 1 rnillion requested will be used as a 50% match to support local improvement districts $ 1,000,000.00 Administration recommends that a project of this type be perpetually included in capital project requests to the Borough and State.

The sytem loses approximately 20 gallons of water per day. To replace the system a 2" layer of lightweight concrete floor would be poured including new heat tubing. This is an extensive project requiring demolition and replacement of existing flooring, and adjustment to doors, trim, and piping systems $ 250,000.00 The City has received $ 71,000 as a partial settlement for the defective heat tubing used during initial construction. Additional settlement funds may be available. 6 New Fire Engine This new fire engine would replace an existing 26 year old fire engine. Our 1982 fire engine is the oldest equipment presently in use at the Fire Department, and was one of the last years in which "open jump seat" fire engines were allowed by code. The old engine has reached the end of it's useful life and should be replaced. $ 500,000.00 7 Capital Improvements to Support State Personal Use Fishery This project would purchase Low Ground Pressure (LPG) vehicles (2), portable solid waste receptacles (12), portable fish waste receptacles (8) to facilitate the removal of what has become large volumes of trash and fish waste left on the beach. In addition this project would purchase and install the following: 1. Both permanent fencing and reusable temporary fencing to protect the Kenai River dunes from pedestrian and vehicular traffic during the fishery. 2.Permanent and re- usable temporary signage. 3. Trash /Fish Waste Transfer Stations (2). 4. Upgrades to the Municipal Boat Launch Ramp to more efficiently accomodate large volumes of boating traffic during the fishery. $ 400,000.00 8 Bridge Access Road, Pedestrian Pathway This project would construct a pedestrian pathway from the Kenai Spur Highway to Kalifornsky Beach Road along Bridge Access Road. This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians, sight seer's, bicyclists, etc. This project is approximately 2 miles long and would complete the 24 mile Unity Trail that connects Kenai and Soldotna, along both the Spur Highway and Kalifornsky Beach Road. $ 2,000,000.00 9 Kenai Soccer Park Restroom & Concession Facility Project would provide for restrooms and concession facility at new soccer fields. State Soccer Cup scheduled for 2009 $ 150,000.00 Administration encourages soccer association to seek grant funding. 10 New Soccer Fields Irrigation Project would design and install irrigation system for four soccer fields $ 250,000.00 Page 2 of 4 Prepared by: R.

The city installs a number of lights each year. However, there are always more needs than available funding . $ 100,000.00 Administration recommends that a project of this type be perpetually included in capital project requests to the Borough and State. 12 Public Works Shop Building Project would construct a new PW shop building approximately 10,000 sf in size $ 4,000,000.00 13 Re -Model of Public safety Emergency Communications Center This project would re- configure the dispatch area including air filtration systems, electrical systems, and underfloor wiring trays. Additionally some new work stations and furniture would be purchased. $ 75,000.00 14 Silver Salmon Drive Paving (Pillars Boat Launch Access Road) Project would repair area of large frost heave, and construct a paved roadway from the end of the existing pavement to the ADNR parking lot/boat launch at the end of the road at the Kenai River. Cost estimate is based on City administration of project. $ 500,000.00 The existing roadway is gravel and poorly maintained. Maintenance is performed by ADNR (I believe on a contract basis). The City recieves numerous complaints each year from users of the road and from property owners in the area as they believe it is a City responsibility. If the State agrees to repair and upgrade the road to an asphalt standard the City should consider assuming maintenence esponsibilities. 15 Kenai Municipal Boat Launch, Peplacement of Damaged Concrete Planks This project would design and install replacement concrete planks on the boat launch ramp. The two older boat launch ramps have planks at the lower elevation that have been damaged by winter ice and by equipment during the annual removal of silt. $ 100,000.00 16 Maintenance Shop Site Remediation ADEC Spill # 1994230110102 The city maintenance shop area has been identified by ADEC as a contaminated site. Barrels of petroleum products and oils were disposed of on this site and measurable levels of pollutants have been identified in an adjacent waterbody. This project would remove contaminated soils, buried containers and barrels. A subsequent phase of this project would remediate the contaminated soils, dispose of containers /barrels, and install monitoring wells. $ 250,000.00 Page 3 of 4 Prepared by: R.
