Project 7'it-e: City of Kenai Maintenance Shop Site Remediation
Project Description:
The city maintenance shop area has been identified as a contaminated site. The
project will remove and treat contaminated soils, install sewers to transport floor
drainage and domestic waste to the city sewer system, and remove other sub-surtace
materials for proper disposal. Various site investigations have been prepared and a
work plan for cleanup has been prepared. Sewers were instailed in 2006 to collect
wastewater from floor drains and restrooms.
Project Justification:
We have spent several years preparing studies, installing monitoring wells, collecting
samples and miscellaneous work. ADEC has requested that actual remediation work
begin. Some of the cleanup standards have become less stringent, making it a good
time to begin. Cleanup of this site will also lessen future city financial unknown
liabilities.
Esfimated Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $550,000
Annua/ maintenance and operation cost: $10,000
Other major cost items: Unknown
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
The initial cleanup will be costly and could affect future budgets depending upon funding
sources. The cleanup, however, will remove a large potential financial liability as noted
in recent audits. An on-going cost for long-term monitoring and testing will be required.
Recommended Funding Sources:
Alaska Legisiative Grant (current available funds), ADEC Matching Grant (applied for),
ADEC loan, City General Fund, Special Revenue Funds.

ProjectTitle: City Hail HVAC Improvements
Project Description:
Kenai City Hall construction was completed in 1981. The current HVAC system does
not provide adequate heating capacity under winter conditions or cooling capacity under
summer conditions. Also, air exchange standards are not being met by the existing
system for an office environment. In 2001 an analysis of the system was prepared
outlining recommendations for improvements. A cost estimate was aiso prepared and
engineering plans developed.
Project Justification:
Proper control of the HVAC system to provide uniform heating and ventilation is a
constant challenge with the present system. The Iack of air conditioning and proper
temperature confroi requires the use of several fans during summer months and
individual employee unit heaters in the winter to provide a suitable working climate.
Proper air exchange and filtration are also questionable in today's office working
climate.
Estimated Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $150,000
Annual maintenance and operation cost: Minimal
Other major cost ifems: Unknown
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
Initial improvements would impact the General Fund. On-going maintenance and
operation should be minimal, or reduced, due to a more efficient system.
Recommended Funding Sources:

could come from City Funds or the ADWF ( loan program) or Direct Legislative Grant.

ProjectTitle: Kenai Community Library Expansion
Project Description:
Construction of a new library or expansion of existing building of approximately 27,000
square feet on city-owned land.
Project Justification:
The need for additional library space has been discussed and studied for more than ten
years. A needs study early this year (2006) indicated that the library currently needs an
additional 10,000 square feet and that the need 20 years out will be a total square
footage of approximately 27,000 square feet. The study concluded that parking in the
city core would be inadequate for a building this size.
Many of the activities held in the library (especially family and children's programs) do
not have adequate space. The library is currently ~ot ADA compliant in most of the
public space.
Physical space for computers and casual readers is inadequate, with almost 800 people
waiting during one summer month to use any computer. Storage is totally inadequate
and shelving is at a premium. Many materials are place too high or low for most people
to comfortably use them.
Estimafed Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $4,000,000-
12,000,000
Annual maintenance and operation cost: $600,000*
" this amount represents the approximate annual budget of the library.
Other major cost items: Library and general office
furnishings, computer equipment.
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
The City General Fund would increase for maintenance and operations approximately
proportional to the increase in square footage for the building. Some increase in
revenues might be seen through increased user fees.
Recommended Funding Sources:
City General Fund, any combination of grants available, Friends of Kenai Community
Library, Inc. funds, State of Alaska.

ProjectTitle: Kenai Vehicle Maintenance Facility
Project Description:
The project would construct a new 24,967-square-foot vehicle and equipment
maintenance buiBding. The facility would have three new equipment/vehicle
maintenance bays, a welding area, wash bay, tire area, offices, restrooms, parts
storage, building maintenance shop area, miscellaneous storage, etc. A preliminary
design has been prepared with a cost estimate prepared from schematics in 1998. The
project costs reflect anticipated cost increases to 2006. This project could be scaied
down in size and/or redesigned to achieve cost savings.
Project Justification:
The present originai shop facility was constructed in the 1960's and has been added
onto with building additions and connexes over the years. This facility is too small and
inadequately equipped to maintain the city vehicle, heavy equipment, and small
equipment fleet. Some of the larger equipment will not fit into the building and lack of
space does not aliow for efficient maintenance. The building does not have a modern
washroom and has substandard electrical a~d mechanical systems.
Esfimafed Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $4,500,000
Annual maintenance and operation cost; $100,000
Other major cost items:
Equipment included-some existing equipment to be moved from existing facility.
Estimafed Effects on Municipal Budget:
An increase in the City General Fund budget should be expected commensurate with
other buildings of this size. Personnel additions are not expected initially.

Project Title: Surface Drainage Improvements
Projecf Description:
This project is to replace infiltration basins with underground storm drains andlor
improve the infiltration basins, if possible. The streets that we have had problems with
include ~ake Street, Windward Drive, Equinox Way, Inlet Woods Drive, Channel Way,
Woodside Avenue, Toyon Way, Pine Avenue, and others.
Project Justification;
The topography of large areas within the City of Kenai is rather flat which has caused
many drainage problems. Instead of constructing miles of expensive storm drains and
dealing with freezing lines and possible Iift station probiems, the city built many
infiltration basins. The surface water collects at these infiltration basins and dissipates
into the ground. Unfortunately, during certain times of the year these infiltration basins
will not take all of the water. This happens when the ground is frozen around the basins
and we have heavy rains. It also happens when the ground water table is high and
therefore cannot except any more water. We then have flooding is the low spots near
the basins.
Estimated Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost:
Annual maintenance and operation cost:
Other major cost items:
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
Reduces time and expense on existing budget.

UPGRADES
Project Description:
Realign entrance and exit roads and reconfigure parking spaces in long term and
rental car parking lots.
Project Justification
The exiting lot was designed under antiquated guidelines that did not anticipate
the larger, longer wheel base vehicles now in use. The current spaces are too
small and the longer vehicles parked in those spaces impede the traffic flow and
snow removal in the aisies.

Project Title: LIBRARY AUTOMATION
Project Description:
Update and improve the library automation system for circulation of materials,
cataloging and maintenance of patron database.
Project Justification:
The Horizon system was purchased approximately 5 years ago. It has had minimal
updates and improvements over those years. This system was marketed by the Dynix
Corporation which has since merged to become SirsiDynix. Our customer service
contract costs the City approximately $9,000 a year. The system is difficult for staff to
use and customer service is not reliable. A simpler system would save staff time and
aggravation and would be more cost effective in the long run. A web-based system
would save the city the cost of a new server and its' upkeep.
Estimafed Prolecf Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $ 25,000*
Annual maintenance and operation cost: $ 5,000~
Other major cost items Staff training
~Approximate costs. Bids being solicited.
