SUBJECT: Resolution 2011 -65
SFY 2013 ADEC Municipal Matching Grant Program
The Administration recommends that the City Council approve the above- referenced
resolution. The resolution designates the "Water Transmission Mains (Phase IV) and
Related Improvements" as the City's number one local state - funded capital improvement
project for FY 2013. This designation is significant because a project's designation as
the number one project will assure that the project receives the maximum number of
points in the ADEC's competitive grading system for the State's Municipal Matching
Grant (MMG) program. A resolution is the required method for the City to make this
designation.
Time is of the essence due to the State's deadlines for its project evaluations under the
MMG program. Thus, this resolution is presented as a lay down so that the City can
meet the State's time requirements. If the resolution is not considered until the next City
Council meeting on September 7, the designation will have no impact on the MMG
project ratings by State officials.
The project identified is:
Water Transmission Mains Phase IV - Construct an additional municipal
production well in the Beaver Creek well field and approximately 6,000 lineal feet
of water transmission main along Beaver Loop Road beginning at Togiak Street
and ending at a point between Ames Road and Angler Drive. This is phase one
of the three phase project to construct a water main along Beaver Loop Road.
This phase has a total project cost of $2,684,000 with a 70% ADEC matching
grant fund request of $1,878,800.
