Finance committee recommends RFB for rock‑slide mitigation and approves related construction and monitoring contracts
Summary
The committee moved to issue a request for bids for construction manager/general contractor (CMGC) services for a rock‑slide mitigation project, and recommended or approved related contracts for dredging support, electrical construction oversight and summer slope monitoring.
The Skagway Municipality Finance Committee this session recommended issuing a request for bids to bring a contractor into the rock‑slide mitigation project during design and approved or recommended a series of related professional services proposals.
Borough manager Emily Deach told the committee that phase 1 design for the rock‑slide mitigation is funded and that bringing a contractor on during design would streamline later construction. "We could probably have a contractor on ... by August–September," Deach said, noting the schedule must account for cruise‑ship periods. After discussion, a committee member moved to issue an RFB for CMGC services; the motion carried on a voice vote (three ayes recorded).
On monitoring and technical support, the committee moved to recommend the GeoCheck summer rock‑slope monitoring proposal for $45,960; members amended the motion to forward a recommendation to the assembly and approved it by voice vote. Deach described previous years' monitoring and a pared‑down scope with twice‑monthly check‑ins and replacement of a "total station" laser unit that records prism distances.
The committee also recommended approval of amendments to KPFF's dredging support services (amendments 2 and 3 totaling $99,324) to expand the dredge concept east of the ferry float and begin permitting for marine sediment sampling. That motion passed on a recorded series of ayes (six ayes recorded in the transcript).
Separately, the committee recommended construction management support for the Ordoq electrical project (not to exceed $109,298) to manage on‑site contractors and payment applications.
Actions recorded in the meeting memo and taken by the committee include: issuance of an RFB for CMGC services for rock‑slide mitigation, recommendation to the assembly of the GeoCheck monitoring contract, recommendation of KPFF dredging amendments totaling $99,324, and recommendation of construction management support for Ordoq electrical work. Manager Deach said the rock‑slide mitigation design is funded by grant/brick funds for design and that implementation would use vessel impact fees or municipal funds as appropriate.
The committee did not vote to appropriate construction funds at this meeting; the motions were to issue bids or recommend contract approvals to the assembly where appropriation and formal contract awards occur.
