CONSIDERATION OF MATTERS IN THE CALL FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING
A. Contract No. FY2015-24 Trail Hardening and Improvements to the Saltery Cove and
Portage Bay Trails.
LEDOUX moved to authorize the Manager to execute Contract No. FY2015-24 with Island Trails
Network for the Trail Hardening and Improvements to the Saltery Cove and Portage Bay Trails
in the amount not to exceed $200,000.
In March 2014, the Borough was awarded a Coastal Impacts Assistance Program (CIAP) grant
in the amount of $208,540 for improvements to the Saltery Cove and Portage Bay Trails. The
project would serve to protect the wildlife habitat, the environment, and provide safer passage
for the community on the heavily used trails.
Only one bidder responded to the Request for Proposal (RFP) which was Island Trails Networks
(ITN). ITN had a great deal of experience with similar projects on Kodiak. Staff assessed the
proposal and was confident of a successful project. Borough staff would work closely with ITN
on the project due to the sensitive habitat and land ownership permitting requirements. The
grant funding was capped at $208,540 and $200,000 was being allotted for the contract,
allowing $8,540 for Borough staff time and contingencies.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Austerman, LeDoux, Lynch,
Peterson, Rohrer and Skinner.
