The project involves the replacement of the City's financial and accounting information system. The City's current system is over 30years old. In 2011, the City awarded a contract to New World Systems to acquire a license to use their Logos Financial and AccountingSystem. Implementation began in September 2011 and the City expects to complete the project by December 2013. The total project isexpected to cost $892,000. Finance is requesting that remaining funds that have been appropriated for this proeject be carried over to2012 and an additional $20,000 in new funding. These funds will be used for hardware and software contingenices outside the contractwith New World resources to supplement the Finance Department during critical phases of the implementation process. We anticipatethat there will be a need to contract with local firms to provide data entry services and backfill some of our staff positions. The cost of thisproject is being funded equally by General Government and KPU.

KPU has historically seen demands of 3 to 5 kW per residence for residential service. Typically, a 25 kWdistribution transformer has been installed to serve 5 to 7 residences. Due to the rapid conversion from oil heat,many residences are requiring a 10 to 15 kW electric heating system, which will quickly overload existingdistribution service transformers. Many of KPU's existing service transformers will be overloaded and will requirereplacement. Many large commercial padmount transformers are nearing end of life and need to be replacedbefore they become an electrical hazard to the public or begin leaking oil.

As described in the division's Engineering & Architectural Services account narrative, Ketchikan needs advanceknowledge of changes in the UVT before the water reaches the UV Facility. UVT measurement and fullautomation at the Chlorination Plant a mile away will provide that information directly to the UV plant’s centralcontrol computer. It can then automatically start the second UV disinfection train so the flow through each unit ishalved, raise the chlorine addition to compensate for the amount destroyed by UV light,and adjust the amount ofammonia added to form chloramines. Design of the equipment was completed by CH2M Hill in 2012. Much of theequipment has been purchased already and this account will provide the funding for its installation.

In addition to the three steel penstocks supplying the Ketchikan hydroelectric generators that extend from the tunnel complexthat transports water from Ketchikan Lakes and then cross Ketchikan Creek on a suspended walkway, there are also two 16-inch steel water mains extending from the same concrete tunnel plug. These are the raw water supply to the KetchikanChlorination Plant and are the sole source of raw water for the entire community. These water supply mains were lastreplaced when the Ketchikan Lakes Dame was rebuilt in 1957. Although their exterior surfaces has been carefully protectedwith coal tar epoxies, they are now finally failing from the pipe interior. As they develop more and more leaks, they are beingpatched with wrap-around bands. These steel 16-inch transmission mains have reached the end of their service life.

The division proposes to continue offering this program in 2012 andrequests that the City Council authorize funding. This program is part of ADEC's mandated cross-connectioncontrol regulations, which require the Utility to be responsible for system-wide protection. Until 2001, Ketchikan'slack of adoption and enforcement of the Uniform Plumbing Code allowed many substandard installations to beconstructed within the community. These deficiencies are still being discovered and must be corrected by theproperty owner.

This project proposes the design and construction of a water fill station that allows bulk water haulers, recreationalvehicles, contractors and private parties to purchase potable water from a remote station without impacting the dailyoperations of the public works department. The current water fill station serving bulk water haulers is located in the backarea of the City Maintenance Facility. The area has become increasingly congested with equipment and experiencesdifficulty with traffic control and safety. Additionally, the Public Works Department does not allow private parties to fillpotable water tanks from the hose bib on the building. This method of tank filling provides no assurance ofdecontamination, nor does it allow the user to pay for the water obtained. Consideration will also be given to relocatingthe RV sewer dump station to the same location.

Replacement of Water Street's Trestle No. 2 beginning in 2014 and continuing for 2 1/2-years will also replace both the waterand sewer mains located beneath the 1,000-foot long trestle. Since the Water Division has requested changes from theoriginal 1962 construction in the exposed portion of the replacement water main and there will be additional changes requiredin the buried portions, the DOT&PF will likely determine that not all of this work is grant eligible and will look to KPU to fund aportion, particularly since the overall cost estimate is now $22,000,000. Consequently, $100,000 is included to fund the non-grant eligible portions and to purchase the fire hydrants and valves that are provided by KPU for every project.

Although some of the water mains have been replaced earlier, this project will allow 1,200 feet ofundersized cast-iron mains to be replaced between Valley Forge and Schoenbar Trail intersections. The Schoenbar Roadwater main is the primary route from the Bear Valley Reservoir to Stedman Street. The expanding fish processing industrieslocated along Stedman Street are consuming more water every year and supplying the fish processors is beginning to tax theability of the Utility to supply their needs. DOWL-HKM's 2012 design has been reviewed at the 65% level and should be 100%complete before year-end.

This viaduct is in need of replacement along with the utilities underneath. The Dunton Viaduct has an estimated constructioncost of $4,200,000. It was nominated for the 2012-2015 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), but wasn'tincluded. Approximately 295' of the new 6-inch main will be buried and may not be eligible for being funded as part of theviaduct replacement. Funding for this design beyond the bridge abutments will appear in both 2013 Water & WastewaterDivisions' Capital Improvement Programs. If the design is completed in-house by December 2013, the Water and WastewaterDivisions intend to submit applications for Drinking Water Loan and Clean Water Loan requests in February 2014. The Waterand Wastewater Divisions also intend to submit an application in August 2014 under ADEC's 70% Municipal Matching Grantprogram. The buried water portion is estimated to cost $168,000..

The Wastewater Division intends to replace all of the sewer along Woodland Avenue between Deermount Street and ParkAvenue. Although the wood-stave half of Woodland's water main was replaced in 1988, this project will allow the remaining420 feet of undersized cast-iron mains to be replaced between the Nickey Way and Deermount Street intersections with 12-inch HDPE. If there was a failure in the Park/Fair route, it would provide an alternate route for water to Stedman Street. This isanother segment of a multi-year program jointly developed by KPU and General Government to replace substandard, defectiveutilities simultaneously whenever possible. The Water and Wastewater Divisions intend to submit an application in August2014 under ADEC's 70% Municipal Matching Grant program.

Construct a modern replacement for the wooden reservoir located on the northerly slope above the intersection of ForestAvenue and the Third Avenue Extension. The existing reservoir is too small to provide adequate fire protection for the StateJail and adjacent residential area that the reservoir serves. Ketchikan is located in Seismic Zone 3 (major damage). Thistype of wooden reservoir will not survive a significant earthquake, nor can it be economically retrofitted with additional shearprotection. Beginning in 2014, site investigations of adjacent property needs to be investigated and acquired in order toconstruct a large, modern 650,000 gallon reservoir that will take about 8-10 years before completion. KPU intends to submitan application in August 2013 under ADEC's 70% Municipal Matching Grant program requesting funds in SFY15 to begin theproject. If approved, property would be purchased by 2016 and construction would start in about 2020.

In the 1998 Comprehensive Plan, the cost of replacing the Confidence Zone Reservoir is estimated (in 1998 dollars) to cost$2.94 million dollars. The area that it serves was originally expected to be a commercial zone (3,500 gpm for 4 hours firefighting). Instead, it has become primarily a residential zone. Before investing significant amounts of money in a newreservoir, the sizing needs to be thoroughly investigated before design commences and suitable property acquired. Theexisting 21,380 gallon bolted steel reservoir was installed in 1992 as a temporary expedient planned to serve only the SolidWaste Handling Facility. Instead, this has become Ketchikan's fastest growing residential area. The division intends to submitan application in August 2013 (SFY 2015) under the 70% Municipal Matching Grant program requesting preliminary designfunds for the proper size reservoir. If approved, funds would be released in summer 2014 to establish the initial design criteriaalong with suitable site locations. Subsequent phases will include geotechnical work, property purchase, and site preparationbefore actual construction could begin about 2020.

Replacing the Hoadley Creek culvert as it crosses Jackson Street will sever the sole arterial water main that supplies both theBaranof and Carlanna Reservoirs for a period of several weeks. Before this occurs, a temporary pump station has to be built at adifferent location to supply the Carlanna Zone since those mains will be severed as well. For the Baranof Zone, a secondaryroute has to be constructed either as a temporary main spanning Hoadley Creek away from the culvert construction area orperhaps a permanent installation made through an existing City street that doesn't presently have a water main and will connectthese two Baranof Zone segments. If the design is completed by July 2015, the Water and Wastewater Divisions intend to submitan application in August 2015 under ADEC's 70% Municipal Matching Grant program requesting funds in SFY17. The remainingfunds would be obtained through a Drinking Water and Clean Water Loan requests submitted in February 2016. If all funding isapproved, construction would begin in 2017..

Site development for the UV Disinfection Facility Project on Schoenbar Road opened up far more property than was originallyproposed. Once the overburden was stripped, substantially more rock was found than originally expected. Rather than simplydispose ofthe excess rock off-site, all of the underlying muskeg has been removed and replaced with shot rock for a minimaladditional expense. This proposed 40' x 60' building will be used to store chemicals, equipment, and maintenance spare parts forthe UV Facility along with the spare parts and chemicals used for pH adjustment. The feeders and pumps for the pH adjustmentare now located at the UV Facility buildling. The former pH Adjustment Building has been converted into a separate facility forammonium hydroxide addition which will change our disinfection chemistry and reduce haloacetic acid formation.
