Project consists of designing and engineering a drainage system that replaces the current culverts on Dieckgraeff Road crossing Japanese Creek and road improvements isolated to the affected area identified in the project location. Project location is Seward Alaska (GIS Coordinates 60.14311 / -149.4463). The project must address repetitive loss, referencing the USACE feasibility study, LiDAR survey work and updated flood hazard analysis and mapping. Currently galvanized culverts include two (2) 48" diameter x 48' and one (1) 144" diameter x 48'exist. It is the intent for the KPB to install a system that allows the proper cleaning/maintenance of the system without major impact to the residents and adjacent slopes. Seasonal high-water events cause scouring and sedimentation in the general vicinity of the culverts. The consequences of these actions have caused the overall channel of the water body to vary and allows for buildup of sedimentation or displacement of culverts, creating repetitive loss The successful consultant will be required to work with local authorities and stakeholders for input on design requirements. The consultant will follow a phased approach to project development as described in the general conditions and this RFP.
