New Road Design
Unalakleet, Alaska
   |
The Bureau of Indian Affairs retained RPKA to perform a feasibility study for a new 2 mile roadway. The roadway would allow the City of Unalakleet to abandon the old road parallel to the airport runway and expand the runway to the north. The roadway was a sensitive project due to the need to cross a large wetland. Since the completion of that portion of this project, the Village of Unalakleet retained 638 rights to the project and hired RPKA to design the road. The firm's full scope of work included:
- Preliminary investigation
- Preliminary engineering
- Environmental assessment
- Field reconnaissance survey
- Material source investigation
- Hydrology study
- Permitting
- Approval coordination
- Public involvement program
- Final design
- Construction bid document
- Project close out
This project was built using force account construction with RPKA serving as construction inspectors.
