HARBOR SYSTEM MASTER PLAN - City and Borough of Sitka

Executive Summary
General Description
Sitka Harbors operates and maintains seven upland buildings including, five restrooms, one
harbormaster/shop building, and one net shed. The restroom buildings are located at the O’Connell Bridge
Lightering Float, Sealing Cove Harbor, ANB Harbor, Thomsen Harbor, and Eliason Harbor. The restrooms
at Crescent Harbor are operated and maintained by the CBS Parks and Recreation Department and not
included in this study. The net shed is located at the west end of Crescent Harbor.
General Condition
All buildings are wood frame construction with concrete footings and range in age from 10 to 35 years old.
These are high use facilities on Sitka’s waterfront. The typical life expectancy for similar use and construction
type public restrooms in a waterfront environment is 30 to 40 years. Overall, facilities in Sitka have been very
well maintained and are in good condition despite being at or near their typical life expectancy. Immediate
and short term actions were identified for each facility. Immediate actions are upgrades and repairs that
address a condition related to health and safety or a condition contributing to system failure. Short-term
upgrades and repairs include preventative maintenance.
Estimated Required Expenditures
Cost estimates have been prepared for in kind replacement of the existing facilities. A square footage
construction cost is applied to each facility. All facilities remained the same size; with the exception of
Eliason restroom which was increased by approximately 10% because it was identified as undersized.
Indirect costs are not included in these estimates.
