HARBOR SYSTEM MASTER PLAN - City and Borough of Sitka

Renovate all of the shore-tie pedestals that are in fair to good condition. This will involve repairing
base mounting apparatus and replacing the internal components. The mounting should be revised
to address the bullrail movement, and its affect on the pedestal assembly.
Provide new pedestals for one of the Head Walks, allowing the good pedestals currently on this
float to be used as replacements for those that are no longer repairable. All new pedestals should be
fitted with utility grade, class 1 meters allowing for revenue readings.
Lighting:
Uplands: Review the illumination patterns and illumination levels. Consider replacing the fixtures
with more efficient types in the future to reduce energy consumption.
Gangways: Replace all luminaires. Consider application of an energy efficient type (LED). Reuse
the existing circuits with the application of repairs. Replace the photoelectric cell.
Floats: Retain the present lighting system until the floats are replaced. At that time, the luminaires
should be replaced with a type mounted to poles, or the shore-tie pedestals, mounted to the floats.
This eliminates the conflict of aerial cables with vessel masts and rigging.
Communications:
Remove all excess circuits.
Sitka Harbor System Master Plan
Condition Inventory
Provide a new distribution system with larger (feeder type) cables and small pedestals on the floats
with small cables to the desired vessels. This will require a survey of current and project customer
needs.
