Box 360 Hoonah, Alaska 9929 Prepared by: PND Engineers 9360 Glacier Highway, Suite 100 Juneau, Alaska 99801 (907) 586-2093 January 12, 2012 Hoonah Berthing Facility Site Alternative Analysis Report January 12, 2012 Page 1 Project Description and Purpose The Hoonah Berthing Facility project involves the construction of multi-use facility near Cannery Point north of Hoonah. The project is being funded by a grant from the State of Alaska. As described in a letter from State Representative Bill Thomas to Mr. Scott Ruby, Director of the Division of Community and Regional Affairs: “The primary purpose of this grant is to fund the construction of a dock near Cannery Point which will be able to accommodate large cruise ships.” The letter also stated that: “The secondary purpose of the grant is to fund a design that will be able to accommodate year round ancillary uses such as barges, large yachts, the Alaska Marine Highways, and the US Coast Guard vessels. Maximizing the usage of this dock is important. When cruise ships are not using the dock, there is a perfect opportunity to explore other benefits that it might bring to the City of Hoonah.” Site Alternatives Analysis In early August, 2011, the City of Hoonah retained PND Engineers Inc. (PND) to investigate three sites for the Hoonah Berthing Facility: One site northwest of Cannery Point, one adjacent to the Cannery and a third site near Shaman or Hoonah Point. User Criteria An initial meeting was held on August 23, 2011 at the City of Hoonah City Hall to discuss the site analysis.

    MAP CONSULTING LLC 11640 WOODBOURNE DR. ANCHORAGE, AK 99516 USA April 2, 2019 Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities Office of the Commissioner Attention: Amy Deininger Request for Proposal (RFP) Number 2519S079 Project name: AMHS Economic Reshaping Consultant PO Box 112500 Juneau, Alaska 99811-2500 Dear Ms. Deininger: MAP Consulting, LLC is pleased to submit to the State of Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) our proposal for the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) reshaping consulting services. We have assembled a team with the professional background and experience to provide the economic analysis of the AMHS to identify potential reductions of the State’s financial obligations and/or liabilities as they relate to the AMHS as directed by Governor Dunleavy. Our economic analysis will also identify potential reshaping opportunities for the AMHS including public-private partnerships, selling all or parts of the system to a private entity or non-profit, or reducing service to routes off the National Highway System to be filled in by private operators with smaller vessels, among other opportunities. Our understanding of the scope of the economic reshaping analysis, the State’s schedule for delivering the final report and recommendations, and our professional expertise are more fully described in the attached proposal. This proposal chronicles expertise to perform the services, tasks and deliverables set forth in the RFP. Our commitment to this effort is without condition or conflict. MAP Consulting exceeds the minimum contractor experience requirements stipulated under the Prior Experience section of the RFP. Our proposed consulting team’s qualifications and experience far exceed the three years requirement for conducting similar work in Alaska and elsewhere as outlined in Section 1.4 and in Appendices A and B of our attached technical proposal.
