1. Sand Point Boat Harbor Road, A Long Journey
By Tiffany Jackson
For the 2017 BIA Providers Conference

2. History Original Project, Sand Point Dump Road
Road completed, but not accepted by City
Administration felt grade of road was too steep
Change requested by City
Congressional earmark to make change
Not enough funds for proposed

3. Hurdles Current Administration Getting Everyone on the same page
Not enough funding for original project
Other project high priority for Tribe
Not enough funds for other high priority project

4. What We Wanted To Do Reduce scope on initial contract
Significant cost savings
Use remaining funds in other high priority project
Utilize older contracts and partner with Unga tribe to pave Boat Harbor Road

5. So What Changed? Change in Administration
Tribe and City
POC Program Review recommended possible solutions
TTP Director attended BIA Providers conference
Lines of communication opened
Consistence with our POC, Nathan Cornilles

6. A Solution?
Other tribes encouraged to add route as a class 11, Unga Tribe did do this
Class 11 - indicates an overlapping or previously inventoried section or sections of a route
Request money saved by reduction in original scope be re-allocated to other high priority project

7. How Do We Get There? Approach City on Reduction of Scope
Request BIA Transportation and Federal Highway Administration permission to allocate funds saved to other high priority project
Critical – complete reduced scope work on original contract before October 2014
Have City sign off on route 1002

8. Meaningful Partnerships
