Cost of Kenai bluff erosion study tops $1 million

The city of Kenai is paying almost twice as much as initially estimated for a bluff erosion study.
The Peninsula Clarion reports the Army Corps of Engineers is splitting the study’s cost with the city. Initially estimated at $650,000, several factors have pushed that price to about $1.17 million.
Army Corps of Engineers Kenai Bluff Stabilization Project manager Dave Martinson says a wider-than-normal scope and increased costs of other elements of the study have driven the price upward.
