Business Plan & Feasibility Study Visitor Housing
The Community of Alakanuk has an extensive demand for visitor housing and will meet this
demand by expanding and renovating an existing structure. The four-plex will serve visitors
from regional, state and federal agencies conducting business with the organizations of the
community; the traditional council, the City of Alakanuk and the local village corporation as
well as an available resource for visitors to the local Alakanuk school.

Alakanuk Visitor Housing - Business Plan/Feasibility
Spring 2009
3
Introduction and Scope
Alakanuk Traditional Council expressed a need to
complete rental units in the community to provide
housing for visitors conducting business with the
resident organizations and the local school. Regional
organizations for Alakanuk are: Alakanuk Native
Corporation, the village corporation formed under the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the City of
Alakanuk, the municipality serving the residents and
the Traditional Council for Alakanuk, the federally
recognized tribe representing members of Alakanuk.
Alakanuk, like many rural communities in Alaska is
growing and has a growing number of visitors
conducting business in the community who are
employed with regional, state and federal government
agencies. Examples of agencies sending employees
are: The State of Alaska Department of Transportation,
Department of Community and Regional Affairs, the
Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and the Department of Education and Early Development. Some
Federal agencies include: the Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Aviation Administration
and the Environmental Protection Agency. These are examples of the agencies sending their employees
to Alakanuk to complete: engineering, conduct immunizations and other health related visits, oversee
projects and grants as well as other essential services to the community from their employers.
These visitors are essential to the community and represent the market for the Visitor Housing proposed
for Alakanuk. The Scope of this plan is to determine and demonstrate the feasibility of renovating and
providing Visitor Housing rental units to meet this demand of housing visitors to the community of
Alakanuk.
Alakanuk Visitor Housing - Business Plan/Feasibility
Spring 2009

Section 1: Executive Summary
There is a tremendous unmet demand for
visitor housing in Alakanuk. Many agencies -
local regional, state and federal routinely send
employees and contractors to the community to
meet complete program responsibilities and
over see projects. These visitors are vitally
important to the community To meet this
demand, the Traditional Council of Alakanuk
will improve, renovate and expand the existing
building shown -- and utilize it to provide
rental housing for visitors. The existing facility will be expanded by 2,400 square feet and total
approximately 3,500 square feet and divided into an area sufficient to house four (4) visitors in a modern
housing unit. Each pair of units will share common facilities; kitchens, laundry and have separate
bathroom/shower rooms.
The intent of this proposal is to (1) provide housing to visitors and (2) increase local revenue to (a)
support the housing units; to contribute to current maintenance and a sinking fund to replace and expand
the rental units as they become fully depreciated, and (b) utilize any profit to provide additional general
fund revenue to supplement the Council's programs.
This project is a force account project to be completed with local hire with an outside architect/engineer
to complete the construction documents and assist on issues related to insurance related requirements;
Fire Marshall inspections, handicap access and other safety issues. The Budget for the outside
consultant is expected to be 15% of the cost of the building and the remaining cost labor and
construction materials. This project will utilize a facility made available with the construction of a new
Multi-Use Facility. The existing offices will be available for renovation and an addition. This will
result in substantially lower construction/renovation costs and utilize existing space to provide revenue
for the Council. The Visitor Rentals will generate approximately $20,000 net income annually and will
create a part-time position and expand the criteria for Traditional Council administration to include
rental management.

Section 2: The Location, Economy and History Source (http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/dca/commdb/CF_BLOCK.cfm)
Location of Alakanuk/Recording Unit/Climate
The Community of Alakanuk (Alakanuk is a
Yupik word meaning "wrong way".) lies at
approximately 62.688890� North Latitude
and -164.615280� West Longitude. (Sec.
14, T030N, R082W, Seward Meridian.)
Alakanuk is a Yupik Eskimo village active in
commercial fishing and subsistence located at
the east entrance of Alakanuk Pass, the major
southern channel of the Yukon River Delta
15 miles from the Bering Sea. It is the
longest community on the lower Yukon River
stretching over a 3 mile area along the meandering Alakanuk Pass. There are approximately 25 homes
along the bank threatened by river erosion. The Yukon River is used as an ice road during freeze-up,
from November through May. The nearest community is Emmonak, Alaska eight (8) miles northeast by
air and 162 miles from the regional hub Bethel, Alaska. Alakanuk is located in the Bethel Recording
District. The area under Alakanuk's jurisdiction encompasses 32.4 sq. miles of land and 8.7 sq. miles of
water. The climate of Alakanuk is subarctic, averaging 60 inches of snowfall and 19 inches of total
precipitation per year with temperatures ranging
from -25 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavy winds are
frequent during the fall and winter. These weather
considerations will determine the amount necessary
to maintain heat for the new rental units.
History of Alakanuk
The village was first reported by G.R. Putnam of the
U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey in 1899. It was
originally settled by a Yupik shaman named
Anguksuar and his family. A Catholic mission school was built near the village. A post office was

established in 1946. In 1948, the school was relocated to St. Mary's, and many families moved from the
old school site to Alakanuk. It was also incorporated as a second-class city in 1969.
Economy:
Alakanuk experiences a seasonal economy with seventy-six (76) residents holding commercial fishing
permits -- gill net and set net fishermen sell their salmon to fish buyers but poor fish returns continuing
since 1998 have significantly had a negative affected economic the community. Government
employment and retail businesses provide limited year-round employment. Salmon, beluga whale, seal,
moose and rabbit provide food sources. Some residents trap. As with most communities in rural Alaska
many residents travel to nearby Emmonak to shop, attend social events and basketball tournaments.
Facilities:
The City of Alakanuk operates the water and piped sewer system and the central watering point.
Approximately 90% of homes are connected to the water and sewer system with a sewage lagoon
available for individuals to dump their honeybuckets. The City Council is the policy-making body for
the utility. Drinking water is derived from the Alakanuk Slough, where is it drawn, treated, stored in a
tank and piped to most of the community. In 1998, 83 homes, the school and teachers' housing were
connected to a new piped system. New facilities include a water treatment plant, heated 300,000-gal.
water storage tank, vacuum sewage plant, sewage lagoon, arctic piping, and household plumbing.
New subdivision have been developed and connected to the piped utilities. The city has funding from
DEC for service connections to 20 additional homes. River erosion remains an issues and ten (10)
homes have been moved from the erosion zone on the river bank and are ready for service. The city is
has moved an additional 10 homes and Alaska Village of Council Presidents (AVCP) developed a 9-
home subdivision with water and sewer mains and service connections completed. The city completed a
feasibility study for "service area 7" which is the area across the river and would like to obtain funding
to make this expansion. The landfill is reported as inactive, however due to erosion has become an issue
and needs to be removed. Alakanuk is a growing community with an associated number of visitors
spending time in Alakanuk to complete and manage these and other projects.

Transportation:
A State-owned 2,200' long by 55' wide gravel airstrip is available. An airport relocation project is
underway, due to erosion. Grant Aviation, Hageland Aviation and Tanana Air Service offer passenger
flight service. Alakanuk is easily accessible from the Yukon River and Bering Sea by barge and
riverboat. Most passengers and mail arrive by air. There are no roads connecting Alakanuk with other
population centers in the region, but ice roads are used in winter. Snow machines and boats are used for
local travel.
Climate:
The climate of Alakanuk is subarctic, averaging 60 inches of snowfall and 19 inches of total
precipitation per year. Temperatures range from between -25 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavy winds are
frequent during the fall and winter. The Yukon River is used as an ice road during freeze-up, from
November through May.
Section 3: Visitor Characteristics
Listed on the Capital Projects and Grants for Alakanuk are a variety Federal and State of Alaska
agencies: the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Housing and Urban Development,
Denali Commission, Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Community and Regional
Affairs are just an example. These agencies often are managing projects involving private contractors
and consultants who are required to remain in Alakanuk for extended periods during the short summer
construction season. Also listed are health agencies, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium,
Village Safe Water and Yukon Kuskokwim Health corporation. These entities often send employees
and contractors to the area to complete surveys, provide immunizations, dental services and health fairs.
These visitors represent the unmet demand for visitor housing and are well supported by their agencies
for housing and overnight costs. It is the intent of Alakanuk to tap into this resource and provide
overnight and extended stay housing for the visitors.

Section 4: Visitor Rentals - Description
The following are options and the final design determined by the completion of the construction
documents. The visitor units will be approx. 3,500 square feet in area and be an addition to an existing
community owned building. The units will share a common kitchen and laundry facility and have
separate single bedroom efficiency apartments. Each unit will have private bathrooms with showers and
areas for television, internet connections and other amenities associated with overnight stays. The
conceptual plans is as follows and will be utilized to complete the construction documents:

Section 5: Management
Construction Management
The Traditional Council of Alakanuk will utilize local labor from Alakanuk and Emmonak and materials
from regional and urban building suppliers to complete the units. The project will be managed by a
hired construction manager and they will be responsible for the completion of the insurance and State of
Alaska requirements for building safety and oversight will remain with the Council. The rental units
may become part of a larger development plan to complete a Multi-use Facility for the community. As
the communities governmental units move into the new Facility the visitor units may be completed
simultaneously. It is possible the visitor units may be folded into the development plan for the new
Facility and be completed during the same time.
Visitor Rental Management
Management of the units will be done by the council administrative staff. There will be a new part-time
position created to serve as the building custodian and they will be responsible for the daily operation of
the unit; cleaning and preparing the rooms of rent. The maintenance of the units will fall under the
existing maintenance of the Council. Costs for these are detailed in the appendix: Operation and
Maintenance tables. Repair and Replacement for the new rentals will be part of the overall R&R for the
council and may be subsidized with existing council labor and maintenance programs.
The Council staff will serve as the Property Manager for this facility. All custodians and maintenance
personnel will report to the Tribal Administrator. The Council also operating various programs from the
including:
Tribal Operations, Records Management, Finance & Administration

Section 6: Sustainability and Replacement Cost
Revenue
Visitors compensation for lodging is determined by federal guidelines published in "MAXIMUM PER
DIEM RATES OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES TRAVEL PER DIEM
ALLOWANCES" Source: (http://perdiem.hqda.pentagon.mil/cgi-bin/pd-rates/opdrates.pl). These are
not exact for every visitor, however it shows the level of revenue and rates available to the Visitor
rentals. For Bethel, Alaska -- the closest listing on the table (see appendix) -- the rate for lodging is at
$139/day. To calculate the revenue generated by these units the rate of per day and the utilization rate
are evaluated as follows: Total estimated revenue at 65% utilization rate is: $86,736.00 annually.

Replacement Sinking Fund & Operational/Maintenance Costs
This unit will be built on property renovated by the Traditional Council -- provided as the Council
offices are moved into a new multi-use facility. Although this visitor rental will be of great economic
value to the community and meet the demand for visitor stays, it still must cover the following Financial
costs: Operation and Maintenance Expenses, Repair and Replacement expenses for fixtures and support
equipment and a Capital Replacement Sinking fund account. New construction costs are extreme in
rural Alaska and the further from urban area suppliers the higher the costs. To alleviate the initial costs
to build and complete the project a force account approach will be utilized; the majority of the labor will
originate from the community and other communities in the nearby region. It was estimated the cost of
construction during 2008 was in excess of $500 per square foot for completed projects. For this
renovation/addition project the estimated cost per square foot will be approximately $375 per square

foot. This will cover the additional 2,400 new addition and the renovation of the existing structure. The
building is already serviced by existing utilities and other items so this will factor into the lower cost
compared to new construction. The final cost per square foot will be determined by the construction
documents. material costs and labor rates, however, even if the visitor rentals were all new construction
and the cost was $500/square foot, the project is still estimated to produce a positive net income of
$19,055annually.

Assumptions for the capital replacement account are: (1) the account will provide 80% of the
replacement cost (2) the expected useful life is 35 years, at (3) 1.5% inflation rate with a (4) very modest
3.5 rate of return on the account. Included in the appendix is the Capital Replacement Worksheet with
construction costs at $375/square foot.
Operations and Maintenance
Operation and Maintenance Costs are typical for rental units. There will be Administrative,
Maintenance and Custodial costs, utilities and supplies costs.

Conclusions
To make economic sense a capital project must either facilitate or create market demand -- sometimes
difficult to attain, or meet an unmet need - a far easier proposition in many cases. In this case, the visitor
rentals will be providing overnight and visitor facilities for an "Unmet Need".
It is unrealistic to expect the units to be at 100% capacity during the year. This analysis made an
assumption - the units will be utilized 65% of the time - mostly to outside agency employees and
contractors conducting business in the community. The rental rates are set near the allowable per diem
rates and these may change depending on the agency, however for this plan the rates were set at
$139/night.
Alakanuk Council may adjust these rates, offer deals and other marketing schemes to increase the
revenue of the units. Some ideas maybe to make the units open for visitors traveling to Alakanuk for
weddings, basketball, visits and other social events hosted by the community.
Based on this analysis, the rental units are economically and financially feasible. They will both - be a
valuable economic resource for the long term benefit of the community and create net revenue for the
community.
