STATE OF ALASKA                                                                  BILL NO. SB 203 am
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill would extend the existing Purple Heart Trail that currently stretches from the Canadian border to Fairbanks by
   extending it down portions of the Parks Highway, the Glenn Highway, the Seward Highway, and Sterling Highway, ending
   in Homer.
   Language in this bill calls for the option of thirdparty donations to pay for the signage along the extended trail.
   Additionally, federal funds and grants could be utilized under existing statutory authority in AS 44.42.060 to pay for
   signage. Given the mix of funds, it is uncertain what portion of funding will ultimately be contributed and therefore this
   fiscal analysis provides the full cost contemplated by the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities' (DOT&PF)
   best interpretation of the current language, lending from how signage was placed for the existing Purple Heart Trail
   (2008). Note: the below costs are represented in thousands, see associated PDF for greater detail on signage placement
   provided to committee.
   In DOT&PF Northern Region (NR), x1 large sign (12.5' x 6' @ $19,260.0 ea.), x6 small signs (3' x 4.5' @ $5,030.0 ea), and x2
   interpretive displays (kiosk @ $10,000.0 ea.) are proposed by the department following the language of this bill as a total
   of $69,440.0 for all signs in NR. This area represents leaving Fairbanks down the Parks Highway south. This stretch is
   approximately 191 miles in total distance.
   In DOT&PF Central Region (CR), x3 large sign (12.5' x 6' @ $19,260.0 ea.), x14 small signs (3' x 4.5' @ $5,030.0 ea), and x4
   interpretive displays (kiosk @ $10,000.0 ea.) are proposed by the department following the language of this bill as a total
   of $168,200.0 for all signs in CR. This area represents the Parks Highway south, the Glenn Highway, the Seward, the
   Sterling Highway and ending in Homer. This stretch is approximately 293 miles in total distance.
   The DOT&PF Commissioner's Office, and associated regions, would work with interested parties to pay for portions of this
   signage through memoranda of understanding and any state funds appropriated that are offset by these donation would
   then lapse back into the state general fund.
   Senate Finance amended this legislation to include the Alaska Marine Highway System to the Purple Heart Trail, extending
   an additional 3,500 miles. The same kiosk that will be used in pullouts will be used as a plaque on every operational vessel
   in the AMHS fleet. Currently 9 vessels would have plaques installed at a cost of $2,000.0 ea. for a total of $18,000.0 to
   create and install across the entire AMHS fleet.
   Altogether, the new signs for the extended portion of the proposed Purple Heart Trail, adding the AMHS portion, are
   estimated to cost $255,640 for both NR, CR, and AMHS.
