Coast Guard orders $10,000 in Dutch Harbor spill mitigation services

The U.S. Coast Guard committed $10,000 Nov. 6 to Resolve Marine Group Inc. for oil and hazardous chemical spill mitigation in Dutch Harbor. The company is to provide labor, materials and equipment to limit the harmful effects of a spill, working under the direction of the federal on-scene coordinator. That is the official designated in advance by the EPA or the Coast Guard to coordinate and direct responses.

The order was one of seven federal actions touching Alaska recorded between Nov. 5 and Nov. 9. The figures are obligations, money the government has committed, rather than money already spent.

Fairbanks-based Wright Air Service Inc. gained $105 in its Essential Air Service subsidy for Manley Hot Springs, bringing that award to $10,348. The subsidy is meant to keep a minimal level of scheduled air service connecting the community to the national air system.

Anchorage-based Koniag Advisory and Business Solutions LLC gained $138,652 from the Indian Health Service for an IT specialist working in Oklahoma City. The change brought the order to $273,299 and extended it to Nov. 30, 2027.

Interior removed $7,099 in excess funds from a Chugach Electric Association order. It also trimmed three flight contracts whose work wrapped up by Sept. 30:

• Wasilla's Pollux Aviation: $4,104 cut from a helicopter order for Snowbird Glacier SNOTEL maintenance

• Fairbanks' Shadow Aviation: $3,546 cut from National Park Service yellow-billed loon research flights in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve

• Nome's Bering Air: $21,065 cut from helicopter flights in Kobuk for the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center's Ferrum project
