To Carey Meyer,
TerraSond is pleased to commit our services to the City of Homer and it’s pursuit goal for tidal power. We
understand that The City of Homer is currently requesting consulting expertise from TerraSond at this
time. TerraSond is prepared to provide professional geodetic and geophysical measurement services for
the Kachemak Bay Tidal Energy Project as well should the need arise.
TerraSond looks forward to supporting the communities of Homer, Seldovia, Halibut Cove, and Port

power generation for the Kachemak Bay region.
Although flexible in our capabilities, TerraSond has understood that we may be of use to your project in
the following ways:
Task 1.) Technical assistance during the design phase of data collection.
Task 2.) Desk top study of the tidal power potential inherent in the float displacement for each
community that has published historic data available.
Task 3.) Consultation and assessment for both the draft & final circulation flow models.
Task 4.) Identification of available historical current data, including the assessment for wither
these data can meaningfully contribute to the circulation flow model or to the resources
assessment.
Task 5.) Consultation and general client representation for data integrity. TerraSond will review
the available data, identify deviations from the intended acquisition, and
communicate/translate pertinent information to all stakeholders invested in the success of
the current model through the power model phase.
