CITY OF TUKWILA 2014 WRR GRANT <br />Budget: <br />Project <br />2014 <br />Task 5: <br />Compost Demo <br />and Rain <br />Gardens <br />2014 <br />Task <br />Sustainable <br />Code & Policy <br />2: <br />Labor, <br />materials <br />$8, 500 <br />Staff /admin. <br />$2,000 <br />Task 5: Compost Demonstration Site and Rain Garden <br />Project Background /Description: Approximately 15 years ago, Tukwila built and installed a <br />compost demonstration garden at the Tukwila Community Center, including explanatory signs, <br />a range of recycling bins and a recycled plastic bench. The site needs to be refreshed and <br />repaired with new bins, signs, bench and sustainable landscaping in order to restore its <br />usefulness and functionality. In addition, we hope to install a rain garden to complement the <br />compost demonstration site. The rain garden will feature examples of planting and landscaping <br />that protect the adjacent Duwamish River. Depending on site considerations, we either <br />integrate or split the Rain Garden and Compost Demonstration sites. Educational /explanatory <br />signage will be installed for the projects. <br />Once the sites are completed, we'd like to offer programing and /or demonstrations to the <br />public on composting and building a rain garden. The programs may occur after the completion <br />of the 2014 WRR grant. <br />Objective: <br />• Restore, repair existing Compost Demonstration Garden, including <br />educational /descriptive signage, bins, landscaping. <br />• Construct Rain Garden adjacent to Compost Demonstration Garden and Duwamish <br />River, including native /sustainable plants and educational signage describing <br />runoff /pollution issues and sustainable plants. <br />Budget: <br />Project <br />2014 <br />Task 5: <br />Compost Demo <br />and Rain <br />Gardens <br />Labor, <br />materials <br />$8, 500 <br />RF Page 11 of 12 <br />H: \GRANTS -- 2014 - - -WRR \Grant Guidelines + Application \WRR scope- 2014 -- November, 2013-- rev.1.14.doc <br />
