Informational Memo <br />Page 2 <br />Next Steps <br />- Finalize the Preferred Alternative and seek Council direction <br />- Identify the funding source and prepare a supplement to David Evans consultant contract to update the cost <br />estimates and finalize the report documents from draft format <br />- Identify and provide funding for preliminary engineering and design of preferred alternative <br />- Continue public outreach and SEPA process <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Staff estimates that the supplemental costs to update the David Evans contract for the cost estimate revisions and finalizing <br />the report will be approximately $15,000. <br />Project costs for the preferred alternative, 48th Ave S Bridge, are unknown until preliminary engineering is underway. Best <br />available estimates developed in 2017 were approximately $20 million (in 2019, the estimate could be as high as $34 <br />million). In general, there are not many outside funding sources (i.e. federal, state funding) for new bridges such as the <br />potential 48th Ave S Bridge Project. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Discussion only. <br />On June 18, 2019 the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee discussed this issue and unanimously agreed on a <br />recommendation for staff to contract with David Evans & Associates to update the construction estimates and finalize the <br />study in order for the City Council to make a decision on the preferred alternative. The Committee requested that the full <br />Council be briefed and given the opportunity to provide direction on next steps. <br />If the Council gives direction on June 24th to pursue completion of the study, estimated to cost up to $15,000, it will not <br />require an additional contract approval as it will be under the Mayor's signing authority per the City's contract policy. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Draft BNSF Intermodal Facility Access Study - Draft Alternative Screening Analysis (full draft) <br />• Draft BNSF Intermodal Facility Access Study — Preferred Alternative Outreach Summary <br />58 <br />CAUserslaurel-h\ AppData\LocaNVIicrosoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.OutlookW75NL7R5UnfoMemoBNSFuPdateHP_LH.docx <br />
