Renewal of moratorium on certain types of signage
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
November 7, 2007
Issue
Renewal of a six-month moratorium on the acceptance of sign permit applications for the
installation of animated and electronic signs.
Background
On June 4,2007 the City Council adopted Ordinance 2165 which established a l80-day
moratorium on the installation of animated and electronic signs within the City. The
moratorium will expire at the end of November and given the significance of allowing
such signs within the City, staff proposes to renew the moratorium for an additional 180-
days.
The City is in the process of updating the City's sign code. As part ofthe update, the
regulations for animated and electronic signs will be evaluated. Planning staff has
briefed Council on the proposed update and a joint meeting of the City Council and
Planning Commission was held on October 25,2007.
The matter was presented to Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) Committee on October
23, 2007. There was general consensus from CAP to allow the ordinance renewing the
moratorium to go directly to a Regular Meeting for possible adoption.
Next Step
A public hearing is scheduled for this evening's meeting. Staff recommends that the
public hearing be conducted and the ordinance, renewing the moratorium, be adopted as
presented by staff.

No presentations.
n. BUSINESS AGENDA: Item B was discussed first as Pam Carter arrived late.
A. Duwamish Gardens Acquisitions - Property Purchase
Ryan Larson reviewed the history and location of this site. Last week, we were informed that the
potential sale by another buyer had fallen through and that King County was ready to negotiate. King
County requested that the purchase and sale agreement be forwarded to CAP and Council as soon as
possible. Due to the negotiations, staff is not able to list the appraised value but would like
authorization to submit an offer up to 10% over the appraised value. Ryan also reported that there
appears to be enough grant funding for acquisition and construction and distributed a new CIP page to
update the 2008 Proposed ClP. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 5
REGULAR MEETING.
B. Renewal of Moratorium on Certain Types of Sign age
Jack Pace stated that the current moratorium on animated and electronic signs would expire at the end
% of November. Staff is asking that the moratorium be continued for an additional 180 days. Due to the
cancellation of the Nov. 13 COW, they are also requesting that the item be forwarded to Nov. 19.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 19 REGULAR MEETING.
C. Tukwila Pond Water Quality Feasibility Studv and Design Update
Rick Still gave a brief overview of the landscape design and then Sandra Whiting presented the
concepts for the proposed water quality improvements. The first item includes hydroponic islands,
which are floating islands with wetland vegetation that look natural and would provide shade and
phosphorous removal. The second item was laying aeration lines at the bottom of the pond for pumping
air and injecting alum flocculate to remove.the phosphorous, which feeds the algae. Sandra. did state
that if we dredge the pond, there is a strong possibility that we risk permanently draining the pond. The
third item is planting emergent reeds in the southwest comer of the pond. The final option includes
bringing clean water by diluting and flushing with clean tap water or river water. Pam C. asked about
using reclaimed water or a water feature that could aerate and improve oxygen levels. TetraTech, the
consultant, will give a presentation to Council by year-end. INFORMATION ONLY.

A. South King County Seattle Municinal Courts Language Assistance Plan
Staff reported of the $2 million dollar grant the state has set -aside for this program and that Tukwila
has spearheaded the grant application. Councilmember Hernandez complimented Trish Kinlow on the
efforts of this grant application and the very enlightening information that was provided in the agenda
packet. There was also discussion about the new electronic forms and how that would impact our
costs, as well as a possible need for special equipment. Ms. Kinlow stated she is working with the
City of Kent Municipal Court Administrator on a simple form that would be on a laptop located in the
court for patrons to use. The Committee complimented Ms. Kinlow on the very informative nature of
the presentation and wished her luck in the grant process. INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Interlocal Agreement for Jail Study
Rhonda Berry provided a brief background on this subject to the guests, and the new information that
the City of Auburn is considering joining the Interlocal agreement with Des Moines, Federal Way,
Renton and Tukwila. The Committee asked if that would lower Tukwila's funding amount for the
study, Ms. Berry stated she needed more time to discuss the study with the City of Auburn, and they
did not want to hold up the signing of the agreement. Once a decision has been made, an amendment
should be provided to the agreement adding the City of Auburn to Section 3 and Tukwila's share of
the total cost of the feasibility study should be less. Due to the length of the October 22 Council
meeting it was requested this item be added to an agenda in the near future to accommodate the
November 26 deadline. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FUTURE COW.
C. 2008 Prooertv Tax Levy Ordinance
Kevin Fuhrer provided background information and the calculations used to determine the 2008
property tax levy. The proposed levy amount is $11,400,000 and results in an anticipated levy rate of
$2.60 per $1,000 of valuation. Furthermore he reported that King County requires that the City
submit its levy request no later than November 30, 2007. A public hearing will be scheduled for
November 19, 2007. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER /22 COW.

2008 Budget Initiatives
City of Tukwila
City Council
Below you will find several budget initiatives that I would like to suggest for incorporation into the 2008
Mayor's Proposed Budget and CIP. As you will note, several of the initiatives are goal related but
would require budget expenditures and are therefore included as budget initiatives.
Citizen Complaint Tracking System. As part of the Council goals which will tie into a budget
initiative, I would like to see us implement an on -going tracking system for keeping track of
citizen complaints and concerns. Whether it is a system like "Civic Plus" or whether we
develop our own internal system, I think we need an on -going established process that allows
us refer to current and past issues to see that they have been followed up on or resolved.
Improved Functionality of E -mail System. The current Novell software program is very
cumbersome for us to use and not very efficient. I would like to see a more user friendly email
system for councilmembers to use in accessing their City email and communicating with one
another.
Permanent Neighborhood Resource Center. 1 would like one of the Council goals, which will
tie into a budget initiative to be "support efforts to locate a permanent City -owned
Neighborhood Resource Center in a visible location on the Tukwila Village site." When the City
owns so much property on TIB, I don't think it is cost effective to continue to rent space that we
don't own. If we become a "tenant" instead of an "owner" in a new location, we could be
subject to the same uncontrollable costs we incur now with a landlord raising our rent annually
and not taking care of the property properly.
Re- institute Bike Patrols. Since citizens at the TIB public meetings raised the issue, and it
was a successful tool previously, I would like to see the Police Department re- institute the
bicycle patrols on TIB.
Trail Bike Patrols. I see a need for the bicycle patrol to be expanded to the trail system as
well. Many bikes speed, don't give notice to pedestrians that they are passing on the left, and
don't dismount under bridges, creating safety issues for pedestrians. When I walk the trails in
Renton, I see Renton police on bicycle patrols which makes trail users feel safer and I would
like to see Tukwila reinstitute the use of bicycle patrols throughout the City.
Speed Limit Enforcement on Andover. An e -mail was recently sent to the City requesting
more police enforcement on Andover Park West. A pedestrian narrowly escaped injury when a
speeding car went off of Andover Park West and landed in the pedestrian walkway. I would
like to see a greater emphasis placed on enforcing the speed limit on both Andover Park East
and Andover Park West.
Fire Department Aid Car. I would like to see continued efforts made to restore the Fire
Department's Aid Car.

Supplemental Agreement No. 3 with Reid Middleton
City Project No. 03 -BG04, Contract No. 07 -087
ISSUE
Approve Supplemental Agreement No. 3 with Reid Middleton for Seismic Hazard Analysis
Services.
BACKGROUND
Reid Middleton was the only respondent to the Request For Qualifications and subsequently
entered in to City Contract No. 07 -087 for preliminary seismic hazard screening services
(Phase I) in the amount of $19,092.00. Reid Middleton began work on May 16, 2007 and
submitted the final seismic hazard screening report on September 21, 2007. Supplemental
Agreement No. 1 was for a 90 -day time extension, and Supplemental Agreement Number 2 in
the amount of $5,240 included a time extension for adding three City facilities to the Seismic
Hazard Screening Services Project (the Community Center, George Long Shops, and Minkler
Shops were not included in the original contract).
As recommended in the final report (Attached), the City facilities listed below will now be
evaluated in detail using the industry standard ASCE 31 Seismic Evaluation Procedure
described on page 2 -2 of the final report. The City asked Reid Middleton to submit a
supplemental agreement proposal with a scope and fee estimate to perform Tier 2 and Tier 3
seismic evaluations (Phase II). Tier 2 evaluations provide analyses more refined than Tier 1,
but are still limited to simplified linear procedures. Tier 3 evaluations are more detailed and
use advanced analytical procedures. The attached Supplemental Agreement No. 3 will
include, but not be limited to the following services:
Tier 2 evaluations for:
o Fire Station 53
Tier 3 evaluations for:
o City Hall
o 6300 Building
o Fire Station 51
o Fire Station 54

Subject: Seismic Hazards Screening Report
Review results of Seismic Hazards Screening Report
BACKGROUND
Reid Middleton was contracted to provide Seismic Hazard Screening and Reporting services,
using FEMA 154 (see section 1.2, page 1 -1) and ASCE 31 -03 (see section 2.0, page 2.1)
screening criteria for nine City buildings (Minkler Shops was separated into three separate
structures, see Table 1 -1). This initial screening and evaluation only looks at rough structural
details and does not include detailed structural analysis and seismic retrofit design and cost
estimating.
ANALYSIS
The screening and evaluation results from the FERIA. 154 criteria shown in Table 1 -1, are
based on a Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE), which has a 2 percent probability of
exceedance in 50 years. The Table 1 -1 structural scores are based on the probability of
collapse for the MCE. The lower the score, the higher the probability of collapse. The scores
range from 3.1 for City Hall down to 1.1 for the Community Center.
The ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 evaluation results are shown in section 2 of the report. The evaluation
results outline deficiencies and structural elements worth of additional evaluation and
analysis.
RECOMMENDATION
Facilities with a structural score of 2.5 or less receive an in -depth seismic evaluation (6300
Building, Fire Stations 51, 53 and 54, and the Community Center). Fire Station 53 and City
Hall will be further evaluated because of their criticality, and Fire Station 52, Minkler and
George Long Shops will be evaluated for replacement or seismic upgrade.

1.0 Rapid Visual Screening
1.1 Overview
Reid Middleton, Inc. performed rapid visual screenings on 11 buildings that the City of Tukwila
identified as critical to their operations. Rapid visual screening of buildings for potential seismic
hazards is often the first step of a multi -phase procedure for identifying seismically hazardous
buildings. The Rapid Visual Screening Procedure (RVSP) uses a methodology based on a
"sidewalk survey" of a building with a data collection form, which the inspector completes based
on visual observation of the building. Structural scores are assigned to each building. The scores
are tabulated to create a property inventory and ranking of buildings based on their relative
seismic hazard potential. The rapid visual screening evaluations are then used to determine which
facilities should be considered for further investigation. The RVSP is the first step in the
development of a seismic risk reduction program for buildings owned and occupied by the City of
Tukwila.
1.2 Criteria
This work was performed in accordance with Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential
Seismic Hazards (FEMA 154 and 155) published in 1988 and revised in 2002 by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This procedure is based on the Applied Technology
Council's ATC -21 project and is a nationally recognized and widely accepted methodology to
perform an initial seismic screening of buildings. The seismic hazard criteria in the second
edition of FEMA 154 are based on achieving the Collapse Prevention Performance Objective for
ground motions from what is commonly referred to as a Maximum Considered Earthquake
(MCE). An MCE has a 2 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years, corresponding to a
return interval of 2,475 years. A building performing at a collapse- prevention level in an MCE
would be expected to be severely and irreparably damaged but should not totally collapse.
1.3 Evaluation Procedure Overview
The FEMA 154 process is a preliminary seismic screening procedure based on visual
observations used to identify potentially hazardous buildings. Data collection forms, included in
the Appendices, assign structural scores to each building. Structural scores are based on building
type classifications and performance modification factors that qualitatively indicate the expected
seismic performance of the buildings. The structural scores are used to rank the buildings to
determine which buildings will Iikely provide an acceptable measure of life- safety protection and
which buildings may be seismically hazardous and may warrant further investigation.
The expected seismic risk that is determined by the RVSP is based on historical performance of
buildings with similar characteristics. The results should be considered preliminary and used
only as a guide to determine which buildings warrant further investigation. In some cases, such
an investigation may reveal elements of a structure that compensate for the deficits identified in
City of Tukwila Seismic Screening Evaluation 1 -1

the RVSP. Furthermore, since the RVSP is typically accomplished without exposing structural
elements and in some cases without entering the building, some indicators of high seismic risk
may not be apparent to the screener. As a result, some buildings may be more at risk than
indicated by the RVSP.
1.4 Evaluation Results
The following table summarizes the rapid visual screening structural scores and resulting relative
seismic safety rankings for the 11 City of Tukwila buildings evaluated. Higher structural scores
indicate better expected seismic performance.

FEMA 154 uses the structural scores to predict the probability of building collapse for the MCE;
the score is applied as an exponent to the number 10. For example, a building with a score of
2 would have a 1 in 100 chance of collapse, while a building with a score of 3 would have a 1 in
1,000 chance of collapse. Thus, the building with a RVSP score of 1 would be more hazardous
than a building with a score of 2. Note that the rapid visual screening scores (and, therefore, the
rankings) given do not explicitly account for a building's use or importance. For example, a fire
station that is staffed 24 hours a day with a RVSP score of 2.0 may pose greater risk than a lower
occupancy structure, such as covered parking, with a RVSP score of 1.5. Comparisons between
the MCE and recent earthquakes experienced in this area may be made based on information
provided in the Reconnaissance Report of the February 28, 2001 Nisqually Earthquake'. This
report estimates that the ground motions from the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake would be only one

third as strong as the ground motions felt from the MCE for a site adjacent to the City of
Tukwila. This indicates that many buildings that performed well during the Nisqually
Earthquake may not perform well during a design -level event.
1.5 Conclusions and Recommendations
Table 1 -1 shows the RVSP seismic hazard structural scores for the 11 City of Tukwila buildings
that have been evaluated. For typical buildings, FEMA 154 recommends a cut -off score of 2.0
be utilized as the RVSP score where buildings that score below this value be investigated more
thoroughly. However, the FEMA guidelines also suggest that higher cut off scores may be more
appropriate for determining if further seismic evaluations are warranted for essential facilities
and critical infrastructure.
We recommend that a RVSP structural score of 2.5 be used as the cut off for this evaluation.
Buildings with a structural score of 2.5 or less should be analyzed in greater detail, since they
may be vulnerable to collapse as a result of an earthquake having severe ground motions. In
addition, because Tukwila City Hall and Fire Station 53 are essential facilities that provide first
response capabilities for the City's police and fire personnel, more detailed seismic evaluation of
these facilities is recommended.

2.0 ASCE 31 -03 Tier I Evaluations
Preliminary seismic evaluations were performed for 11 buildings owned by the City of Tukwila.
The evaluations reviewed the expected seismic performance of each building to identify potential
structural deficiencies that may affect the building's functionality after an earthquake. The
following 11 buildings were evaluated in more detail compared to the RVSP described in the
previous section:
Tukwila City Hall
6300 Building
Fire Stations 51, 52, 53, and 54
Minkler Shops (3 Total Buildings)
George Long Shop
Tukwila Community Center
The preliminary seismic evaluations do not consider compliance of the subject buildings with the
seismic requirements of the current building code for new construction. Buildings designed prior
to the current or previous building codes often include structural configurations and detailing that
do not comply with current code requirements. Buildings designed to older building code
standards are typically evaluated using evaluation and design guidelines specifically developed
for existing structures by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FLMA) and the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The latest edition of the building code includes
these documents as reference standards for the evaluation of existing buildings.
Findings and recommendations presented herein are primarily based on a review of record
drawings provided by the City of Tukwila and on visual observations of the buildings. The
available record documents do not contain some information that is needed to confirm the
structural configuration of some portions of the buildings. This is typical of record
documentation for older buildings.
Reid Middleton participated in a walk- through of each of the buildings noted above. Limited
visual observations of existing conditions were performed during the walk- through. No testing
or field verification efforts were performed to confirm or supplement information shown in the
record drawings. Future, detailed evaluations should include material testing and additional field
verification as appropriate to better understand the existing structural condition and configuration
of each building.
The current standard for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings is the ASCE
Standard 31 -03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings (ASCE 31). ASCE 31 is a screening
and evaluation document used to identify potential seismic deficiencies that may require
additional seismic evaluation or hazard mitigation. The document presents a three tiered review
process implemented by following a series of comprehensive checklists and "quick check"
calculations. Each tier is designed to perform an increasingly refined evaluation procedure for
seismic deficiencies identified in previous tiers in the process.

Tier 1 checklists screen for potential seismic deficiencies by examining the lateral systems and
details of the structure in comparison with configurations that have historically caused poor
seismic performance in similar buildings. Tier 1 includes basic analyses for primary components
of the lateral system such as columns, frames, and beams. Tier 2 provides more detailed
evaluations for deficiencies identified in the Tier 1 review. Tier 3 involves more detailed
analysis and review of the demand and capacity of each building component.
This report contains the findings from ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 evaluations of the 11 City of Tukwila
buildings identified above. Because many of these buildings provide first- response capabilities
and important post- disaster recovery functions for the City of Tukwila, they were evaluated to
Immediate Occupancy Performance levels. Buildings that meet Immediate Occupancy
Performance are expected to be structurally functional after an earthquake.

2.1.1 Building Description, Tukwila City Hall
Tukwila City Hall is a 32,800 square foot building that has a distinctive saw -tooth plan shape on
the south elevation of the structure. The building's vertical structural system consists of plywood
floor sheathing supported by wood trusses, wood beams, wood posts, concrete columns, and
concrete bearing walls supported by spread and strip foundations. The lateral force resisting
system (LFRS) consists of wood diaphragms supported by wood and concrete shear walls.

Floor Area: 32,800 SF
2.1.2 Evaluation Results, Tukwila City Hall
The primary deficiency identified in Tukwila City Hall is related to the building's limited lateral
support and structural irregularity in the upper floor. The building has wood shear walls that are
perpendicular to the building's south facing windows at many locations. These walls are not
continuous to the building's foundation and are not typically in Iine with the lateral framing
elements below. There also appears to be in sufficient amounts lateral framing in the upper
floor's east -west direction. Because of these load path discontinuities, the building appears to
have Iimited ability to transfer lateral loads to the base of the structure form its upper floors.
This likely will result in poor performance during a seismic event. Additional deficiencies are
identified in the completed ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix B.
This building does not currently meet the Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective.
2.1.3 Recommendations, Tukwila City Hall
Because of the discontinuities identified in the building's LFRS, and other deficiencies noted in
the Tier 1 checklists, we recommend that a more detailed ASCE 31 -03 Tier 3 evaluation of
Tukwila City Hall be conducted.

2.2 6300 Building
2.2.1 Building Description, 6300 Building
The 6300 Building is a three story, 33,600 square foot building that was constructed on the side
of a slope. The gravity system consists of plywood floor sheathing supported by open web steel
joists, wood beams, wood posts, steel columns, and concrete bearing walls supported by shallow
spread and strip concrete foundations. The LFRS for the 6300 Building consists primarily of
wood diaphragms with concrete shear walls. In addition to the primary framing systems
mentioned above, the building has wood shear walls, steel moment frames, concrete moment
frames, and elevated precast concrete slabs in some locations. A variety of structural systems
and material types, in conjunction with three partial- basement sides of the building that act as
retaining walls, add to the buildings complexity.

Floor Area: 33,600 SF
2.2.2 Evaluation Results, 6300 Building
The primary deficiency identified in the 6300 Building is the significant number of structural
irregularities throughout the building. Based on the record drawings available, the upper stories
have a minimal amount of lateral framing in the building's longitudinal direction. This may
result in poor structural performance during a seismic event. In addition, a number of the
building's concrete shear walls are tall and slender, with aspect ratios greater than 4:1. These
walls do not have adequately confined boundary zones, which may result in undesirable non
ductile performance of these walls under seismic loading. An additional concern is the
diaphragm to wall connections. These connections are needed to stabilize the concrete shear
walls for out -of -plane lateral forces but appear inadequate. Failure of these connections could
lead to separation of the walls from the floors and partial collapse of the roof and floor structures
during a seismic event. This connection deficiency also limits the diaphragm's ability to transfer
lateral loads into the concrete shear walls. Additional deficiencies are identified in the complete
ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix B.
This building does not currently meet the Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective.

2.3.2 Evaluation Results, Fire Station 51
Several notable deficiencies were identified in Fire Station 51. The structure has limited lateral
resistance of the high roof structure located above the crew quarters. The concrete shear walls
located on the east side of the crew quarters are not continuous to the foundation. Because these
walls are not continuous to the building's foundations, they may not provide adequate lateral
resistance and could cause damage to their supporting structural elements during a seismic event.
Furthermore, the diaphragm to wall connections that are needed to provide out -of -plane lateral
stability for the precast concrete shear walls do not appear to have adequate capacity. Rupture of
these connections could lead to separation of the floors from the walls and partial or total
collapse of the roof and floor structures during an earthquake. This deficiency is primarily a
concern in the areas over the apparatus bay.
tember 2007
-Reid Tt idtetaii
Additional deficiencies were noted at the wall panel to panel connections and at the foundation
to wall panel connections. These deficiencies could lead to the panels acting independently,
rather than acting together as a unit as is desired. This independent action can lead to excessive
stress in the individual panels, causing wall failures. Another seismic issue is the slenderness of
the wall piers between the apparatus bay doors. Because these piers have high aspect ratios,
special reinforcing detailing is required to resist seismic forces. This detailing was not
incorporated into the original design due to the age of construction; additional more in depth
evaluation is required to determine the seismic adequacy of these elements. Additional
deficiencies are identified in the complete ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix B.
This building does not currently meet the Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective.
2.3.3 Recommendations, Fire Station 51
Because of the discontinuities in the buildings' LFRS, the identified panel connection

Deficiencies identified in Fire Station 52 pertain to the building's LFRS connections. Of
primary concern is the roof diaphragm to wall connections. These connections are needed to
provide out -of -plane lateral stability for the precast concrete shear walls. Rupture of these
connections could lead to separation of the roof from the walls and partial or total collapse of the
roof structures during an earthquake. This connection deficiency also limits the roofs
diaphragm ability to transfer lateral loads into the concrete shear walls. Additional deficiencies
were noted at the panel -to -panel connections and the foundation to wall panel connections.
These deficiencies could Iead to the panels acting independently, rather than acting in a more
desirable composite fashion. This independent action can lead to excessive stress in the
individual panels causing wall failures. Another deficiency is the slenderness of the wall piers
between the apparatus bay doors. Because these piers have large aspect ratios, special
reinforcing detailing is required to resist seismic forces. This detailing was not incorporated into
the original design due to the age of construction; additional more in depth evaluation is required
to determine the seismic adequacy of these elements. Additional deficiencies are identified in

during the Tier 1 screening process, however, as a result of details missing from the original
design drawings. See the ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix B for additional
information.
2.5.3 Recommendations, Fire Station 53
Because the building is close to meeting the chosen performance objective, we recommend

2.6.2 Evaluation Results, Fire Station 54
Deficiencies identified at Fire Station 54 pertain to the masonry walls and the walls' connections
to the roof diaphragm. Because limited information is available in the record drawings
pertaining to either of these items, they are assumed to be non compliant based on the age of the
building. Significantly less reinforcing was typically used in CMU walls of Station 54's era than
would be required today. Inadequate wall reinforcing can result in non ductile behavior and wall
failure. The walls also are over stressed based on the quick check procedure meaning that they
may experience shear failures during an earthquake. Inadequate diaphragm to wall connections
were also typical of Station 54's era, and may result in out -of -plane wall failures. Inadequate
connections also limit the ability of the diaphragm to transfer forces into the shear walls.
Additional deficiencies are identified in the complete ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix

Limited record drawings are available for the George Long Shop. No original construction
drawings are available; partial information was provided by drawings created for subsequent
remodeling and alterations. Based on the information that is available and observations from our
building walk- though, the building is a pre- manufactured metal building. Typically, these
buildings resist lateral loads with steel moment frames in one direction with steel tension bracing
in the other. During the building walk- through no steel bracing was observed. The apparent lack
of steel bracing is the primary concern for this building. It is possible that the exterior walls may
act as metal panel shear walls in that direction, reducing the need for bracing. However, the
amount of wall is very limited on the side of the building with the large vehicle access doors and
bracing may still be required. Additional deficiencies are identified in the complete ASCE 31 -03
Tier 1 Checklist in Appendix B.
This building does not currently meet the Immediate Occupancy Performance Objective.
2.10.3 Recommendations, George Long Shops
Because the George Long Shop Building is a pre- manufactured metal building, we do not
believe that it is economically feasible to retrofit the building to meet an Immediate Occupancy
Performance Objective. As a result, additional evaluation based on a reduced performance
objective may be warranted.

Deficiencies identified for the areas outside of the gymnasium and entry hall pertain to the
building's wood shear walls. Some of the walls are potentially overstressed and lack adequate
hold -down anchorage. Hold -down anchorages are intended to prevent the walls from
overturning under seismic loads. These deficiencies may result in poor performance during a
seismic event.
Deficiency identified in the gymnasium portion of the building is that the masonry shear walls
are over stressed for seismic shear loads. This may result in degradation and potential failure of
the wall during a seismic event. Additionally, the roof diaphragm to masonry wall connections
were found to be inadequate. These connections are needed to provide out -of -plain lateral
stability for the masonry shear walls. rupture of these connections could lead to separation of the

3.0 Conclusions
ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 structural evaluations were performed for 11 buildings owned by the City of
Tukwila. A walk through of the structures was performed in conjunction with these evaluations.
Based on deficiencies noted in our Tier 1 evaluations and based on the complexity of the
building structures, we recommend that additional, detailed investigations and analyses be
performed for the followings structures:
Tukwila City Hall
6300 Building
Fire Stations 51, 53, and 54
George Long Shop
Tukwila Community Center
Additional analyses and investigations of these structures may lead to recommendations for
upgrades.
Based on deficiencies noted and the straight forward nature of the potential upgrades, we
recommend upgrades be performed for the following structures:
Fire Stations 52
Minkler Shops (3 Total Buildings)
Most of the recommended improvements to these structures consist of added or improved
connections between walls and the roofs and floors of these structures.

Scope of Services
A. Project Understanding
This work is a continuation of the Phase I preliminary seismic screening and evaluations of City
of Tukwila (the City) facilities. Based on the fmdings and recommendations contained in the
final report from the preliminary seismic hazard screenings and evaluations, dated September 21,
2007. The City decided to progress with Phase II detailed seismic evaluations of the following
buildings; City Hall, 6300 Building, Fire Stations 51, 53 and 54 and Tukwila Community Center.
In addition to the seismic safety for these buildings, this work will also provide the City with
preliminary structural concept retrofit designs, an assessment on how functionally useful the
buildings are, preliminary geotechnical infoiivation, and preliminary costs for retrofitting the
buildings and replacing the buildings. The purpose of this of this study is to provide the City
with enough information to determine if the buildings should be renovated or replaced.
B. Scope of Services
Reid Middleton will provide the following services:
1. Conduct site visits to each of the buildings listed in Item 2 and Item 3 in order to gather
additional infoiniation required for the seismic evaluations. The City will coordinate
access to each of the sites with the building occupants.
2. Perfoini an ASCE 31 -03 Tier 2 deficiency -based structural evaluation of the building
listed below based on the findings from the ASCE 31 -03 Tier 1 evaluation. As part of the
Tier 2 evaluation, efforts will be made to obtain a complete set of the buildings record
drawings.

rehabilitation strategies and design concepts for the buildings listed in Item 3.
Rehabilitation alternatives will be evaluated for Immediate Occupancy structural
performance under the 10 %/50 -year seismic event using ASCE 41 -06 criteria.
S. Provide preliminary opinion of probable costs for the concept -level retrofit designs
provided in Item 4. The preliminary opinion of probable costs will be given in a cost per
square foot foirnat and with a range of values. This infoiniation will be used to help
determine the feasibility of retrofitting the buildings versus constructing new buildings.
6. Architectural Services
a. Capital Facilities Assessment
Document the age, condition, and functionality of the buildings in Item 3.
Services would include:
(1) Tour these existing facilities. Perfoini a visual inspection and document
significant property features, conditions, constraints, and/or
encumbrances.
(2) Review documented property information and previous construction plans
provided by the City of Tukwila.
(3) Together with City staff and division heads, identify the functional and
operational inefficiencies at each building. This could include
inadequacies of the particular room or space, obsolescence, lack of
specialized equipment, inefficient circulation, and/or the like.
b Building and Site Diagrams
Provide preliminary building and site diagrams to confiiin if the existing
buildings can adequately support any projected building additions and/or
replacement plans. Also known as "test -to -fit" diagrams, this exercise would
inform the City of potential inadequacies in meeting the identified operational
requirements. This could assist the City of Tukwila in their decision to renovate
or replace any one or more of these particular buildings.
c. Capital Facility Financial Models
Assist in estimating the project soft costs (i.e. sales tax, A &E fees, permits,
special consultants, land acquisition, furnishings, equipment reasonable
contingencies, and the like). Overall project timelines would be incorporated into
the cost modeling to capture the cost of inflation over time.
d. Stakeholder Presentations
Assist with presenting the final capital facility recommendations to individual
stakeholder groups. These services could include preparation of graphic materials
(large foiinat renderings, PowerPoint presentation, handouts, narratives, and the
like).
7. Provide preliminary geotechnical recommendations for the sites listed in Items 2 and 3
and the sites listed below. These recommendations will be based on the geotechnical
engineer's knowledge of the local geologic hazards and features. No site borings will be
conducted. This infolivation will be used to help determine the feasibility of retrofitting
the buildings versus constructing new buildings.

C. Seismic Hazard Screening Report
Staff reviewed preliminary seismic screening results for a total of 11 City facilities as conducted
by Reid Middleton. This initial screening process only accessed the rough structural details of
each facility and does not include detailed structural analysis, seismic retrofit designs or relative
cost estimates.
This initial screening allowed each building to be assessed a structural score to predict the
probability of that building collapsing for a Maximum Considered Earthquake. The score is
applied as an exponent to the number 10 (i.e.: a building with a score of 2 would have a 1 in 100
chance of collapse, a score of 3 would have a 1 in 1,000 chance of collapse, etc.). This initial
screening process does not account for a building's use or importance.
These evaluation results have triggered a staff recommendation to move forward with conducting
the next step of in -depth seismic evaluation for all buildings that have a structural score of 2.5 or
less. Additionally, due to the critical use associated with City Hall and Fire Station 53, staff
recommends the in -depth assessment of these buildings regardless their structural scores (both
are rated higher than 2.5). DISCUSSION/INFORNIATIONAL ONLY.
D. Seismic Hazard Analysis Consultant Agreement Supplemental Agreement No. 3
Based on the information presented in the prior agenda item, staff is requesting full Council
approval to enter into Supplemental Agreement No. 3 with Reid Middleton for Seismic Hazard
Analysis Services in the amount of $208,414.
This next step in the analysis will look at soil assessment, structural features and detailed
identification of appropriate changes to bring assessed buildings up to seismic code requirements.
The analysis will also identify the cost effectiveness of making building upgrades versus building
replacement, as well as prioritizing buildings as far as needing repair /replacement. Staff
commented that this project is funded through the 303 Fund. UNANEVIOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 19 REGULAR.
E. Contract Renewal for 2008 Kenyon Law Firm
Staff explained that this contract is practically the same as years past with the exception of
increases in hourly rates and staffmg changes for attorneys. A majority of associate attorneys left
the film due to a mass hiring of attorneys by the City of Seattle.
Dennis requested the inclusion of a chart in the full Council agenda packet that outlines the funds
the City expects to spend for legal services this year and in 2008. Staff commented that although
day to day services have a tendency to be consistent, this number can be difficult to predict due to
the variance of special matters.

ISSUE
Award the S. 129th Street Drainage Modification Contract to Brike Excavating and Underground Utilities
LLC, of Renton, Washington.
BACKGROUND
A property owner recently notified the City that a drainage swale had been placed on his property without his
approval and he would like it removed. City staff investigated his claim and determined that the swale was
installed on private property as part of the City's 1999 Small Drainage Project. The swale was to be placed on
the adjacent City owned parcel to the south but was designed and constructed using the wrong parcel.
ACTION TAKEN
KPG was contacted to design a new drainage system to allow for the removal of the swale from private
property. The design calls for piping the drainage across S. 129th Street and construction of an infiltration
system within the Codiga Farms site and adjacent to the roadway. No piped drainage outfalls to the river exist
in the area so infiltration is the only available option to dispose of the roadway runoff.
The Small Works Roster was consulted and letters were sent to six firms that were qualified for this type of
work requesting bids. Three bids were received with Brike Excavating as the low bidder. The bid results are
as follows: Brike Excavating $37,697.91, Pivetta Brothers $49,253.00 and Dennis R. Craig $49,769.00.
Brike Excavating has completed several projects for the City and has performed quality work.

found in "Administrative Requirements for Ecology Grants and Loans", part IV, published by the
DEPARTMENT. A copy of this document shall be furnished to the RECIPIENT. When payment requests

7. Overhead Costs. No reimbursement for overhead costs shall be allowed unless provided
for in the Scope of Work hereunder. .
K. TERMINATION
1. For Cause. The obligation of the DEPARTMENT to the RECIPIENT is contingent upon
satisfactory performance by the RECIPIENT of all of its obligations under this agreement. In the event
the RECIPIENT unjustifiably fails, in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT, to perform any obligation required
of it by this agreement, the DEPARTMENT may refuse to pay any further funds thereunder and/or
terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination.
A written notice of termination shall be given at least five working days prior to the
effective date of termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data studies, surveys,
drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other materials prepared by the RECIPIENT under
this agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, shall become Department property and the
RECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work
completed on such documents and other materials.
Despite the above, the RECIPIENT shall not be relieved of any liability to the
DEPARTMENT for damages sustained by the DEPARTMENT and/or the State of Washington because of
any breach of agreement by the RECIPIENT. The DEPARTMENT may withhold payments for the
purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the DEPARTMENT from the
RECIPIENT is determined.
2. Insufficient Funds. The obligation of the DEPARTMENT to make payments is contingent
on the availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state allotment. When
this agreement crosses over state fiscal years the obligation of the DEPARTMENT is contingent upon the
appropriation of funds during the next fiscal year. The failure to appropriate or allot such funds shall be
good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1 above.
When this agreement crosses the RECIPIENT's fiscal year, the obligation of the
RECIPIENT to continue or complete the project described herein shall be contingent upon appropriation
of funds by the RECIPIENT's governing body; Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall
preclude the DEPARTMENT from demanding repayment of ALL funds paid to the RECIPIENT in
accordance with Section 0 herein.
3. Failure to Commence Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails to commence work on the
project funded herein within four months after the effective date of this agreement, or by any date
mutually agreed upon in writing for commencement of work, the DEPARTMENT reserves the right to
terminate this agreement.
L. WAIVER
Waiver of any RECIPIENT default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. Waiver of a breach
of any provision of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent breach and will not be construed as
a modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated as such in writing by the authorized
representative of the DEPARTMENT.
3
M. PROPERTY RIGHTS
1. Copyrights and Patents. When the RECIPIENT creates any copyrightable materials or
invents any patentable property, the RECIPIENT may copyright or patent the same but the
DEPARTMENT retains a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, recover
or otherwise use the material(s) or property and to authorize others to use the same for federal, state or
local government purposes.
Where federal funding is involved, the federal government may have a proprietary
interest in patent rights to any inventions that are developed by the RECIPIENT as provided in 35 U.S.C.
200-212.
2. Publications. When the RECIPIENT or persons employed by the RECIPIENT use or
publish information of the DEPARTMENT; present papers, lectures, or seminars involving information
supplied by the DEPARTMENT; use logos, reports, maps or other data, in printed reports, signs,
brochures, pamphlets, etc., appropriate credit shall be given to the DEPARTMENT.
3. Tangible Property Rights. The DEPARTMENTs current edition of "Administrative
Requirements for Ecology Grants and Loans", Part V, shall control the use and disposition of all real and
personal property purchased wholly or in part with funds furnished by the DEPARTMENT in the absence
of state, federal statute(s), regulation(s), or policy(s) to the contrary or upon specific instructions with
respect thereto in the Scope of Work.
4. Personal Property Furnished by the DEPARTMENT. When the DEPARTMENT provides
personal property directly to the RECIPIENT for use in performance of the project, it shall be returned to
the DEPARTMENT prior to final payment by the DEPARTMENT. If said property is lost, stolen or
damaged while in the RECIPIENTs possession, the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed in cash or by
setoff by the RECIPIENT for the fair market value of such property.
5. Acquisition Projects. The following provisions shall apply if the project covered by this
agreement includes funds for the acquisition of land or facilities:
a. Prior to disbursement of funds provided for in this agreement, the RECIPIENT
shall establish that the cost of land/or facilities is fair and reasonable.
b. The RECIPIENT shall provide satisfactory evidence of title or ability to acquire
title for each parcel prior to disbursement of funds provided by this agreement. Such evidence may
include title insurance policies, Torrens certificates, or abstracts, and attorney's opinions establishing that
the land is freeJrom any impediment, lien, or claim which would impair the uses contemplated by this
agreement.
6. Conversions. Regardless of the contract termination date shown on the cover sheet, the
RECIPIENT shall not at any time convert any equipment, property or facility acquired or developed
pursuant to this agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally approved without
prior written approval of the DEPARTMENT. Such approval may be conditioned upon payment to the
DEPARTMENT of that portion of the proceeds of the sale, lease or other conversion or encumbrance
which monies granted pursuant to this agreement bear to the total acquisition, purchase or construction
costs of such property.
N. SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
In order to sustain Washington's natural resources and ecosystems, the RECIPIENT is
encouraged to implement sustainable practices where and when possible. These practices include use
of clean energy, and purchase and use of sustainably produced products (e.g. recycled paper). For more
information, see www.ecy.wa.gov/sustainability..
O. RECOVERY OF PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENT
The right of the RECIPIENT to retain monies paid to it as reimbursement payments is contingent
upon satisfactory performance of this agreement including the satisfactory completion of the project
described in the Scope of Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails, for any reason, to perform obligations
required of it by this agreement, the RECIPIENT may, at the DEPARTMENTs sole discretion, be required
to repay to the DEPARTMENT all granUloan funds disbursed to the RECIPIENT for those parts of the
project that are rendere~ worthless in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT by such failure to perform.
4
Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year from the time the
DEPARTMENT demands repayment of funds. If payments have been discontinued by the
DEPARTMENT due to insufficient funds as in Section K.2 above, the RECIPIENT shall not be obligated
to repay monies which had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination. Any property acquired
under this agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, may become the DEPARTMENTS property
and the RECIPIENT'S liability to repay monies shall be reduced by an amount reflecting the fair value of
such property.
P. PROJECT APPROVAL
The extent and character of all work and services to be performed under this agreement by the
RECIPIENT shall be subject to the review and approval of the DEPARTMENT through the Project Officer
or other designated official to whom the RECIPIENT shall report and be responsible. In the event there is
a dispute with regard to the extent and character of the work to be done, the determination of the Project
Officer or other designated official as to the extent and character of the work to be done shall govern.
The RECIPIENT shall have the right to appeal decisions as provided for below.
Q. DISPUTES
Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising
under this agreement which is not disposed of in writing shall be decided by the Project Officer or other
designated official who shall provide a written statement of decision to the RECIPIENT. The decision of
the Project Officer or other designated official shall be final and conclusive unless, within thirty days from
the date of receipt of such statement, the RECIPIENT mails or otherwise furnishes to the Director of the
DEPARTMENT a written appeal.
In connection with appeal of any proceeding under this clause, the RECIPIENT shall have the
opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of this appeal. The decision of the Director or
duly authorized representative for the determination of such appeals shall be final and conclusive.
Appeals from the Director's determination shall be brought in the Superior Court of Thurston County.
Review of the decision of the Director will not be sought before either the Pollution Control Hearings
Board or the Shoreline Hearings Board. Pending final decision of dispute hereunder, the RECIPIENT
shall proceed diligently with the performance of this agreement and in accordance with the decision
rendered.
R. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
No officer, member, agent, or employee of either party to this agreement who exercises any
function or responsibility in the review, approval, or carrying out of this agreement, shall participate in any
decision which affects his/her personal interest or the interest of any corporation, partnership or
association in which he/she is, directly or indirectly interested; nor shall he/she have any personal or
pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in this agreement or the proceeds thereof.

consultant's fees, and other costs related to the project described herein, except as provided in the Scope
of Work.

C. Seismic Hazard Screening Report
Staff reviewed preliminary seismic screening results for a total of 11 City facilities as conducted
by Reid Middleton. This initial screening process only accessed the rough structural details of
each facility and does not include detailed structural analysis, seismic retrofit designs or relative
cost estimates.
This initial screening allowed each building to be assessed a structural score to predict the
probability of that building collapsing for a Maximum Considered Earthquake. The score is
applied as an exponent to the number 10 (i.e.: a building with a score of 2 would have a 1 in 100
chance of collapse, a score of 3 would have a 1 in 1,000 chance of collapse, etc.). This initial
screening process does not account for a building's use or importance.
These evaluation results have triggered a staff recommendation to move forward with conducting
the next step of in -depth seismic evaluation for all buildings that have a structural score of 2.5 or
Less. Additionally, due to the critical use associated with City Hall and Fire Station 53, staff
recommends the in -depth assessment of these buildings regardless their structural scores (both
are rated higher than 2.5). DISCUSSION/INFORMATIONAL ONLY.
D. Seismic Hazard Analysis Consultant Agreement Supplemental Agreement No. 3
Based on the information presented in the prior agenda item, staff is requesting full Council
approval to enter into Supplemental Agreement No. 3 with Reid Middleton for Seismic Hazard
Analysis Services in the amount of $208,414.
This next step in the analysis will look at soil assessment, structural features and detailed
identification of appropriate changes to bring assessed buildings up to seismic code requirements.
The analysis will also identify the cost effectiveness of making building upgrades versus building
replacement, as well as prioritizing buildings as far as needing repair /replacement. Staff
commented that this project is funded through the 303 Fund. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 19 REGULAR.
E. Contract Renewal for 2008 Kenvon Law Firm
Staff explained that this contract is practically the same as years past with the exception of
increases in hourly rates and staffing changes for attorneys. A majority of associate attorneys left
the firm due to a mass hiring of attorneys by the City of Seattle.
Dennis requested the inclusion of a chart in the full Council agenda packet that outlines the funds
the City expects to spend for legal services this year and in 2008. Staff commented that although
day to day services have a tendency to be consistent, this number can be difficult to predict due to
the variance of special matters.
