I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Grant Acceptance: Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
Staff is seeking Council approval to accept three grant awards relating to Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) programs. A revised informational memo was distributed to the Committee to
correct the funding level of grant no. 2.
1. $186,334.64 in Federal funds administered by Washington State Department of
Transportation ( WSDOT) for trip reduction efforts in Tukwila's regional growth center.
2. $270,000.00 in Federal funds administered by WSDOT for expansion of trip reduction efforts
in South King County.
3. $74,500 funding renewal for the current TDM allocation for the 2015 -2017 biennium.
The first two grants are part of WSDOT's effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by awarding
Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) grants for projects in urban
growth centers and corridors. The projects propose to enhance and expand trip reduction strategies
such as online tools, trainings and incentives. Funding from the grants will completely cover costs for
one position along with marketing and material expenses. The third grant is a renewal of WSDOT
funds for the existing CTR program in the City, in place since 1991. No matching funds are required
for any of the grants.
The Committee asked clarifying questions and felt that a program overview would be helpful to the
full Council prior to considering the grant awards. NO DECISION. FORWARD TO JUNE 8, 2015
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Supplemental Agreement: 2015 Overlay and Repair Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 1 in the amount of $172,658.89
with KPG, Inc. for construction management services for the 2015 Overlay and Repair Program. The
base contract No. 14 -157 was for design services for this project. KPG was selected from a pool of
three firms for their expertise and experience in Tukwila. The bid for construction is scheduled to be
opened on June 3, 2015 and the results will be presented at the next Transportation Committee
meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 15, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT

C. Supplemental Agreement: Interurban Avenue South (South 1431d Street to Fort Dent Way)
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No 1 with Anchor QEA in the amount
of $463,928.00 for continued construction management services for the Interurban Avenue South
(South 143 Street to Fort Dent Way) Project. Construction on this project has been underway since
July 2014 and significant delays have occurred due to geotechnical information regarding two major
project features: the retaining wall near Fort Dent Way and the stormwater detention vault near South
1491h Street. The original completion date of October 14, 2015 will likely need to be extended to near
the year's end. This supplement would cover the cost of construction management services by Anchor
through the end of 2015 and brings the project total to $10,499,201.39. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JUNE 15, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
D. Resolution: Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (2016 -2021)
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt the annual update of the Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for 2016 -2021. The TIP, updated annually as required
by the RCW, is a compilation of transportation projects planned within the next six years that are
deemed regionally significant or that have grant funding awarded or expected. Projects must be
included in the TIP to be eligible for certain grant funding. Committee members and staff reviewed
the list of projects. Several projects were deleted from the 2016 TIP due to their completion or
because they are no longer deemed necessary-The Committee requested that staff include a table
of projects that includes a brief description and reason for omission, if applicable, in the information
that is provided to the Committee of the Whole. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 8,
2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, INCLUDING PUBLIC HEARING.
E. Supplemental Agreement: Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Contract No. 13 -199 in the
amount of $33,962.66 with AECOM Technical Services for the TUC Transit Center, Andover Park
West Street, and Water Improvement Projects. The TUC Transit Center project was completed on
April 3, 2015 and included a substantial number of unexpected utility conflicts, design changes, and
delays. This supplement will allow AECOM to finalize the project close -out. There is sufficient
balance in the project's budget contingency balance to cover this cost. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JUNE 15, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
