Third Party Utility Coordination Agreements
ISSUE
Third party utility Coordination Agreements with Comcast for the TIB Phase II III Street
Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND
The TIB Phase II III Street Improvement Project requires the coordination with several third
party utilities that will require relocation of overhead facilities within the project boundary.
Qwest and Seattle City Light will not underground their overhead lines. The existing poles will
be relocated.
We were able to reach agreements with Comcast and Comcast/LNS to underground their
facilities. The two separate agreements with these parties reflect the different organizations
within the Comcast umbrella. Comcast provides cable TV services while Comcast/LNS
represents the AT &T Local Network Services fiber optic infrastructure, which was bought by
Comcast several years ago.
ANALYSIS
The City will incorporate the Comcast and Comcast/LNS underground infrastructure into the
construction contract and have the remaining relocation work perfonned by Utility personnel
after the support infrastructure is in place (i.e.; pulling in new communication cables and
removing existing overhead lines).
The Coordination Agreements spell out the time limit for utility relocation and the cost
distribution based on a firm price and scope of work determined by the City. Any work outside
that scope is considered extra and will be reimbursed by Comcast with additional payment.
As we already have a standard relocation clause referenced from the Franchise Agreement with
Seattle City Light (SCL), a separate coordination agreement for their work will not be necessary.
SCL's current plan is to remove most of the poles in the project boundary to allow construction
to proceed unhindered. Existing customers will be fed by alternate routes where necessary.
Once our project is complete, SCL may choose to reestablish existing power lines outside of our
roadway improvement area if they feel the economic justification is adequate.
P\PROIECTS\A- RV/ RS Projects\5RW03 TIB2\Info Memo TIB Ph2&3 09 -18 -08 -Coord Ags Comcast.doc
Since Qwest does not maintain a utility franchise with the City and they are unwilling to enter
into a project specific Coordination Agreement, we are constrained in our coordination efforts by
a state utility grant. We will notify Qwest of the requirement to relocate their facilities as
allowed by law and expect Qwest to comply. If they do not relocate in time to avoid conflict
with our construction, we will track the impact to our project and invoice Qwest any additional
costs.
RE CO+_l'III�IENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign Coordination Agreements with Comcast. These costs are directly
reimbursable by Comcast and are not included in the project budget.
Comcast Firm Price is $27,858
Comcast/LNS Firm Price is $16,801

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center Supplemental Agreement #4 Phase I Design
Staff is seeking full Council approval of Supplemental Agreement #4 in the amount of $153,754 with IBI
Group for additional design work on the Tukwila Transit Center Project.
Supplemental Agreement #4 will support the development of design documents for the Transit Center
providing design documentation and preliminary costs as well as environmental and geotechnical
information that will allow for future design phases of the project. The IBI Group will complete
approximately 30% design of the improved and expanded Transit Center in its existing location on the
Westfield Southcenter Mall property. The funding for the remaining design is budgeted in 2009.
UNANTMIOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Andover Park West (Tukwila Pkwy to Strander Blvd) Supplemental Agreement #5 Desien Report Update
Staff is seeking full Council approval of Supplemental Agreement #5 in the amount of 5165,755 with IBI
Group for an updated design report for Andover Park West street improvements.
Due to overlapping design needs and the proximity of the Transit Center to the Andover Park West
improvements, this project is closely related to the Transit Center item discussed above. The IBI Group will
update the design report originally provided for improvements of Andover Park West in November 1991.
The update will clarify the final design for the road project and will consolidate duplicate engineering
efforts from the Transit Center into a single engineering team providing for project efficiency. Consolidation
of this work with parallel work required in the above agenda item will potentially reduce fees by $30,000.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Tukwila International Boulevard Phase II III Third Party Utility Coordination Agreements
Staff is seeking full Council approval for the Mayor to enter into two third party utility Coordination
Agreements with Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC for Phases II and III of the TM Street
i Improvement Project.
These two agreements are for two separate services that Comcast provides; one is for cable TV services and
the other is for fiber optic infrastructure. The agreements call for utility relocation including time limits and
cost distribution. Costs associated with the relocation are directly reimbursable by Comcast and are not part
of the project budget.
Transportation Committee Minutes September 23, 2008 Pace 2
At the August 12, 2008, Transportation Committee meeting, staff discussed some of the project challenges
involving utility coordination and relocation. In response to that discussion, staff reported that the City
currently has a franchise agreement with Seattle City Light, and therefore, there is no need for a separate
coordination agreement regarding utility relocation. Unfortunately, the City does not have a franchise
agreement with Qwest, and Qwest is not willing to enter into a project specific coordination agreement with
the City. Qwest is required to relocate the facilities as allowed by law. Staff will continue to provide updates
on the situation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 13 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
