Subject: Contract for Inspection and plan review services.
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt an amendment to the scope of work, the contract time and
the contract amount for services provided by Sound Inspections Investigative
Engineers, LLC.
BACKGROUND
Westfield is determined to complete the permit process and the construction of the Mall
addition including all 90- plus tenant improvements by July of 2008. The expansion of
the Westfield Mall has placed a substantial increase in the work load for plan reviewers,
inspectors and the permit center staff In order to accommodate Westfield's ambitious
schedule and maintain the level of service to all other Tukwila citizens and businesses,
we have contracted for inspection services with Sound Inspections Investigative
Engineers, LLC. (S .I&. t h
The current contract was approved by Mayor Mullet for the amount, not to exceed
$25,000. The inspection services contract is scheduled to terminate June 30, 2008 or
upon reaching the payment threshold of $25,000.
DISCUSSION
The cost of the consultant's inspection services does not impact the general fund. The
permit fees cover the cost of inspections by our consultant. In addition, Westfield has
agreed to pay for all overtime inspections and has agreed to pay for overtime plan review
services.
New developments have changed the scope of our original contract. First, Westfield has
asked for expedited plan review for specific tenant improvements on an overtime basis.
Secondly, Westfield has extended the original opening date for the mall expansion to the
end of July 2008. The result of these requests calls for a change in the maximum dollar
amount of the contract, a change in the scope of work to include plan review services and
the extension of the termination date to July 31, 2008.
1
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the amended contract which includes plan review services, a maximum payment
threshold of $65,000 and the extended termination date of July 31, 2008.
Forward to February 25, 2008 C.O.W. with recommendation for approval

COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND PARKS COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes
February 11, 2008 5:00 p.m.; Conference Room #3
PRESENT
Councilmembers: Joan Hernandez, Chair; Verna Griffm and De'Sean Quinn
Staff: Jack Pace, Bob Benedicto, Lynn Miranda, Evie Boykan, Bruce Fletcher, Rhonda Berry and
Kimberly Matej
Guests: Chuck Parrish
CALL TO ORDER: Chair Hernandez called the meeting to order at 4:58 p.m.
I. PRESENTATIONS No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration Reporting
Council allocated $100,000 in the 2008 City Budget for Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration
(TCSC). In the past, when TCSC has received line item budget funds from the City, they have not been
required to enter into a contract or submit performance and/or activity reports and they have not taken
part in a City established competitive grant process. In order to improve accountability as well as
formalize the fund disbursement process, staff would like to discuss and clarify reporting procedures and
requirements for TCSC. Clarifying this process will also be useful in documenting the City's support of
the TCSC program and in determining future City -based funding for the program.
Staff distributed copies of existing TCSC reports which are given to the Tukwila School Board. The
Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration has not historically been reporting outcome /performance
measures. Since the program has not been able to produce outcomes, they have experienced some
difficulty in securing outside grant funds. However, it is important to remember that this struggle is not
unusual and is often experienced by new, unique growing programs such as this.
After a lengthy discussion, the Committee was in agreement that in addition to the numbers of children
attending the program, they wanted to explore other things that could be measured. Staff offered
suggestions for other measurements to consider, including: WASL scores, attendance records and
participant mobility. Committee members also felt that detailed information regarding TCSC staff
responsibilities at each school location would be useful in the report.
As a result of this discussion, Evie Boykan and Bruce Fletcher will work together to create a draft
contract between the City and TCSC for allocated funding. The contract will incorporate a scope of work
and build in performance objectives which will provide a basic outline of the City's expectations.
Additionally, staff will asked Deborah Salas of TCSC to attend an upcoming Committee meeting discuss
the type of data TCSC is looking at collecting as well as the barriers that they are experiencing in the
process of gathering that information as they work within the restrictions of the School District data.
This agenda item will return to Committee for further discussion and recommendation prior to going to
full Council. INFORMATION ONLY. RETURN TO COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Amend Conditions of the Contract for Inspection and Plan Services for the Westfield Mall Expansion
Staff is seeking full Council approval to replace the existing contract with Sound Inspections and
Investigative Engineers, LLC. for inspection and plan services for the Westfield Mall Expansion. The
replacement contract will be identical to the existing contract, with the exception of two items: extension
of the termination date to July 21, 2008 and an increase in the contract amount not to exceed $65,000.
Staff explained that these changes are being made due to Westfield's need to extend their opening date to
July 25. The current contract is reaching its threshold and will not be able to serve the City's needs as
Community Affairs Parks Committee Minutes February 11. 2008 Paae 2
required by the Mall's expansion. Jack Pace stated that the revenue for this contract is being generated by
Westfield and that it is not impacting the City's General Fund. The associated permit fees cover the cost
of inspections.
Utilizing the services of Sound Inspections and Investigative Engineers, LLC. provides the City with
overflow inspection assistance allowing staff to continue conducting residential and other small business.
Rhonda Berry stated that the nullification of the existing contract needs to be stated in the new contract.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Tukwila Urban Center Plan FTB Contract for Services
Staff is requesting full Council approval of a contract for services with Freedman, Tung Bottomley
(FTB) in the amount of $81,540.00 for completion of the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Plan.
Staff provided a brief background of the redevelopment strategy for the urban center including the mall
expansion, commuter rail station and other land use and transportation changes. The City is seeking to
meet the County requirements for an urban center including the housing component and employer /job
requirements.
The City previously hired Freedman, Tung Bottomley as consultants for the Tukwila Urban Center
Plan. Several meetings and work sessions (with Council and public) were held to select a preferred
vision for the urban center. This resulted in an internal form -based plan.
Staff is now ready for FTB to return to provide contract services that will result in a public review draft
for the TUC. This draft will lead us to development of a system for both public and private
improvements. The consultant's scope of work was included in the CAP packet; the full contract will be
included in the February 25 COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 25
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Student Representative to the Tukwila City Council
After gauging Council interest and securing consensus, Councilmember Verna Griffin submitted
information to the CAP Committee regarding a youth representative to the Tukwila City Council.
Verna shared a draft document outlining the requirements and expectations for a youth representative.
This document was formulated from documents from other organizations that implement similar
programs. It also parallels requirements set by the Tukwila School Board for their student
representatives.
After an extensive discussion, the Committee offered several suggestions and asked additional questions
including but not limited to:
City Attorney review of the document and requirements.
Research surrounding cities programs.
Consider the youth working for matching funds when travel is possible
Provide specific information regarding attendance requirements.
Consider making the program length shorter for more youth participation.
