BACKGROUND In 1986, as part of a reciprocal annexation agreement, the Cities of Renton and Tukwila agreed to cooperate with each other to ensure the construction of the Strander Boulevard/SW 27 Street Improvements and the SW 43` Street/South 180 Street Grade Separation Project. Strander Boulevard currently extends from Southcenter Parkway on the west to SR 181 (West Valley Highway) on the east. The project will extend Strander Boulevard across both the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks, across the Boeing Longacres site, and connect to existing SW 27 Street at Oakesdale Avenue. The project as a whole includes the existing SW 27 Street in Renton all the way to East Valley Highway, but this ILA between the two cities covers only the segment from West Valley Highway (SR 181) and Oakesdale Ave. The City of Renton has prepared a project definition report that selected an alternative for construction. Subsequently, Renton contracted with Perteet Engineering to provide a 30% design of the roadway and the associated railroad relocations and railroad bridges. The City of Renton has invested $1,178,659 in the corridor to date and has a remaining 2007 budget of $870,312 to continue the 30% design work through the end of the year. The City of Renton has been aggressively pursuing funding for Strander Boulevard. So far, they have received federal grants of $5,690,563.00. The City of Renton has also negotiated with Boeing to dedicate right -of -way needed for the project at a value of $2,500,000. The Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) has awarded $4,000,000 to the Strander Boulevard Project for construction, pending future legislative funding (all project grants are summarized in Attachment 1 to the ILA). P: \PUBWORKSWRO)ECTS\A- RV/ RS Projects \?knv03 stmdr ext\Info Memo Renton ILA Strander Bivd.doc Mayor Haggerton Page 2 February 19, 2008, 2008 WSDOT traffic projections show that Strander Boulevard will carry 46,000 vehicles per day in the year 2030 (with the direct HOV connection to SR 167), and 20,000 vehicles per day in 2015 (without the direct HOV connection to SR 167). The SW 27 167 Interchange is included in WSDOT's long term plan. The completion of the route will provide significant traffic relief to S 180 Street and Grady Way, and will also relieve some traffic from I -405. The total project is estimated to cost approximately $52 million with $23 million for Phase I and $29 million for the bridge construction. This includes the UPRR rail relocation and the roadway/bridge from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale. The next phase of the work will be the relocation of the UPRR tracks during 2008 -2010. ANALYSIS The City of Renton is requesting that the City of Tukwila commit City funding in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Strander Boulevard. Attached is the City of Tukwila 2008 -2013 CIP page for the Strander Blvd Extension Project. It is anticipated that this action will strengthen grant funding requests for the project.

Accordingly, stormwater detention will be m Tukwila's ownership and maintenance responsibility. Wetland mitigation will be in Renton's ownership and maintenance responsibility. The new SW27 /Strander Blvd. roadway will be owned and maintained by each city within its political boundaries. 6. COST SHARING Phase 1 This section provides for the sharing of costs by the two parties for the purpose of performing the planning, design, appraisals, acquisition of necessary property, and construction of improvements to the SW 27th Street /Strander Blvd. Extension Project between West Valley Highway (SR -181) and Oakesdale Ave. SW. The project as described above has two phases, shown in Attachment 2: Phase 1 includes all the ROW, road construction, retention of a Longacres Way access through the railroad embankment, and relocation of the UPRR tracks (including utility relocation); Phase 2 includes the construction of the bridge itself (overcrossing), and access to the bridge including the main approaches. It is anticipated that the parties will move ahead with Phase 1 with the costs shown in Attachment 1. Attachment 1 is illustrative in the sense that it includes some actual costs and grants and also estimated future expenditures and potential additional grants. The final cost table would likely be different than the attachment included in the agreement in 2007. The following applies to Phase 1: 6.1 For the purpose of this project, "local funding" shall mean the value of city funds (including mitigation fees used for the project), construction of any part of the project by other entities as part of mitigation requirements, city -owned property, and present value P:\PUBWORKS\PROJECTS\A- RAP RS Projects \86rw03 strndr ext \Tukwila Strander ILA 11- 6- 07.doc of ongoing and future operation and maintenance costs (including staff costs) for any created wetlands and storm water facilities contributed to the project, exclusive of funds contributed by grants, project funding partners, and costs of city staff, materials, and equipment contributed to the project. 6.2 Tukwila and Renton agree to contribute 50% of the local funding needed to plan, design, permit and build the portion of the Strander Blvd/SW 27th Street Extension Transportation Improvement project between and including the intersections with West Valley Highway and Oakesdale Ave. SW. Tukwila's contribution to the Strander Blvd. /SW 27th Street project shall include a credit of $262,622, which is the difference between T1kwila's contribution and Renton's contribution to the South 180th Street Improvement project. In addition, Tukwila's contribution will include, as part of its local share, the entire city owned property to the south of the future Strander Blvd/SW27th Street. Bridge (approximately 5.5 acres). The value of this contribution will be determined through a fair market value appraisal, which will be completed by Deeember 31 2007Ju1v 1. 2007. Appraisals will also determine the fair market values of the various properties which involved in the securing of the new UPRR Right of Way. North of Longacres Way, Tukwila will provide UPRR with the new right of way for the track relocation and receive the vacated right of way from UPRR. South of Strander Blvd., Tukwila will convey the necessary right of way to UPRR for the track relocation within the 5.5 acres owned by the city and which are credited in full value toward Tukwila's cost share. All credit will be applied to the project before any additional funds are required to be paid by Tukwila. 6.3 The parties agree to proceed on the basis of the projected revenues and expenditures shown in Attachment 1. The parties agree that their maximum respective local share will be $4.5 million each (including values of land). The parties must both agree to any bid award for Phase I whereby the net local share for each exceeds the $4.5 million local share projected in Attachment 1. Failure of a party to agree to a bid award that exceeds the $4.5 million local share per party shall suspend the project until the parties are able to secure more funding, or agree to a higher local share than $4.5 million. 6.4 The parties agree that no later than January, 2009, Tukwila will pay Renton an amount of money which will achieve an even 50/50 split of all previous expenditures made by Renton for the project as shown on Attachment 1. provided that Renton has performed P:\PUBWORKS\PROJECTS\A- RSV RS Projects \86ruw03 strndr ext \Tukwila Strander ILA 11- 6- 07.doc all work described in Section 2. Terms and Conditions. including* entering into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad authorizing the relocation of the railroad tracks., 6.5 Subsequent to the physical completion of Phase 1 of the project, Renton and Tukwila will review the amount of local funding each party has applied to the project and determine final, reconciled local funding numbers. Renton and Tukwila shall share these numbers, along with backup proof or substantiation of these numbers as requested by the other city. 6.6 In addition to the foregoing funding to be provided to the Project by Tukwila, Tukwila will pay Renton for those requested construction changes if they are betterment changes that significantly change the scope of work of the approved construction plans. Tukwila will not be responsible for the costs of change orders that are due to unknown field conditions or design problems that are identified during the project construction. 6.7 In the event a lawsuit is instituted to enforce the payment obligations of Tukwila, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs of such a lawsuit, including reasonable attorney's fees. 7 Phase II The bridge and bridge approaches 7.1 The parties agree to pursue a bridge design that is affordable ($21 -25 million m 2006 estimates), and is most likely to be a concrete box girder design. The design of such a bridge shall include attractive design features of a "gateway character" in the amount of' $500,000, equally shared by each party. Either party shall have the right to exceed its stated contribution toward these special design features as long as the timing or the content of such features does not impact the cost of the basic bridge. 7.2 The parties agree to make a best effort to program $2.5 million each toward the $21 -25 million estimated cost of the bridge in the 2009 -2015 respective Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP's). The exact timing of programming these amounts in the TIP will be done so as to ensure a local match for additional external funding to be sought for the bridge. However, any decision to proceed on any aspect of the bridge will require an amendment to this agreement. P \PUBWORKS \PROJECTS \A- RSV RS Projects \86r7. stradr earl \T ukwila Strander MA 11- 6- 07.doc 7.3 The parties may agree to include some of the bridge approach costs as part of the Phase 1 project if such opportunities present themselves, and if the costs of these improvements do not change the local share as shown in Attachment 1. Any increase in local share beyond the $4.5 million as shown in Attachment 1, whether used for Phase 1 or Phase 2, has to be approved by both parties unless one party opts to pay for the other party's share beyond $4.5 million. 8. DURATION/TERMINATION 8.1 This Agreement shall remain in effect until final acceptance of the Project and payment by Tukwila of all monies due from Tukwila to Renton. 8.2 If expected or actual funding is withdrawn, reduced or limited in any way prior to the completion of the Project, either party may, with 30 days written notice to the other party, terminate this Agreement. 8.3 In the event of termination prior to completion of the Project: 8.3.1 The party requesting termination shall pay all direct and indirect phasing -out costs. 8.3.2 Termination costs payable shall not exceed the actual costs incurred as a result of termmation of the Project. 9. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS Washington State law shall govern the respective liability between the parties to this Agreement for any loss due to property damage or personal injury arising out of the activities conducted pursuant to this Agreement. 10.

Strander Boulevard Extension Interlocal Agreement with City of Renton Staff briefly explained the history associated with this project which dates back to 1986 (see Resolution 1008) when the Cities of Tukwila and Renton began working together on the relocation of land boundaries. This culminated in the 2006 completion of Renton's SW 27 Street connection to the Federal Reserve Bank. The current request for an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Renton is for the purpose of the extension project of SW 27 Street/Strander Boulevard between West Valley Highway and Oaksdale Avenue. The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement. Due to recent changes in the mayoral seats of both Tukwila and Renton, it is essential for Mayor Haggerton and Mayor Law (Renton) to meet to reaffirm both cities' commitments to this project. Currently, a meeting is scheduled between the two m early February. Staff does not plan to move fonvard with this interlocal agreement until after that meeting. The Committee reviewed contract specifications in detail. Depending on the outcome of the mayoral meeting, the Interlocal Agreement will either return to the Transportation Committee or go directly to COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF EXISTING INTERLOCAL. FORWARD TO FUTURE COW. IF CHANGES, RETURN TO TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. B. Ordinance Adopting 2008 Standard Specifications The adoption of the WSDOT /APWA Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, more commonly referred to as Standard Specifications, is a bi- annual process familiar to the Council. Every two years updates are made to the Standard Specifications. The changes are usually minor; however, in order to be eligible for federal funding, the City is required to adopt the Standards each time there is an update. Staff has prepared a draft ordinance adopting the Standards. The only change in the new ordmance in comparison to the repealed ordinance is that the new ordinance allows for the adoption of the 2008 Standard Specifications as well as the adoption of all future amendments. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 28 COW. C. Ordinance Adontine WSDOT Access PermittinL Standards for SR -181 The City is required to adopt WSDOT Access Permitting Standards for all state managed highways located within City limits. Currently, SR -181 (West Valley Highway) is the only roadway located in Tukwila which is managed by the state. Staff is seeking full Council approval of an ordinance that
