II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Shasta Sanitary Sewer Emergency Pine Repair Emergency Declaration Resolution
Staff has identified eroded pipes in a portion of the sanitary sewer located in front of Shasta
Beverages off of Andover Park East. As a result of these damages, staff is seeking Council
approval for an emergency resolution exempting the contract process from competitive
bidding and allowing for immediate repairs of the sewer pipe. The pipe was originally
installed in 1967, and faltered after 40 years of area businesses utilizing chemical and acid in
their technical processes. The replacement piping will be made of materials inert to the
chemicals utilized by these businesses. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
MAY 29 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Shasta Sanitary Sewer Emergency Pine Repair Short Form Construction Contract
Staff is seeking authorization to enter into a short form contract with R.L. Alia Company in
the amount of $35,000 plus WSST for the repair of the subject sanitary sewer. Funds were
not budgeted for this repair. Since the design for another project (Sewer Repair at 14438 59
Avenue South) is scheduled to be completed in- house, the funding for the emergency repair
will be taken from the 2007 CIP design budget originally reserved for the Sewer Repair at
14438 59 Avenue South (see CIP page 117). UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Proposed King County Solid Waste Increase
Staff originally submitted King County's proposed solid waste increase as information only
to the Committee. After discussion, the Committee recommended the information be
presented to full Council to keep them as well as the general public informed.
