RE: CORMMUNITY DENIM .OPMENT BLOCK GRANT FOR 2007
The application to King County for Community Development Block Grants is due to King
County by May 31. The submission of the application must be accompanied by Council
authorization and Mayor approval. The Office of Human Services proposes to continue the Minor
Home Repair program, which targets minor home repairs to low and moderate income homeowners
in Tukwila. In 2005 this program served 22 households with 44 repairs. Most households were at
30% of median income ($16,350 annually for one person). In SeaTac, 27 households were served
with 54 repairs. The program successfully assisted homeowners who were having a difficult time
maintaining their house. The program is a tool that the cities can use to both serve a human service
need of maintaiung a safe house, as well as a tool to address some code enforcement issues. The
service also contributes to a more positive image of Tukwila single family neighborhoods.
We submitted last year's application jointly with the City of SeaTac as they were interested m
continuing the program, however neither of us had an application that could compete on its own
with the new County system for distribution of the Community Development Block Grant funds.
We successfully submitted an application and were awarded $40,000 ($18,000 for Tukwila and
$22,000 for SeaTac.). In order to submit a more competitive application, which is also subregional in
nature, we are proposing to administer the 2007 program on behalf of three cities, Tukwila, SeaTac,
and Des Moines. SeaTac has one staff person addressing human service issues, and m Des Moines,
the staff person to implement the project will be their code enforcement officer. Our sponsorship
implies that we will serve as the fiscal agent for the three cities, as well as handle the admiustration
with King County. Each city will need to hire their own contractors, screen their chents and make
referrals. Our job will be to gather their paperwork to receive reimbursement from King County
We propose to submit an application for $57,000 $22,000 for SeaTac, $20,000 for Tukwila and
$15,000 for Des Moines.
We recognize the CDBG funds are tenuous in this climate of federal cost cutting However,
should there be adequate funds for King County, we feel that this program meets a tangible need in
serving lower income populations with their housing needs. The program's consistency with the
County's Consohdated Plan supports continuation as a method of supporting affordable housing
Homeowners express gratitude and appreciation for a service that they otherwise would not be able
to afford.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Community Development Block Grant for 2007
Evie explained that the 2007 CDBG Block Grant Applications are due to be submitted to
King County by May 31, 2006. Due to the number of low and moderate income Tukwila
households who used the Minor Home Repair program last year, she is recommending
that we continue to apply for CDBG funds for this program. She distributed a list of the
44 different types of minor home repairs that were most frequently requested by the 22
Tukwila households who used this program and said that the homeowners express
gratitude and appreciation for this program.
In 2005, we submitted our CDBG application jointly with the City of SeaTac and we
were awarded $40,000 ($18,000 for Tukwila and $22,000 for SeaTac. In order to
increase our competitive edge, Evie contacted other South King County cities to inquire
whether there was interest in another city who would like to be part of our application,
and she received a positive response from Des Moines. Therefore, she is proposing to
administer the 2007 Minor Home Repair Program with the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, and
Des Moines and is recommending that we submit an application for $57,000 ($22,000 for
SeaTac, $20,000 for Tukwila, and $15,000 for Des Moines).
When the application is submitted to King County, it must be accompanied by Council
authorization and Mayor approval. The committee recommended forwarding to April
24` COW for authorization and approval.

A. Council Chambers Remodel Cabinetry. Carpentry and Painting Bid Award Six bids were
solicited from the Small Works Roster. Three did not respond, two declined and only one
submitted a proposal. This contract will include adding an approximate 5 -inch lip to the dais that
will have under mounted lights. The wood on the dais and beams will be stained darker but will
still show the wood grain. Multiple decorative glass panels will be installed behind the Council that
are 20- inches wide and 5 -6 ft tall and lit with fiber optic lights. An example of the glass panels can
C be found at www.innovativeglass.com and go to the fiber optic tab. The glass panels will have the
City seal and a landscape etching of mountains, streams and cranes. The contract also includes
rebuilding the bailiff and City Clerk desk to incorporate a movable jury box. The plan is to
complete the cabinetry off site and install Thursday night through the weekend for at least 3
weekends. Updated interior lights will also be installed and Pam L suggested checking the lights at
Council position 6 7, as it seems darker at that location. Ryan P. was familiar and pleased with
this contractor's work, who is based out of Burien. Unanimous recommendation to send bid of
$176.538.88 to COW for approval.
B. Adoption of 2005 Sewer System Plan Update The large bound plan was distributed at the
meeting and CDs are also available and will be distributed to the full Council. This is the six -year
update for the sewer plan and was approved for the first time by the Department of Ecology. We
have a good working relationship with DOE and they only had minor changes to the plan. Overall
this means we are good system operators. The sewer improvements are listed in Table 8 -1 on page
8 -2 and have been incorporated into the 2006 CIP. The water plan is also being updated and is
currently under review at King County but there is a delay with water rights and the Muckleshoot
Tribe. Unanimous recommendation to send Ordinance adopting the 2005 Sewer Plan Update
to COW for approval.
C. New Drinking Water Requirements from the USEPA Consultant Selection and Agreement
This is the unfunded mandate that was brought to the last UC meeting on 4/4/06. The EPA has
mandated that we set up and report on the City's water monitoring sites by October 1, 2006. The
only options are that we do nothing and have problems with the EPA, have the City of Seattle do it
for a fee, or we hire this consultant to do the report. Unanimous recommendation to send
Consultant Contract of $66358 with HDR Engineering to COW for approval.
Other
Jim M distributed the flyers that will be handed out at the Allentown/Foster Pt Open House on
April 27, 2006. The flyers include one with all of the charges that will be assessed to each owner,
one with the breakdown of construction costs, and the third flyer includes the 3 payment plans; 5,
10 or 15 years for the proposed $15,000 connection charge. The breakdown of costs from the bid
award brings the estimated connection charge to $20,446.73, when we had an estimate of $15,000.
There was a lengthy discussion on if the City should set a precedent and keep the connection fee at
$15,000 or apply the charge of $20,446.73.

To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director
Date: April 19, 2006
Subject: Sewer Connection Fee for Allentown/Foster Point Neighborhoods
ISSUE:
Establish an amount for the Allentown/Foster Point sewer connection fee.
BACKGROUND:
The construction and the construction management contracts for the Allentown/Foster Point Water and Sewer
Improvement Project have been awarded. With these awards, the City has a firmer estimate on the overall projects
costs. The project's total cost is estimated to be $8,736,332.00, includes construction, construction management,
and contingency costs. See Attachment 1.
The City's three enterprise funds (Water, Sewer, and Surface Water) will be used to initially pay for these
improvements. It has been City Policy to reimburse the Water and Sewer funds for the costs of the improvements
by establishing a connection fee that is assessed when a new connection to the system is made. A Surface Water
connection fee is not needed because anticipated system improvements have been included m the rate structure.
The connection fee has traditionally been calculated by dividing the project's sewer costs by the number of
projected new connections. The sewer improvements are estimated to cost $4,804,982.60. See Attachment 1.
From a survey of the neighborhoods, there is a potential of 235 new connections for sewer.
Ordmance 1777, effective November 12, 1996, established the Sewer and Water Connection fees for Allentown
Phase I sewer installation and the Allentown/Ryan Hill water system improvements. The City offered a 10% re-
duction to the "base" fee for early connections in order to accelerate neighborhood revitalization. See Attachment 2.
AiNALYSIS of OPTIONS:
Even though some of Tukwila's neighbors have demanded that connection be immediate, the following discussion
does not propose a change to the existmg City policy. Tukwila's City policy currently states that connection will
only be required in the followmg circumstances:
1. Septic or health problems are identified by King County Health Depai talent that require repair of the
septic tank system, or
2. The home changes ownership, or
3. Remodeling occurs adding a bathroom or bedroom, or
4. New construction.
The following options only address the amount of the proposed sewer connection fee. A discussion of a proposed
water connection fee will be deferred to the future because it will only be assessed on new construction. Staff will
return to Council with a proposed ordinance implementmg the water and sewer connection fee when the project is
nearing completion. The City has two options for consideration in establishing the sewer connection fee:
Option 1: In April of 2005, Staff, City Administration, and Council discussed project costs and the associated
sewer connection fee. The original plan was to establish, if possible, a connection fee that would be close to
the fee being paid by Allentown Phase I residents that were connecting to the system in 2007 ($10,189.20).
But it was recognized that because of nsing fuel costs, matenal costs, and labor, the connection fee would
have to be raised from the $10,000 to $15,000 if the City hoped to recover the majonty of the project's cost.
\TUK2 \VOL1\PUBWORKS\PROJECTS\A- SW Projects \O1sw02 Atown II Foster Pt\Allentown Connection Fee g14- 20 -06.doc
Sewer Connection Fee for Allentown/Foster Point Neighborhoods
The City also proposed increasing the sewer rates 10% each year through 2010 to offset the increased costs
associated with Allentown Phase II. See Attachments 3 and 4. The City's connection charge is only one
portion of the total sewer charges; the side sewer connection, permit fee, and King County Metro capacity
charge must also be added and these three charges total approximately $9,136.93 The City was concerned that
a resident would be paying $24,137 when the three additional charges were included. See Attachment 5. But
the City had little choice if the Sewer Fund was to remain viable. This increased connection fee was then
presented to the Allentown and Foster Point residents in two Open Houses. Option 1 is to set the base year
cost at $15,000 and to mcrease each succeeding year's cost by 5% ($750.00).

2013 $19,500
2014 $20,250
2015 $21,000
2016 $21,750
Option 2: The sewer connection fee will be calculated by dividing the total sewer project costs (including
construction, contingency, and construction management) by the number of potential sewer connections. This
would allow the City to recover the majority of the project's costs if all of the potential connections are made.
In order to accelerate neighborhood revitalization, allow a 10% reduction ($2,044.67) to the base fee if the
connection is made within the first year. This calculation was used in Allentown Phase I. Also increase the fee
each year by 5
Sewer Connection Fee: $4,804,982.60 divided by 235 20,446.73. Increase this base fee by $1,022.34 a
year (5% of the base fee) until 2016 in accord with RCW 35.92.025. With the addition of the three additional
charges of $9,136.93, the first year's total connection charges would be $27,538.98.

Allentown/Foster Point Project Financial Impacts Even with planned 15 %,13% and 11% rate
increases in five years in the sewer fund, with the current $5.7 m Public Works Trust Fund
(PWTF) loan the enterprise would lose money from 2006 until 2010 when the new 11% increase
took effect. Because we need to borrow $2.8 million additional PWTF loans for the
Allentown/Foster sewer, with identical rate increases (15 13% and 11 with connection fee
repayments and with the $2.8 m. loan, deficits are decreased until 2007. Jim said the additional
loan will pay increased costs due to oil prices, anticipated future cost increases, and for a
construction management consultant to manage the project.
With the $8.5 million loan, connection fees will be $15,000. With a side sewer permit and
construction work costing about $5,000 and King County's Sewer Capacity charge of $4,100,
connections will cost about $25,000. Monthly payments on a15 -year loan of that size would be
$100 /month.
Again, no one would be required to hook up unless their sewer was failing, they added a
bedroom or bathroom, sold their home or built a new home. Committee members talked about
how difficult it could be for citizens to afford the new pnces, but they could not think of an
alternative. Joan suggested sewer rates be raised 10% every year for five years to make planning
ahead easier. Staff will run those figures to see if they generate as much funding as the three
planned increases. Gail had calculated increases to generate an even dollar increase in residential
rates.
Three Council members will be at the Duwamish Community Club meeting Thursday. Jim and
Gail will also attend. Recommend funding and proposed sewer rates to COW.

SPONSOR'S Council requested additional analysis for the funding of the Allentown /Foster Point Water
SUM MARY Sewer Improvement Project. A second Public Works Trust Fund Loan could be applied
for an additional $2,850,000. If we obtain the second loan, both the Water Fund and the
Surface Water Fund are able to absorb the added debt service. In order for the Sewer Fund
to be fiscally sound, we are proposing rate increases of 15% in 2006, and 10% every year
from 2007 through 2010, along with increasing the sewer connection fee from $10,000 to
$15,000.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director
Date: April 20, 2005
SUBJECT: Funding for the Allentown/Foster Point Sewer Project
ISSUE:
Are the three Enterprise Funds able to support the debt service associated with an
additional Public Works Trust Fund loan to construct the Allentown/Foster Point Sewer
Project?
BACKGROUND:
In October 2004, the City advertised for bids to construct the Allentown/Foster Point
Water and Sewer Improvement project. All of the bids came in over budget. The City
Council directed staff to reduce the project scope and re- advertise the project.
In March 2005, the City received three bids from the second advertisement. All three
bids were higher than the budget. The higher bid costs are attributed to the steep rise in
construction materials.
At the April 11, 2005 Committee of the Whole Meeting, the City Council endorsed
staff's recommendation to reject all of the latest bids. Numerous options were discussed
to fund the project's shortfall. City Council favored the option to apply to the Public
Works Trust Fund Board for a second loan, but requested Staff provide additional
information at the next Utility Committee Meeting that outlines the fmancial impact of an
additional loan.
DISCUSSION:
New Project Cost Estimate $9,000,000.00
Minus City Required Local Matching 5% (450.000.00)
Total Loan Amount Available $8,550,000.00
PWTF Loan #1 (5.700.000.00)
Amount of Loan #2 $2.850.000.00
The second loan amount requested from the Public Works Trust Fund Board will be
$2,850,000.00. Both the Water Enterprise Fund and the Surface Water Fund are able to
absorb the additional debt service without risk.
Since the Sewer Fund will carry the majority of the project's debt service, the enclosed
attachments address the financial impact of the second loan. The following is being
provided:
1. Enclosure 1 Attachment E from the current 2005 CIP The 2005 budget
includes the debt service associated with a $5,700,000 loan; additional revenues
from assessing a $10,000 sewer connection fee; and implementing a 15% rate
increase in 2006, a 13% in 2008, and an 11% increase in 2010, Note: The
Accumulated Totals (Ending Fund Balance) decrease from year -to -year. In other
words, the fund's expenditures exceed the revenues.
2. Enclosure 2 A revised Attachment E that shows the additional debt service
associated with an $8,550,000 loan in lieu of the current $5,700,000 loan;
increasing the sewer connection fee to $1 5,000, and implementing the same 15%
rate increase in 2006, 13% in 2008, and 11% increase in 2010. The increase in
the connection fee from $10,000 to $15,000 is to accommodate the increase in the
project's cost. Note: The Ending Fund Balance is slightly better expenditures
start to exceed revenues in 2007.
3. Enclosure 3 As stated above, the budget anticipates revenues from assessing a
connection fee of $15,000, but this is only a portion of the costs that a homeowner
will pay. The total cost to connect to the sewer is estimated to be approximately
$25,000. This is a significant cost to a homeowner and it is felt that the
anticipated revenues from assessing these charges may not be realized, especially
if the City continues with its current policy of not requiring homeowners to
connect immediately.
The estimate for a $15,000 sewer connection fee on a 15 -year payment plan at
2.5% interest would be approximately $100.00 each month.
4. Enclosure 4 To counter the risk associated with the increased cost of the
connection fee and the potential that the Sewer Fund may not receive revenues as
anticipated, an option is a 15% rate increase in 2006 and a 10% rate increase
every year from 2007 through 2010. These proposed rate increases reduce the
financial risk and place the Sewer Fund in a better fiscal position.
5. Enclosure 5 Shows the monthly financial impact to a Residential Customer for the
current proposed rate increases of 15% in 2006, 13 %.in 2008, and 11% in 2010
6. Enclosure 6 Shows the monthly financial impact to a Residential Customer for the
proposed rate increase of 15% in 2006 and 10% increases in 2007 through 2010.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to the Committee of the Whole for discussion of the proposed actions required
to fund the Allentown/Foster Point project Apply for a second Public Works Trust Fund
loan in the amount of $2,850,000; increase the connection fee from $10,000 to $15,000;
and add 10% rate increases for 2007 through 2010.

Update on Sewer Fees April 21, 2005 Open House
Allentown Phase II and Foster Point Neighborhoods
Hookup to the new sewer system is only required if:
Your septic system fails, or
Remodel, adding a bedroom or bathroom, or
Home ownership changes
New construction
Estimate of charges for sewer connection include:
1. Connection Charge Estimate 15,000.00
2. Side Sewer Connection
(the line from your house to the street) Estimate 4,500.00
3. City of Tukwila Permit Fee Estimate 500.00
4. King County's Sewer Capacity Charge 4,136.93
Approximate Total 24.137.00
Again, you will not have to pay any of these charges until you connect to the sewer
system. We know the new sewer system will bring benefits to the area improved
sanitation, cleaner, safer ground water, and increased property values. We also
recognize that connecting to the sewer system involves a substantial sum of
money.
We are committed to doing as much as possible to ease the financial burden and
keep you informed. Payment plans of 5, 10 or 15 years will be available to all
households for the Connection Charge. We estimate that a 15 -year payment plan
on the $15,000 connection fee at 2.5% interest would be $100.00 a month. King
County also offers a 15 -year payment plan on the Sewer Capacity Charge.
Assistance will also be available for low income households.
For information on the project and financial assistance, please call the City of
Tukwila's Public Works department at (206) 433 -0179.

A. Council Chambers Remodel Cabinetry, Carpentry and Painting Bid Award Six bids were
solicited from the Small Works Roster. Three did not respond, two declined and only one
submitted a proposal. This contract will include adding an approximate 5 -inch lip to the dais that
will have under mounted lights. The wood on the dais and beams will be stained darker but will
still show the wood grain. Multiple decorative glass panels will be installed behind the Council that
are 20- inches wide and 5 -6 ft tall and lit with fiber optic lights. An example of the glass panels can
be found at www.innovativealass.com and go to the fiber optic tab. The glass panels will have the
City seal and a landscape etching of mountains, streams and cranes. The contract also includes
rebuilding the bailiff and City Clerk desk to incorporate a movable jury box. The plan is to
complete the cabinetry off site and install Thursday night through the weekend for at least 3
weekends. Updated interior lights will also be installed and Pam L suggested checking the lights at
Council position 6 7, as it seems darker at that location. Ryan P. was familiar and pleased with
this contractor's work, who is based out of Burien. Unanimous recommendation to send bid of
$176,538.88 to COW for approval.
B. Adoption of 2005 Sewer System Plan Update The large bound plan was distributed at the
meeting and CDs are also available and will be distributed to the full Council. This is the six -year
update for the sewer plan and was approved for the first time by the Department of Ecology. We
have a good working relationship with DOE and they only had minor changes to the plan. Overall
this means we are good system operators. The sewer improvements are listed in Table 8 -1 on page
8 -2 and have been incorporated into the 2006 CIP. The water plan is also being updated and is
currently under review at King County but there is a delay with water rights and the Muckleshoot
Tribe. Unanimous recommendation to send Ordinance adopting the 2005 Sewer Plan Update
to COW for approval.
C. New Drinking Water Requirements from the USEPA Consultant Selection and Agreement
This is the unfunded mandate that was brought to the last UC meeting on 4/4/06. The EPA has
mandated that we set up and report on the City's water monitoring sites by October 1, 2006. The
only options are that we do nothing and have problems with the EPA, have the City of Seattle do it
for a fee, or we hire this consultant to do the report. Unanimous recommendation to send
Consultant Contract of $66,358 with HDR Engineering to COW for approval.

Jim M distributed the flyers that will be handed out at the Allentown/Foster Pt Open House on
\k4 April 27, 2006. The flyers include one with all of the charges that will be assessed to each owner,
one with the breakdown of construction costs, and the third flyer includes the 3 payment plans; 5,
10 or 15 years for the proposed $15,000 connection charge. The breakdown of costs from the bid
award brings the estimated connection charge to $20,446.73, when we had an estimate of $15,000.
There was a lengthy discussion on if the City should set a precedent and keep the connection fee at
$15,000 or apply the charge of $20,446.73.

Pam L wanted to know what other cities give discounts, subsidize any of the connection fees and if
they have mandatory hookup to the sewer after the construction is completed. Jim H wanted to
know exactly what we did in Phase I with the discounted connection fee in the first year and what
Phase II would be if we followed the same formula. This item will move forward to COW for
discussion by all seven Council members prior to the Allentown/Foster Pt Open House that is
scheduled for Thursday, April 27, 2006. Unanimous recommendation to send to COW for
discussion.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Directo
Date: March 29, 2006
Subject: New Drinking Water Requirement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
ISSUE
Contract with HDR Consultants to assist the City of Tukwila in meeting the requirements of the USEPA
and a water blending study.
BACKGROUND
After many delays, the USEPA has published final versions of the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfectants
By- Products Rule (DBPR) and the Long -Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR).
The Rules will trigger several deadlines some of which are almost immediate. The first deadline
requires all systems to submit two formal written reports outlining their plans for: a) the Initial
Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) and b) Cryptosporidium monitoring. Systems serving 100,000 or
more people (and any wholesale purchasers from the system) must submit their plans by October 2006.
The DBPR requires that new DBP monitoring locations be identified for the Stage 2 DBPR compliance
samples. Some of these new sites are to represent the maximum trihalomethane (THM) and/or haloacetic
acid (HAA) levels in the distribution system. The highest THM sampling point and the highest HAA
sampling point will not necessarily be the same points. The utility is required to locate these maximum
points, as well as the other sampling points as prescribed by the DBPR. The procedure for finding the
appropriate sample points and justifying their selection to the Primary Agency is called the Initial
Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE).
The City of Tukwila purchases Cedar River water from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) through the Cascade
Water Alliance (CWA). Tukwila is currently considering an additional supply source. Under this
scenario, Tukwila could receive additional water purchased from CWA which would be wheeled through
the City of Kent. Tukwila would be receiving drinking water from Kent, a system that relies on multiple
groundwater sources and, in the near future, Green River surface water. If this occurs, Tukwila will be
blending surface and groundwater sources of different water qualities in its distribution system.
As a consequence of blending water from Kent, it is possible Tukwila's compliance with the Lead and
Copper Rules may change. Tukwila is currently part of the regional monitoring plan for compliance with
the lead and copper in drinking water.
ANALYSIS
This EPA mandate can be funded by the Water Enterprise Fund from the ending fund balance or Supply
Station Upgrades and Abandonments on page 83 of the 2006 C.I.P. Upgrades to the Water Supply Station
are not needed this year thus freeing up $90,000.00 which can be used for the EPA required mandate.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the agreement with HDR in the amount of $66,358 to assist the City of Tukwila in meeting Stage
2 Disinfectants and Disinfectants By- Products Rules (DBPR) and Water Blending Study.

Exhibit A
Scope of Work and Budget for City of Tukwila
Introduction
City of Tukwila (Tukwila), a member of the Cascade Water Alliance (CWA), relies on 100%
purchased water for its potable water supply and fire flow. Currently, Tukwila purchases
Cedar River water from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU). The Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection By- Products Rule (DBPR) contains requirements for developing an Initial
Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Plan and Report for submittal to the USEPA. As a
combined distribution system with SPU, Tukwila must comply with Schedule 1 of the Stage 2
DBPR and submit its IDSE Plan to the USEPA by October 1, 2006. The IDSE Plan will
recommend preliminary monitoring sites to be sampled for a one -year period. After
completing monitoring and evaluating results, Tukwila will be required to prepare the final
IDSE Report to identify Stage 2 compliance monitoring sites within the distribution system.
In addition to Cedar River water from SPU, Tukwila is currently considering an additional
supply source. Under this scenario, Tukwila could receive additional water purchased from
CWA which would be wheeled through the City of Kent. Tukwila would be receiving
drinking water from Kent, a system that relies on multiple groundwater sources and, in the
near future, Green River surface water. If this occurs, Tukwila will be blending surface and
groundwater sources of different water qualities in its distribution system.
As a consequence of blending water from Kent, it is possible Tukwila's compliance with the
Lead and Copper Rules may change. Tukwila is currently part of the regional monitoring
plan developed by SPU for compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. This regional
monitoring plan would likely not be applicable when Tukwila begins using a new supply
source.
The City has requested that FIDR provide assistance in (1) developing an IDSE Plan and
Report for compliance with Stage 2 DBPR and (2) assessing implications to water quality of
the potential new source of supply from Kent. The following scope of work has been
developed to meet these objectives.
Task 1— IDSE Compliance Assistance
Task 2 Blending Evaluation
Task 3 Project Management and Administrative Functions
These three tasks and associated subtasks for completing this work are described below.
1
Task 1 IDSE Compliance Assistance
The scope of work for this task has been prepared for Tukwila based on the following
assumptions:
Retail population is between 10,000 49,999.
Eight (8) IDSE monitoring sites will be identified.
Four (4) proposed Stage 2 monitoring Locations will be identified.
Primary source of supply is surface water from SPU's Cedar River source. Prior to the
completion of IDSE monitoring, additional groundwater may be supplied from the City of
Kent in the Southcenter portion,of the system.
No booster disinfection is practiced.
Tukwila is part of a combined distribution system with SPU, and therefore is on Schedule
1 for compliance.
Tukwila will give selected representatives of HDR permission to log on to the USEPA
Data Collection and Tracking System to prepare and submit the IDSE Plan and the IDSE
Report.
Tukwila will conduct all field monitoring and will work with SPU and/or CWA to pay for
analysis of IDSE samples. Additional "investigative" monitoring may be necessary to
better characterize distribution system water quality conditions.
Tukwila has selected HDR to comply with the IDSE using the Standard Monitoring
Program (SMP) approach. HDR will conduct modeling runs that will be needed in
support of the SMP effort. HDR has most current version of Tukwila's hydraulic model.
HDR has the most current version of Tukwila's Water System Plan and associated data.
This first task is divided into the following six subtasks as described below. Subtasks 1.1
through 1.4 will result in the first submittal to USEPA the IDSE SMP Plan. This work will
occur in 2006, with the IDSE Plan being submitted no later than October 1, 2006. Subtasks
1.5 and 1.6 will result in the second deliverable to USEPA, the IDSE SMP Report. This work
will occur primarily in 2008, with some effort in 2007. The IDSE Report will be submitted
no later than January 1, 2009. Thus, the final deliverables will be an IDSE Plan and an IDSE
Report. Both will be prepared per the USEPA format in an electronic version and paper
format.
Subtask 1.1 Review Existing Information
Approach:
1. Work with USEPA to determine potential impacts of introduction of new Kent
source on IDSE timeline.

Task 2 Blending Evaluation
The objective of this task is to determine how Tukwila can blend water from the City of Kent
with water purchased from SPU in their distribution system and continue to meet the Lead
and Copper Rules and serve aesthetically pleasing water to its customers. In particular, the
City is concerned with regard to corrosivity of the blended waters and compliance with the
Lead and Copper Rule and other drinking water regulations. The approach for this study
consists of five subtasks as described below.
Subtask 2.1 Review the Water Quality Data and Supply System
This subtask will include a project kick -off meeting, to discuss Tukwila's supply and
operations scenarios and timelines related to these scenarios. It will evaluate water quality
data for Tukwila's existing Cedar River source and water from Kent, a mixture of surface and
water sources. This evaluation will review water treatment methods, including both
disinfection and pH adjustment. Additionally, this task will review distribution system entry
points and the movement of water through Tukwila's pressure zones. This will build upon
previous work conducted as part of the Comprehensive Water Supply Plan. This task will be
conducted cooperatively with Subtask 1.1 of the IDSE study.
Subtask 2.1.1 (Optional) Develop a Water Quality Monitoring Plan
This subtask will be conducted only if necessary and would be conducted after completing
Subtasks 1.1 (IDSE) and 2.1 (Blending), which include a review of water quality conditions.
If Tukwila's existing water quality data are not sufficient for conducting a desk -top evaluation
of corrosion and blending, HDR will develop a monitoring plan to be conducted to fill in data
gaps. This water quality monitoring plan will include any additional data needs for the IDSE.
Subtask 2.2 Perform Blending Analysis for Blending Cedar River Water with
Kent Sources
This subtask will utilize spreadsheet models to predict the pH and other corrosion- related
parameters of blends of different proportions of the Cedar River, Kent groundwater sources,
and treated Green River water at four key locations in the distribution system. This analysis
will, if necessary data are available, also include a description of seasonal variation. This
subtask will be conducted cooperatively with Subtask 1.3 (IDSE). Hydraulic modeling of
Tukwila's distribution system will be conducted by HDR to predict blend ratios at these
locations. This effort will use the hydraulic model developed by HDR for Tukwila in 2004
and 2005.
Subtask 2.3 Assess the Potential for Other Water Quality Concerns
This subtask will assess the potential for iron uptake from iron or galvanized piping as water
sources are switched between surface and ground water sources. The extent, condition,
location of the pipe (service lines and mains), planned operating regimes, and the water
quality characteristics will be used in the assessment. The potential for iron uptake problems
to occur will be classified as Low, Medium or High. Additionally, this task will consider
7
other distribution system water quality concerns, including disinfectant residual maintenance,
disinfection by- products, and bacteria.
Subtask 2.4 Determine the Best Plan for Meeting DOH and City Objectives
with Regard to LCR Compliance
This subtask will include determination of Tukwila's next steps with respect to the Lead and
Copper Rule, including discussions with DOH regarding the applicability regional monitoring
for Tukwila in the future. If a new monitoring plan is required, this task will include a
determination of Tukwila's next steps for LCR compliance, covering issues such as
monitoring requirements and steps for developing a DOH approved monitoring plan.
Subtask 2.5 Prepare Summary Report Outlining Findings
This task will summarize all of the above information in a brief report and provide guidance
to Tukwila in how to best comply with the various DOH and USEPA requirements. The task
will include meetings between the City staff and HDR to discuss the issues and gain
comments on the report.
Deliverables:
HDR will develop the following deliverables:
1. A summary report describing:
A. Evaluation and conclusions for the following:
1) Identification of potential problems associated with corrosion control and
lead
2) Review of potential water quality issues associated with taste, disinfectant

A. Council Chambers Remodel Cabinetry. Carpentry and Painting Bid Award Six bids were
solicited from the Small Works Roster. Three did not respond, two declined and only one
submitted a proposal. This contract will include adding an approximate 5 -inch lip to the dais that
will have under mounted lights. The wood on the dais and beams will be stained darker but will
still show the wood grain. Multiple decorative glass panels will be installed behind the Council that
are 20- inches wide and 5 -6 ft tall and lit with fiber optic lights. An example of the glass panels can
be found at www.innovativealass.com and go to the fiber optic tab. The glass panels will have the
City seal and a landscape etching of mountains, streams and cranes. The contract also includes
rebuilding the bailiff and City Clerk desk to incorporate a movable jury box. The plan is to
complete the cabinetry off site and install Thursday night through the weekend for at least 3
weekends. Updated interior lights will also be installed and Pam L suggested checking the lights at
Council position 6 7, as it seems darker at that location. Ryan P. was familiar and pleased with
this contractor's work, who is based out of Burien. Unanimous recommendation to send bid of
$176,538.88 to COW for approval.
B. Adoption of 2005 Sewer System Plan Update The large bound plan was distributed at the
meeting and CDs are also available and will be distributed to the full Council. This is the six -year
update for the sewer plan and was approved for the first time by the Department of Ecology. We
have a good working relationship with DOE and they only had minor changes to the plan. Overall
this means we are good system operators. The sewer improvements are listed in Table 8 -1 on page
8 -2 and have been incorporated into the 2006 CIP. The water plan is also being updated and is
currently under review at King County but there is a delay with water rights and the Muckleshoot
Tribe. Unanimous recommendation to send Ordinance adopting the 2005 Sewer Plan Update
to COW for approval.
C. New Drinking Water Requirements from the USEPA Consultant Selection and Agreement
A
This is the unfunded mandate that was brought to the last UC meeting on 4/4/06. The EPA has
mandated that we set up and report on the City's water monitoring sites by October 1, 2006. The
only options are that we do nothing and have problems with the EPA, have the City of Seattle do it
for a fee, or we hire this consultant to do the report. Unanimous recommendation to send
Consultant Contract of $66,358 with HDR Engineering to COW for approval.
Other
Jim M distributed the flyers that will be handed out at the Allentown/Foster Pt Open House on
April 27, 2006. The flyers include one with all of the charges that will be assessed to each owner,
one with the breakdown of construction costs, and the third flyer includes the 3 payment plans; 5,
10 or 15 years for the proposed $15,000 connection charge. The breakdown of costs from the bid
award brings the estimated connection charge to $20,446.73, when we had an estimate of $15,000.
There was a lengthy discussion on if the City should set a precedent and keep the connection fee at
$15,000 or apply the charge of $20,446.73.
