Utilities Committee February 22, 2006 Present: Jim Haggerton, Chair; Pam Linder, Verna Griffm Jim Morrow, Frank Iriarte, Bob Giberson, Pat Brodm, Gail Labanara, Mike Cusick, Chuck Parrish, A. Time Warner Telecom Franchise Agreement The current franchise agreement with Time Warner expired, so we are renewing the original location along Interurban Ave Sand addmg the new service area along E Marginal Wy S. This is a very simple project and Time Warner already has a major customer lined up. Pam was concerned about the public perception ofthe process and wanted a disclaimer in the memo that stated that we couldn't deny an agreement without stringent terms. Jim H. also requested that the ",date of application be added so that there is no confusion of processing the application within the\ 120-day limit. Unanimous recommendation to send Ordinance to COW and Regular meeting for approval. B. Maule Ave/Campbell HilI! 58th Ave S Waterlines Project Bid Award This project was originally bid last year and there were no bids. This year we received nine bids with the low bidder ~ well under the Engineer's Estimate. Jim H asked why so low and Jim M explained that as the lowest bidder was $1 OOk under the next bidder, we requested verification. Buno said that the bid ~ . was good and is ready to do the work. Buno has traditionaliy underbid projects in the area and is currently working in Skyway and Burien with good references. Unanimous recommendation to send bid award to COW and Regular meeting for approyal. C. Cascade Water alliance Update and South Supply Option Letter to Kent Pat and Jim H gave a brief overview of the history of CW A to get Verna up to speed. The City joined CW A as our wholesale water contract with Seattle expires in 2012 and there was no guarantee that Seattle would renew it. The eight cities then formed CW A and are now in the process of getting a $50 million bond to start the fmancing ofthe pipeline projects from Tacoma (Second Supply) and also future water supply from Lake Tapps from PSE. Pat wanted it clear that our water rates will increase significantly to cover the CW A capital expenses (in addition to the current RCFCs). Pam asked for a definition of "wheeling" and Pat explained that if we negotiate to buy water from Tacoma, we have to pay Kent for the use of the pipes and possible storage to get it to Tukwila. Our goal is to have a loop system for all of the water so that if there is an emergency, we can shut down at one location but feed it from another. The draft letter from the City is looking at using the current emergency intertie with Kent as an additional supply that adds redundancy. Discussed WD 125 and Foster Point. Jim also explained that the City is responsible to report out the emergency operations on all separate utilities and the school district as they are within the boundary of our City. Some cities have refused to report, so hopefully things will change in Olympia. Jim M said that it would be better if all the utilities were under the City and not separate districts.
