From:

Subject:
ISSUE
Approve two separate Interlocal Agreements with Water District 125 and Val Vue Sewer District to
construct utility upgrades as part of the Cascade View Drainage Improvement project.
BACKGROUND
The design of this project is now complete and ready for construction. This project will construct
approximately 8,500 linear feet of street and drainage improvements within City right-of-ways in the
Cascade View neighborhood. Water District 125 and Val Vue Sewer District are planning upgrades to
their systems within the project limits and would like to incorporate their upgrades as part of the City
project to reduce costs and construction impacts.
ANALYSIS
Water District 125's and Val Vue's planned utility upgrades can either be constructed concurrently or
after the Cascade View Drainage Improvement project is complete. If constructed concurrently with
the City project, temporary pavement restoration will be required and possible delays may occur to the
City project. If the planned utility upgrades are constructed following the City improvements, then no
work could take place for a period of three years and extensive pavement restoration would be
required. Jt is mutually beneficial to the City, the residents within the project limits, Water District 125
and Val Vue to construct the City and utility project as one City administered project with
reimbursement from the utilities for their improvements.
Two Interlocal Agreements have been prepared by the City's consultant, approved by Water District
125 and Val Vue Sewer District, and reviewed by the City Attorney's Office to formalize each party's
responsibilities. These agreements allow the Utility Districts to not construct their upgrades under the
City project if unfavorable bids are received but still requires the Utility to reimburse the City for costs
incurred to date and requires them to construct their improvements without causing delay to the City
project.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the two Interlocal Agreements with Water District 125 and Val Vue Sewer
District.

1. Strander Blvd Storm Water Pump Station and Road Bid Award A project to replace the
gravity stonn drainage line along Strander Blvd between Andover Park East and the Green River
is needed. Flooding currently exceeds the pipe's capacity, and a larger pipe will replace the
current facilities and a new pump station will be built. Errors were found in the two lowest bid
prices, so the third lowest bidder is the bid award recipient. Because the cost was higher than
anticipated, funds from neighborhood drainage and future GIS mapping will be used to
supplement the project budget. The contractor is Frank Coluccio and the cost is $1.566 million.
Recommend bid award to COW and Re~lar Meetings.
2 Strander Blvd. Storm Water Pump Station and Road Construction Services If they had
time staff would supply the contract project management for this project. Due to their high
workload, they negotiated an agreement with Penhallegon Associates for the work. Public Works
already has a contract with Penhallegon to provide design. One supplement is for additional
design work for $18,425 and the second supplement is for construction management for
$204,386.00. Information only.

3. Cascade View Drainage Improvement Project Both Water District 125 and Val Vue have
projects they would like to do to coincide with the city's street and drainage work in Cascade
View. The city has prepared interlocal agreements with both utilities. The city will incorporate
the utility work into the city project for the Val Vue Sewer district, but the bid was too high for
Water District 125, so they will be responsible for their own work. The two interlocal
agreements spell out the responsibility of both utilities and the city's responsibilities.
Recommend two interlocal agreements to COW and Council for approval.
4. Cascade View Drainage Project Bid Award The Cascade View Drainage project was bid
in February and early March of this year. Three bids were received, and the lowest bid was
accepted. The project budget was $4~2 million, and the lowest bid was $3.96 million. SCI was
the low bidder. The city has worked with this contractor on many projects throughout the city,
including S. 134th, S. 160th and East Marginal Way. Val Vue Sewer work in Item 2 will be
completed for $76,704 bringing the total bid award to $4,039,204.00. Recommend bid award to
SCI Infrastructure for $4.039.204 to COW and Re~lar Meetings.
5. Cascade View Drainage Construction Management Services The city first had a contract
with KPG for design ofthe Cascade View Drainage in 2003. The city staff will provide
construction engineering for the project, and KPG will provide construction engineering
assistance. Information only.
