1. Tukwila Urban Center Transportation Plan Additional work is needed on the Tukwila
Urban Center (TUC) Plan. Mirai Associates have been working on the Plan since 2002. Staff
knew these changes would be needed since 2003. As the Plan was originally going to be done in
one year, additional work is needed now. The time elapsed since 2002 as well as the public
comments have meant more studies and more project management are needed. Additional funds
of $44,533 are requested to pay for additional workshop meetings, and traffic studies of both the
TUC and Mall to Pond scenarios. No action and peak hour projections will be included. When
the studies are done they will be very useful in several ways. The contract is written to run until
December, 2005, but it is likely to be done in the spring of that year. Recommend Contract
Supplement and funding request to Regular Meeting.
2. S. 180 Street Project Acceptance The project at S. 180 won several awards including an
American Public Works 2004 Project of the Year nomination. The project was originally bid
over budget, but Bob Giberson volunteered to act as construction manager, thereby saving
substantial funds and bringing the project in slightly under budget. It is now ready for
acceptance by the City and release of the retainage. Recommend project acceptance to consent
agenda of a Regular Meeting.
3. Tukwila International Boulevard (TIBI Bid Award Street trees were added to this stage of
development of TIB because they couldn't be added when the State owned the highway. Now
that the City owns that section of TIB we are ready to plant. Two bids on the small works roster
were received, with the lower bid being under budget and being won by Buckley Nursery. A drip
irrigation system will also be installed. The Committee wanted to be sure the tree leaves
wouldn't clog the drains. Norway Maples and incense cedars will be planted in January. Award
bid for trees to Buckley Nursery for $99,253.02 at a Regular Meeting.,
/4. Tukwila International Boulevard Mid Block Crossings Bid Award Two mid block
crossings will be added to the Phase I section of TIB. One is by the Bartell's lot and Northfield
Car Wash and the other is at S. 150 near the new KFC. The crossings will be activated by
pedestrians walking, and the lights will flash in the pavement. This project was bid in the small
works roster, and Totem Electric won the bid that came in under budget. This project will be
done between January and March, 2005 after the special poles are purchased. Award bid for
$126.980.50 to Totem Electric for mid block crossings in Phase 1 at a Regular Meeting.
