Bid Award
ISSUE
Award the bid for construction of the 2004 Annual Overlay and Repair Program.
BACKGROUND
This project will provide roadway repairs and overlays on the following street segments:
Olympic Ave S (Riverside to Glacier) Todd Bird (Olympic to West Valley Hwy)
Strander Bird (River to West Valley Hwy) 57a Ave S (S 144~ St to 14100 BIk)
Ryan Way (MLK Jr Way to 51~t Ave S)
The project was advertised for bids for two weeks and bids were opened April 1, 2004. Four bids
were received with the low bid of $727,940.00 from Watson Asphalt Paving Company. The
engineer's estimate was $892,400.00. Highline Water District has requested that the City postpone
the overlay and repair of 43~ Ave S because of a 2005 water main replacement project, for savings
of approximately $30,000.
ANALYSIS
All bids were checked and tabulated and no errors were found. Watson Asphalt Paving Company
provided references for jobs of similar scope and size and has performed work successfully in
Tukwila. All references contacted provided positive recommendations for Watson Asphalt Paving
Company's work.

The low bid is within the available budget and contingency. Budget includes $250,000 for the
overlay of Strander Blvd (Andover Park E to Green River) and is being designed as part of the
Strander Blvd Drainage project. If the Strander Diainage project can not be constructed this year

Re: City of Tukwila 2004 Overlay Proqram
43'~ Ave. S. From S. 160t~ St. to North to End
Dear Mr. Giberson:
It has been brought to the District's attention through your consultant KPG that the City intends
to overlay the above-referenced roadway in Late Spring/Early Summer 2004. The water main
located there is on our list to be replaced in the near future.
We are writing to request that you delay the overlay on 43'd Ave. S. Due to budget constraints,
the District cannot commit to replacing the main at this time, however, we may be able to
replace the main by the end of this year or in early 2005. We believe it would be in the best
interests of our respective entities and the property owners along 43rd Ave. S.
Also, we would like to inquire if you would be interested in splitting the cost of the paving, since
the overlay has already been scheduled.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at (206) 824-
0375, Ext. 102.
Very Truly Yours,
Thomas D. Keown, ~.E.

1. Transportation Concurrency and Impact Fees Since a lawsuit has prevented the City from
imposing impact mitigation fees recently, staff if anxious to update the mitigation fee list and to
base it on reliable criteria. Cyndy explained that since the last meeting where this was discussed
she did reduce the former highest cost-per-trip amount from $12,900 to $2,500 based on the
Committee's request. A justification for impact fees based on the RCWs was followed by an
explanation of the method of first deciding whether the fees were needed, and if so, applying the
correct impact fees. Cyndy led the Committee through the columns on a table of draft impact
fees. They understood that the peak volume of traffic used to multiply the cost/trip was
calculated through subtracting the modeled peak volumes from 1990 to 2010. The fee is a one-
time cost. The City or consultant does a transportation study to determine peak volumes. The
fees will be paid until the impact fee amount is paid off. Right now the 1990 numbers are being
used, but this will be an interim ordinance and methodology. In the next year, more analysis and
different methods of determining costs will be done, and a more final version will be proposed.
Pam asked if anyone had stopped their development because of impact fees, and Cyndy said they
had not. Joan asked how the City judges traffic at a redeveloped site, and Cyndy said the
transportation study will say if there is more or less traffic than before, and charge (or not)
accordingly. The Committee wanted the Council to have plenty of time to digest this complex
issue. Refer issue to that evening's meeting; reschedule.
2. Green River Signal Interconnect King County is installing cameras and intemonnects in the
South end. Tukwila has already put in some fiber optic line, and is ready to install some more to
complete much of the CBD wiring, The City can use our program as a match to the County's
putting in cameras and fiber optic. The bids we got were lower than the engineer's estimate, but
the lowest bidder neglected to include Washington State sales tax, and was disqualified. The
second lowest bidder was Totem Electric of Tacoma. King County is ready to move ahead with
their project, so awakding this bid is important to do in a timely manner. Staffhad maps showing
where only fiber optic would be placed, and where both fiber and intercormect cable wires would
be put in. Forward bid award to COW and Special Meetin~ that evening.
3. 2004 Overlay Program By getting bids out before the big construction season starts the City
saves money on the bids. Watson Asphalt was the low bidder for this years' projects. One
project on thi's year's list was 43ra Ave. S. from 160th tO the end, but Highline requested that it
not be done because they are planning to do some improvemefits in the street soon. Strander also
may not be able to be done because of the surface water project near there. Instead the City may
substitute some streets below S. 180th in the Segale Business Park area. Recommend bid award
to Watson Asphalt for $727~940.00 to Council.
