1. 2003 Small Drainage Program Bid Award The 2003 project includes five projects and one
alternative. Of six bids, the lowest was from DL, Asahara for $279,519.44. The additive could
not be afforded at this time so is not included. References were somewhat inconclusive, as the
company references(which were good) were for landscaping and irrigation, not drainage work.
The engineer's base bid was $310,000, so the committee recommended project award. Award
small drainage proiect award to DL Asahara at a Reeular Meeting.
2. Infiltration and Inflow 2003 Manhole Repairs In March the City contracted with Pivetta
Brothers for work on three manhole repairs and related work. There was one change order. The
project final cost was.$47,749.35. The work is complete. Recommend contract acceptance and
release of retaina~e to Reeular Meeting consent agenda.
3. Cascade Water Alliance After analyzing the cost of buying water from Seattle in the future
versus what it might cost from Cascade Water Alliance, Public Works recommended proceeding
with Cascade Water. They estimated that their costs would be lower than Seattle's for the next
47 years. It's very difficult to estimate future costs and supply, but staffwas confident CWA
(Cascade) will be ahead in the long mn. The committee said they trusted staff's analysis.
Recommend staying the current course with Cascade.
4. Sewer Utility Rates Tukwila has not raised sewer rates since 1996, and in the past year or
two has 15ad to dip into the reserve account to pay for maintenance and operations (M & O).
Metro's portion of the sewer bill is $23.40, while the city portion of the bill is $5. Tukwila's
sewer charges are lower than other valley cities and districts. Staff recommended raising the
$28.40 rate by $2.00. The Committee was concerned whether even that would cover all the
sewer needs for M & O. We've used up half the reserve in paying maintenance costs. The water
and sewer pipes in the CBD were all installed in the 1960's and will all need replacing in the
next few years. The committee wanted to look at rates if not next year then at least in two more
years. They pointed out the City has merely passed on Metro cost increases in recent years, and
has absorbed some costs. Recommend sewer rate increase to COW.
5. Wet-Floodproofing Variance Though the main building at Starfire has been taken care of
for floodprooding, the concessionaire and restrooms have not. Staff recommended granting them
a variance for being in the floodplain. The committee members agreed that if the insurance was
ok with it, the City could be. Jim assured them a hold harmless motion.would be included, as
well as a requirement for a manual shut offof the sewage system in the event of a flood, loan
asked who would shut it off at 2 .am. Jim said he would work with Starfire to resolve issues like
that. Recommend variance.
