Subject: Trans -Valley Area Study Phase 2 Interlocal Agreement
Project No. 01 -RWO3
ISSUE
The Interlocal Agreement for Phase 2 of the Trans Valley Area Study is before Tukwila
City Council and Mayor for approval. Other jurisdictions party to this interlocal
agreement are: King County (lead) and Cities of SeaTac, Renton, and Kent.
BACKGROUND
In 2002, Phase 1 of the Trans Valley Area Study was completed. The first phase
provides background documentation, research, priority corridor identification, and
potential solution sets by corridor and by mode of travel. This Phase 1 work will provide
the basis and data for the Phase 2 Pre Design effort.
As Phase 1 was concluding, the partners in the Trans Valley Area Study all agreed that
further, more detailed work was still required to make an effective plan. At that time,
staff began the process of developing the attached Interlocal Agreement and the Draft
Scope of Work for Phase 2. The Interlocal Agreement is substantially similar to the first
Interlocal agreed to by the Mayor in 2001.
ANALYSIS
RECOMMENDATION
INFORMATION MEMO
The objective of the Phase 2 Interlocal Agreement is a multi jurisdictional
Implementation Plan that builds upon the Phase I Trans Valley Study. This effort will
develop an implementation plan that recommends a prioritized listing of multi -modal
projects that alleviate congestion and improve mobility within the Trans Valley Area.
Tukwila's cost for the work is $25,000, which is included in the 2003 -2008 Capital
Improvement Program approved by City Council on December 16, 2002.

1. Transit Projects
2. High- Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) projects
3. Freight Mobility projects
4. Roadway projects
5. Non Motorized projects
Deliverables: Mapped projects and tabular project lists.
Level of Effort in Duration: 2 weeks
1 TASK: WE 5 SYSTEM -WIDE LEVEL TRAFFIC MODEL
Objective:
The objective of this task is to develop a Trans Valley travel forecast model that will have the
capability to produce 2030 traffic volume forecasts on the network. The model will be used to
evaluate the actions recommended for each of the nine corridors within the Trans Valley study
area. The recommended actions in each corridor will be evaluated against the no action using the
Trans Valley Model. The focus of the modeling analysis will be to show the benefits of the
recommended actions in terms of traffic volumes and travel time changes.
Approach:
A. Definition of the recommended actions in each corridor
The Project Partners with the assistance of the Consultant Team will define the recommended
actions in each corridor at a level sufficient to input them into the model. The recommended
actions in each corridor will be defined in terms of the number of traffic lanes and their project
limits. Any special treatment at intersections or roadways will be clearly described.
Exhibit A Page 4 of 7 5/1/03
B. Trans Valley Model development
The Consultant will use the existing King County model methodology and the Puget Sound
Regional Council (PSRC) regional models to develop the 2030 Trans Valley Model. King
County's model zone structure will be used as the basis to develop the Trans- Valley Model. The
Trans Valley Model will be a PM peak model having the capability to forecast 2030 traffic
conditions within the Trans Valley study area.
The Trans Valley Model will be validated with the most recent PM peak hour traffic counts.
To develop the 2030 Trans Valley Model, the Consultant Team will carry out the following
tasks:
The consultant will obtain the most current 2030 land use forecasts from King County that
will correspond to the King County model zone system, if they are available. If the 2030 land
use forecasts in the King County zone system are not available, the Consultant will use the
PSRC land use growth forecasts between 2020 and 2030 within the study area. Growth
factors will be applied to the King County 2020 land use tables to project 2030 employment
and households at the King County model zone system. The Consultant will then run a trip
generation model to develop 2030 trip tables, and make model traffic assignments.
C. No Action Regional/Local Network
The Project Partners with the assistance of the Consultant Team will discuss and make decisions
on the 2030 regional network. As a starting point of the discussion, the Consultant Team will
bring a list of the regional facility improvements in the Puget Sound Regional Council's 2030
regional transportation plan that may affect the travel patterns in the study area, including I -405,
SR 167,1-5 and SR 518. Upon the completion of this effort, the regional network will be fixed
for the 2030 Trans Valley model.
The Consultant Team will review the transportation plans of each jurisdiction and develop a table
indicating whether construction funding for each improvement has been or is likely to be
secured. The Partners will review this table. The purpose of this exercise is to define the future
baseline network within the study area.
D. No Action Forecast
Combining the 2030 regional network and study area baseline network, and using 2030 PM peak
hour trip tables, the Consultant Team will make the 2030 no action travel forecast. The
consultant will "post- process" the forecast volumes from the model to produce consistent link
volumes in the network. The 2030 travel times from the model will be compared with the 2002
model travel times.
E. Recommended Actions in Each Corridor
Exhibit A Page 5 of 7 5/1/03
The Consultant Team will prepare a set of 2030 networks with the recommended improvements
within each priority corridor. Each of the nine corridors will be modeled separately. The link
volumes from the each model run will be post processed.
The Consultant Team will compare the volumes and travel times of the recommended
improvements with those of the no action in each corridor. The consultant will repeat this
process for all nine corridors.
F. Summary Report
The Consultant Team will summarize in a technical report the 2030 no action conditions and
2030 conditions with the recommended improvements for the nine corridors. The report will be
used to evaluate the effectiveness of the recommended actions in each corridor and to prioritize
those actions.
Deliverables:
A technical report summarizing the following:
2002 PM peak hour travel conditions focusing on the nine corridors
Description of the process used to develop the Trans Valley 2030 Model
2030 No Action travel conditions link volumes and travel time from the model
2030 Action vehicle volumes and travel times in each of the nine corridors
Evaluation in term of volume and travel time of the recommended actions
Level of Effort in Duration: 18 weeks
1 TASK: WE 6 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BY CORRIDOR
Objectives: Develop an implementation plan that focuses in on the high priority projects. The
implementation objectives are:
1. Funding Feasibility
2. Funding Opportunities
3. Timing with other projects
a. Short-term (six years or Iess)
b. Long -term (greater than six years)

2. Lead Agency
3. Suggested Implementation Year
Objectives: Provide ways of engaging stakeholders (Partners Transportation
Committees /Councils) and elected officials (SCATBd) in the process of selecting the best project
level solutions for the four high priority corridors.
1. Specific objectives: Communicate to the stakeholders and elected officials the project's
purpose; need for the project, proposed solutions and potential issues.
2. Document decisions reached during the pre design phase.
Approach: The study team will utilize public outreach information collected during the Phase I
of the Trans Valley Area Study and incorporate this information into identified project
improvements. Once the project level improvements are developed, the project partners and
team will host stakeholder working session(s) with SCATBd and each Partners Transportation
committee's to solicit input regarding improvement proposals. With this feedback, further
refinements will be made to the project improvement packages.
Deliverables:
Participation in 6 Project Team Partner Coordination Meetings
2 Meetings with SCATBd
5 Meetings Partners Transportation committees/Councils
Level of Effort in Duration: 6 mos.

2. S. 118th St BAR Bridges Painting Contract Chafer Painting Company of Sea Tac has
finished their project of repairing and painting the S. 118' Street Duwamish ped bridge and
minor painting on Boeing Access Road (BAR). Pam asked about the cost underrun, and Robin
said it was because not as much property restoration was needed as planned, and paint testing
and disposal were not problems. Recommend nroiect completion to consent agenda of a
Regular Meeting.
3. Painting Proiects Bid Award The city has some miscellaneous painting projects plus
painting the Tukwila Library and Minkler shops. Washington Industrial Coatings won the bid
to do the work for $61,221.76. Their bid was lower than ten other bidders. Staff said their
recommendations were fine, and they had done a walk through of the projects before they bid,
so they felt comfortable about the firm's ability to do the job well. Recommend bid award to
Regular Meeting.
4. Transit Plan Survey A transit plan will be folded into the city's Urban Center Study,
which will be used to update the comprehensive plan. Petted Engineering will do the study,
and a sample survey was discussed. They plan to survey bus and train riders for two days eight
hours /day this week. Metro has been asked to comment on the survey questions. Jim said 120
people get off the Sounder train in Tukwila. Dennis had several comments to make. He thought
the place of trip origin should be added, and the length of the trip. The committee agreed those
were reasonable things to ask. He was also concerned with finding people who did not ride the
bus, and finding what might make them ride. Brian said this survey will show existing
conditions, and will establish a baseline to plan for the future from. Jim added that they are
asking if this is the most efficient bus target they can have; planning how to get future riders
will come later. Information.
5. Trans Vallev Area Phase 2 Interlocal Phase 1 of this study was done last year. It showed
what the conditions currently are for the valley transportation, and proposed potential solutions
for specific corridor problems. More work will be done on this in Phase 2. It will develop an
implementation plan for improving mobility in the Trans Valley area. The cities of SeaTac,
Renton, Tukwila and Kent, plus King County are all involved in the study. Tukwila's portion of
the study will cost $25,000. Recommend authorizing mayor's signature on interlocal to
Regular Meeting of the City Council.
