A. Bid Award Duwamish Riverbend Hill
Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a bid to Terra Dynamics, Inc. in the amount of $160,800.75
for Duwamish Riverbend Hill Phase I irrigation and landscaping.
Cascade Land Conservancy utilized grants to fund Phase I site development and trail making. Now those
funds are exhausted and City staff is recommending completion of irrigation work and hydro seeding
onsite. The nine bids received were all under the Engineer's estimate of $252, 945. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 22 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Foster Golf Course Fee Increase
Staff is requesting full Council approval of a resolution to increase green fees at Foster Golf Links. The
draft resolution proposes increases between $0.50 to $2.00 with no increase for cart rentals. The last fee
increase at Foster Golf Links was in 2008 when Council approved a $1.00 increase in weekday 18 -hole
rates and weekend 9 -hole rates; and a $2.00 increase in weekend 18 -hole rates and weekday 9 -hole rates.
The 2010 green fee increase is anticipated to raise revenue by approximately $50,000. Committee Member
Hernandez identified the need for clarification in identification of the 18 and 9 -hole Senior Resident rates.
