II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila International Blvd Phases II III Construction Mgmt Supplement #8 with KPG
Staff is seeking full Council approval for Supplement No. 8 with KPG, Inc. in the amount $181,903.40.
This supplement is for additional construction management by KPG and their sub consultants as the other
construction management firm, Harris and Associates, are not fulfilling their contract. This grant- funded
supplement will be covered by the anticipated savings from the under utilized Harris contract. The
supplement also covers adding a pedestrian access stairwell at the 37 Ave S road closure. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 22 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Resolution Setting Street Vacation Public Hearing Date for 14403 51s Ave S
Staff is seeking full Council approval to set a Public Hearing date for the proposed street vacation at 14403
51s Ave S for April 26, 2010. A previous street vacation request was submitted in 2002, but a change in
ownership caused it to be dropped. The process for street vacations includes a resolution to set a Public
Hearing date, advertise and hold the Public Hearing, and then return to Committee and Council with the
ordinance that defines the street vacation's conditions and compensation ($27,000.00). UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 22 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Transportation Element Update to the Comprehensive Plan. Supplement No.1 with Fehr Peers
Staff is seeking full Council approval for Supplement No. 1 for Optional Task A with Fehr Peers. The
original contract was approved February 1, 2010 (see 1/19/10 TC minutes) and the EETP grant was
approved March 15, 2010 (see 3/1/10 TC minutes). The Fehr Peers supplement for $55,000.00 and
$14,500.00 of City staff time will be covered by the $69,500.00 EETP grant. The supplement will add
pedestrian and bike level of service analysis for arterial streets in the City as well as establish a multi -modal
transportation system. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 22 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
D. Tukwila Urban Center Access (Klickitatl, Supplement No. 9 with HNTB
Staff is seeking full Council approval for Supplement No. 9 with HNTB in the amount of $553,816.00. This
supplement will cover the design changes required by WSDOT. Staff is currently pursuing Letters of
Understanding with WSDOT for the final design, which may reduce the scope of work in this supplement.
The project schedule now shows a two -year construction timeline. There is $400,000 budgeted for
additional design, so remaining funds would come from the LID. Due to time constraints and WSDOT
negotiations, staff requests discussion and approval at the 3/22 C.O.W. and the Special meeting that same
night. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 22 COW AND SPECIAL THAT SAME
NIGHT FOR DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL.
