II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Foster Golf Links Reclaimed Water Pipeline: Proiect Completion and Acceptance
Staff is seeking Council approval for formal project completion, acceptance and release of retainage to
Precision Earthworks, Inc. for the Foster Golf Links Reclaimed Water Pipeline project.
Two change orders were issued during this project, both of which were related to design issues with the
County's plan. Even with change orders, the project came in under budget due to cost under runs. King
County will reimburse the City for full construction costs. Staff reported that some in -kind City services
were also utilized; for example, City staff wrote the project specifications. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO MAY 17 CONSENT AGENDA.
