Consultant Recommendation and Agreement
ISSUE
Approve CH2M Hill, Inc. to complete an update to the City's Surface Water Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila has a Surface Water Comprehensive Plan that identifies individual drainage basins,
flow control maps, existing and upcoming regulations, known system deficiencies, and proposed capital
improvement projects to address deficiencies. The plan was last updated in 2003.
Since the development of this plan, the City has completed many of the identified capital improvement
projects, has additional system information developed using a GIS inventory, annexed the Tukwila South
area, and regulations have changed to meet the National Pollution Elimination System permit
requirements.
DISCUSSION
Public Works maintenance and engineering staff reviewed the current plan for deficiencies and compiled
a list of items that should be included in an updated Surface Water Comprehensive Plan.
The current consultant roster was reviewed and four firms were short- listed with experience developing
utility comprehensive plans. The firms were RW Beck, CH2M Hill, Parametrix, and Perteet. Each firm
submitted Summaries of Qualification and were evaluated and scored. CH2M Hill was selected as the
firm that best met the requirements of this type of project. CH2M Hill completed the 2003 Surface Water
Comprehensive Plan and has extensive experience with utility plan development.
It is recommended that CH2M Hill complete an update to the Surface Water Comprehensive Plan for a
fee of $141,036.00.

1. Project Description provide a brief description of the project that summarizes what you will
do, how you will do it, and why you will do it. Consider the following in the answer to this
question: what pressing need will be addressed by the project or what promising opportunity will
be capitalized on? Who or what will benefit or be positively and negatively affected?
This grant will help pay for the design and permitting of an estuary restoration project on the
Duwamish River in Tukwila. In the future, construction phase, the City of Tukwila will create
substitute shallow water habitat on a 2.16 acre site (and on adjacent Washington State aquatic
lands) on the right bank of the Duwamish River immediately downstream of river mile 7.0.
The project site is in the high priority "transition zone" between fresh and salt water, which provides
the appropriate range of salinities for juvenile Chinook and chum to transition to salt water. Off
channel and shallow water habitats in this stretch of the Duwamish will provide opportunities for
juvenile fish to move out of the main channel to habitats where they can feed and rear Longer
residence times in the estuary allow for larger, healthier smolts prior to ocean migration, thereby
increasing survival rates. The property is among the largest remaining pieces of lightly developed
sites for habitat restoration remaining in the Duwamish corridor.
The new habitat will be created by excavating 55,000 cubic yards of material to establish
approximately 2.0 acres of shallow water mudflat and marsh habitat and approximately 0,8 acre of
uplands planted with native vegetation
When restored, Duwamish Gardens will be the largest off channel habitat between the Codiga Farms
restoration at river mile 8.5 and North Wind's Weir restoration at river mile 6 4. This project is nearly
identical in purpose and design to the North Winds Weir estuary restoration, another project
supported by the Conservation District.
The project will provide another viewpoint on the river ac, ;ss from the popular Green River Ti =ail
The viewpoint will include interpretive signs on the pre contact use, historical, and ecological features
Member Jurisdiction WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application July 21, 2008 Page 1 of 7
of the site. The project is immediately below the Sound Transit LINK light rail bridge and viewed by
thousands of riders each day
The Conservation District has supported previous phases of this project including:
"Duwamish Gardens Negotiations 2007 $15,000 for property negotiations
"Duwamish Gardens Acquisition 2007 $225,000 for property acquisition
2. Natural Resource Improvement Actions describe how the project will address a
minimum of one of the natural resource improvement actions described on page 1 of the
application instructions. Consider the following in your answer to this question: What
natural resources will be improved? What are the known needs, gaps or deficits that will
be addressed? What are the known benefits to soil, water, air, plants, fish and wildlife,
landowners?
Direct Improvement of Natural Resource Conditions: The goal of the Duwamish Gardens estuary
restoration project the ultimate outcome of the planning /permitting step is to directly restore
transition zone estuarine habitat in the Duwamish Estuary, with the intent of improving salmonid
habitat within the Green Duwamish River system as a whole This project will:
protect and improve riparian vegetation,
expand and enhance vegetated shallow subtidal and intertidal habitats and brackish marshes,
and
enlarge the Duwamish River estuarine transition zone habitat.
The resulting off channel, intertidal marsh will provide critically important transitional habitat where
juvenile salmonids will feed, rest, and osmoregulate (adjust to salt water) prior to heading
downstream to the marine nearshore.
Duwamish Gardens restoration is being undertaken to implement Policy MS -1 in the WRIA 9 Salmon
Habitat Plan: Making Our Watershed Fit for a Kinq.
The focus of management action implementation efforts in this Habitat Plan will be on the
following distinct habitats that are limiting viable salmonid populations in WRIA 9'
Duwamish Estuary transition zone habitat [emphasis added],
Middle Green River, Lower Green River, Duwamish Estuary, Marine Nearshore rearing
habitat; and
Middle Green and upper Lower Green River spawning habitat.
Because of the importance of the transition zone and the negative effect on habitat recovery
efforts upstream if a severe transition zone habitat limitation does exist, 40% of funding for
management action recovery efforts will be focused on the transition zone [emphasis
added]. (page 5 -16)
The habitat feature most needed in the Lower Duwamish for salmon recovery is muditat within the
entire intertidal range between -4 and +12 ft Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), with an emphasis on
mudflats in the low intertidal between -4 to +4 ft MLLW. These mudflats should have a relatively
shallow grade, a silt/clay to fine sand substrate, and be unvegetated.
Also needed and complementing mudflats are
Low marsh from +5.5 to +10.0 ft. MLLW, vegetated with aquatic vascular plants, and
High marsh from +10.0 to +12.0 ft MLLW, vegetated with aquatic va :,cuiar plants and terrestrial
plants
Member Jurisdiction WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application July 18, 2008 Page 2 of 7
Consequently, the objectives of this habitat substitution project are to construct an off channel habitat
that consists of.
Up to 1.5 acres of shallow -water mudflat at elevation 0 feet +5.6 ft. (NAVD 88). The majority of
this will be excavated on the 2.16 acres of upland owned by the City of Tukwila with the balance
to be created by re- grading river bottom owned by Washington State Department of Natural
Resources.
a Approximately 0.5 acres of fringing, emergent marsh at elevation +5 6 ft +9 ft.
Approximately 0.8 acres of upland side slope at elevation +9 ft,
Area figures are based on conceptual design calculations and subject to change during design The
bias will be to focus on mudflat habitat, however, as that is the habitat structure thought to be most
needed in the transition zone.
The Duwamish Gardens project helps implement priority WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan: Makino Our
Watershed Fit for a Kina project DUW -7 (page 7 -90).
Thanks to in -kind services provided by the Washington Department of Fish Wildlife (WDFW), the
conceptual design for this project was completed at no cost to the project proponent or local funders.
The conceptual design process explored two alternative layouts, different slopes, and calculated
volumes of materials to excavate. This analysis, completed in early 2010, allowed the project team
to identify a preferred layout. The WDFW analysis and conceptual plans are attached to this
application.
Not doing this project will forego the opportunity to create a meaningful (4 -5 increase in high
quality mudflat habitat in the Duwamish. Moreover, because of its location in the heart of the
transition zone, where the highest concentrations of juvenile outmigrants have been observed, the
per square foot benefit of the project to juvenile salmonids should be relatively high. Not doing the
project would mean the watershed would not advance toward its estuary habitat creation objectives
that are necessary to meeting the Viable Salmonid Population goals for WRIA 9.

4. Effectiveness (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) describe how the
project will effectively implement the natural resource improvement measures identified
in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: Why is
the primary applicant the best entity to deliver the proposed
program /service /intervention? What is the capacity of the primary applicant to deliver
the proposed program /service /intervention? What tools, services and partners will be

The City of Tukwila has experience as a sponsor and partner in projects of this type or scale,
including:
Codiga Off Channel Salmon Habitat Restoration in partnership with the U.S Army Corps of
Engineers
Tukwila 205 Levee Repair with the U S. Army Corps of Engineers
Managing design and construction of significant Capital Improvement Projects including the
South 180th St grade separation, Tukwila International Blvd roadway improvements, Cascade
View Neighborhood roadway and drainage improvements, and Souhcenter Parkway extension
The project manager will be Ryan Larson, Senior Stormwater Engineer, with 11 years of experience
at the City
Member Jurisdiction WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application July 18, 2008 Page 4 of 7
The City currently owns the property so there is no uncertainty about use or access The property
does have deed restrictions limiting its use for restoration. These restrictions were placed at the time
of acquisition as a condition of receipt of grant funding
5. Efficiency (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) describe how the
project will efficiently implement the natural resource improvement measures identified
in question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: How will
the proposed program /service/ intervention engage in conjunction with related efforts?
How does your strategy best leverage resources?
The Duwamish Gardens estuary restoration project will build on the successful habitat restoration
projects completed to date in the "transition zone" of the Duwamish estuary, including
City Light South shoreline restoration in the Turning Basin (City of Seattle: completed 2007)
Kenco Marine intertidal restoration in the Turning Basin (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe: completed
2006)
Port of Seattle intertidal restoration in the Turning Basin (Port of Seattle* completed 1998)
Cecil Moses Park intertidal, off channel restoration at river mile 6.3 (King County: completed
2003)
North Wind's Weir intertidal, off channel restoration at river mile 6.3 (King County and Army
Corps of Engineers* completed 2010)
Codiga Farms off channel restoration at river mile 8 4 (Tukwila and Army Corps of Engineers:
completed 2004)
Construction of Duwamish Gardens is a necessary step to improve the functioning of the estuary for
outmigrating juvenile salmonids, especially Chinook and chum. Improving the estuary will maximize
the return on natural resource /habitat investments upstream by increasing survival rates of fish
produced in Soos and Newaukum Creeks and the Green River mainstem as they undergo the
smoltification process that allows them to transition to their marine life history.
The project will benefit from the knowledge gained at these previous projects, most importantly the
very similar North Wind's Weir estuary restoration (also supported by the Conservation District).
Specific information that will be reused or updated, thereby saving time and money, include:
Soils stability report from North Wind's Weir (soil conditions are thought to be very similar)
Hydraulics and Hydrologic "H &H analysis from North Wind's Weir
Construction cost estimates from North Wind's Weir
Emergent marsh plant design and elevation information from North Wind's Weir and Codiga
restoration.
Like the North Wind's Weir project, funding of the acquisition, planning, permitting, and construction
phases relies on a partnership approach. For the current planning /permitting phase, the requested
amount of $52,929.34 from the Conservation District will leverage $127,353 from the state Salmon
Recovery Funding Board. A further $60,000 is required to complete the planning /permitting phase
This additional funding may come from the City of Tukwila's KCD accumulated allocations, City
revenue, other grant sources, or a combination of these sources For context and evidence of
leveraging to date, the Conservation District investment of $240,000 in the acquisition phase of
Duwamish Gardens leveraged $1,868,500 from federal, state, and other local sources.
6. Equity (see page 2 of application instructions for definition) describe how the project
will equitably implement the natural resource improvement measures identified in
question No. 2 above. Consider the following in your answer to this question: In what
part of the District will the proposed program /service /intervention occur? Who is the
target audience and what demographic section of the community will be affected?
Member Jurisdiction WRIA Forum Grant Program, Application July 18, 2008 Page 5 of 7
The Duwamish Gardens project is located in the Duwamish Estuary Subwatershed of the
Green /Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9).
The property is located in an industrial /commercial area of the city of Tukwila. It will act as an open
space feature in a string of habitats along the river The City of Tukwila is concentrating on open
space in the northern half of the city along the river because of the combined benefits for ecological
values, salmon recovery, and recreation. During the final, construction phase, a short path leading to
an overlook of the restored habitat portion of the site will be constructed. As indicated by
development of social trails at other sites along the river, there is greater demand for passive
recreation opportunities than available properties.
The property is across the river from and easily viewed from the Interurban Regional Trail. The
restored site will be easily accessible from the Interurban Trail via the pedestrian friendly East
Marginal Way South bridge. Trail users probably represent a wide range of incomes and include
people from across the southern King County region. The nearest residential community is
immediately southeast of the site and across the river and is lower- to middle- income.
When restored, this site will include educational and interpretive signs explaining the importance of
the river to Indian people in pre- settlement times and the farmers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Signs also will explain the ecological features of the site and the reasons for restoration. The Sound
Transit LINK light rail line crosses the Duwamish at the east end of the property. The restored site
will have exceptional visibility as thousands of LINK passengers each day will gaze on the site as
they glide over the Duwamish River.
In 2007 and 2008, discussions with the adjacent property owner revealed that the Duwamish
Gardens project could potentially have a significant negative impact on the neighbor, who leases his
property to a trucking company. This impact would have occurred because the movement landward
of the shoreline through restoration also would shift the 200 foot jurisdiction of the Shoreline
Management Act landward. This shift in jurisdiction would have brought more of the neighbor's
property under provisions that would have increased permitting costs and reduced possible land
uses, and thus his property value. In response to this potentiality (and a similar situation downstream
at North Wind's Weir estuary restoration), Tukwila teamed up with WRIA 9 staff, The Boeing
Company, People For Puget Sound, and the Washington State Department of Ecology to push for
passage of an amendment to the Shoreline Management Act during the 2009 legislative session
This effort paid off with unanimous passage of House Bill 2199. The bill allows local governments
such as Tukwila to grant regulatory relief to neighboring properties when a restoration project in an
Urban Growth Area moves the Ordinary High Water Mark landward. As a result of this legislation
and proposed changes in the city's Shoreline Master Program, the Duwamish Gardens project
should have no negative regulatory impacts to the neighboring property (It also should have no
negative ecological or drainage impacts.) Based on the popularity of the very similar North Wind's
Weir estuary restoration with the employees at neighboring businesses some of whom raised
$1,100 to install boulder benches on the site the project may be seen as an amenity benefiting
neighboring land uses.
7. Evaluation of Intended Results describe the evaluation mechanisms you will use to
track, document, and report that the project has achieved the intended results described
in questions 1- 3.
Because the purpose of this grant is to develop plans and permits that will allow the final,
construction phase, evaluation of grant- funded activities is straightforward Various designs, cost
estimates, and permit applications will be prepared as set forth in the response to Question 3
Progress reports and final reports will summarize the deliverables and electronic copies of each
deliverable will be attached to the reports Measures to monitor and track changes to the ecosystem
as a result of the constructed project will be determined during the design phase
