TO: Mayor Haggerton
UTILITIES COMMITTEE
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: February 9, 2011
SUBJECT: Storm Lift Station No. 15 Improvements
Project No. 91041203
Consultant Recommendation and Agreement
ISSUE
Approve a Consultant Agreement with PACE Engineers, Inc. to design pump station improvements.
BACKGROUND
Storm Lift Station No. 15 drains approximately 200 acres of the northern portion of the Tukwila South
Development. The station was built in 1977, has four pumps, a total capacity of 43.7 cfs and is the largest pump
station in the City. The electrical controls and pumps are located below ground and the station does not have
generator backup power.
The Tukwila South Project will construct the north storm pond with a total capacity of approximately 15 acre -feet of
storage. This pond will then be connected to Storm Lift Station No. 15 through a 36" storm pipe. Development of
the Tukwila South Project will significantly increase the discharge to this station.
ANALYSIS
Failure and flooding at Storm Lift Station No. 15 could result from a power failure or storm flows over the station
capacity. Flooding of the station would result in the loss of the station and significant costs due to damaged
electrical panels, controls, and pumps. Planned improvements to reduce these risks are:
Installation of a back -up power generator to run all or a portion of the pumps
Installation of an electronically activated gate that reduces discharge to the station during flood events
Sealing the dry portion of the station so that stormwater cannot enter through drains connected to the wet well
The current Consultant Roster was reviewed and three firms were short- listed to perform this design. The firms
were: KPG, PACE Engineers and Parametrix. PACE, Inc. was selected as the firm that best met the requirements
for this type of project as PACE has performed similar work for other cities. PACE also completed the Drainage
Study for this pump station in 2010. Staff met with the proposed Project Manager and developed a scope of work
that includes design upgrades to the station.
BUDGET SUMMARY
This project will be funded through the 412 Surface Water Fund.
Cost Budget
PACE Engineers, Inc. 59,839.00 60,000.00
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve a Consultant Agreement with Pace Engineers, Inc. in the amount of
$59,839.00 for consideration at the February 28, 2011 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 7,
2011 Regular Meeting.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
STORMWATER PUMP STATION 15 IMPROVEMENTS
Project Understanding
The existing Lift Station No. 15 serves the Tukwila south property. The general boundaries of the
Tukwila south property are South 180 Street to the north, I -5 to the west, Green River to the east
and South 204 Street to the south. Lift Station No. 15 was constructed in the late 1970's and has a
total capacity of 43.7 cfs (19,614 gpm). Currently, Lift Station No. 15 conveys stormwater flows
from the Northeast Basin which is mostly commercial. It will also take future flows related to the
new development to the south. To date there have been no major reports of mechanical problems
with the lift station.
There is currently no on -site emergency back -up power if there were to be a complete failure of the
pumps due to a power outage. To resolve this issue the City has requested PACE provide:
Bid ready contract documents for the installation of a 600 kW standby generator with a
1,000 gallon subbase -fuel tank adjacent to the lift station to provide power to the pumps
during power outages.
Provide drawings to seal the electrical room from the wet well
Provide power to the new actuated sluice gate that will be constructed as part of the North
Pond.
Evaluate the cost and benefits to replace the existing motor starters with VFD's and the
replacement of the existing control panels.
Scope of Services
This proposal includes necessary civil and electrical engineering services through the design phase
of this project. PACE will be the prime consultant for the entire Scope of Work and will oversee and
administer this Scope of Work. PACE will complete all civil engineering and survey services in-
house. PACE will subcontract with Follett Engineering for the electrical engineering portion of the
project. Based upon our discussions we have not included the services of a professional land
acquisition specialist on this project. If during the course of the project, a specialist is required to
assist with obtaining an easement for the generator location the scope and budget would need to be
modified accordingly.
We anticipate starting this work immediately and proceeding on a preliminary layout to submit to the
City for review. The estimated cost for this work is approximately $59,839 (see Exhibit B). The
budget is based on our 2011 rates.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution Declaring Emergency: Andover Park West (APW)/Andover Park East (APE) Sewer Repair
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that declares an emergency in response to damages
caused by a collapsed sanitary sewer in the 1000 block of Andover Park West.
This resolution will authorize contracts and/or agreements required to expedite and repair damages,
restore service and prevent further damage to the water and sewer system. The emergency declaration will
exempt related contracts from competitive bidding.
The City was first alerted to this matter on the evening of Wednesday, February 2, 2011, at which time it
was thought to be a water main break. Further assessment indentified additional concerns and resulted in
a trench collapse on Friday, February 3. Dewatering, excavation and repair is now complete. Crews will
replace curb and gutter and lay new pavement this week.
Staff will return to Committee once final tabulations have been calculated on this project. General cost
estimates are currently over $400,000. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 28
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Storm Lift Station No. 15 Improvements: Consultant Recommendation and Agreement
Staff is seeking approval to enter into a consultant agreement with PACE Engineers, Inc. in the amount of
$59,839 for design services for Storm Lift Station No. 15 Improvements.
This lift station was built in 1977 and is the largest pump in the City. Concerns with the Lift station
include the undergrounding of all electrical controls and pumps, and the station has no back -up power
with sufficient capacity. Failure of this storm pump could cause flooding which may result in significant
and costly damage. PACE Engineers, chosen from three short- listed firms off of the MRSC Roster, will
design improvements that include a back -up generator, a controlled gate that reduces discharge during
floods, and sealing to control stormwater entry.
Funding for design services are budgeted in the 412 Surface Water Fund. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
