BACKGROUND While cleaning and jetting a plugged sewer line near the intersection of Southcenter Blvd and 65th Ave S. City staff encountered problems that prevented them from clearing the unknown obstruction and resulted in the jet head and hose becoming stuck in the sewer line. Staff was unable to free the hose and it had to be cut and left in the manhole and sewer line. It was determined that the only way the blockage could be cleared was to install a new manhole where the jet hose was stuck. A contract was approved by Council on November 4, 2013 with Green River Construction, Inc. in the amount of $34,164.00 to install the new manhole. clear any blockages, and/or make any other necessary repairs to the sewer main. DISCUSSION The initial excavation work encountered sewage in the soils at approximately 5 feet deep and 2 feet above the sewer pipe. Staff determined that the sewer line must be broken near this location and that bypass pumping would be required for the sewer line to be repaired. A temporary pumping system was installed in order to control raw sewage from continuing to contaminate the work area. With the temporary pumping system in place. the contractor was able to excavate and examine the broken sewer pipe. With the sewer line now exposed, it was found that two orange fiber optic ducts installed by directional boring equipment had broken through the sewer line at multiple locations. Because the fiber optic ducts were installed adjacent to the sewer line, the trench length had to be greatly increased to determine if there was any further damage to our sewer pipe and to allow for the necessary repairs. The scope of the actual sewer repairs changed dramatically from the scope of the repair project that was awarded to Green River Construction, Inc. Since the bid items do not accurately reflect the work that was performed, the contract work was tracked on a time and material basis in order to calculate fair compensation for the contractor's effort. The changed scope of work also merits an extension of contract time for the contractor to complete landscaping and irrigation work to March 31, 2014. W:1PW Eng1PROJECT&A- SW Proyects'2013 Annua!

The additional scope of work included the installation of approximately 100 feet of sewer pipe, traffic control, landscaping, and pavement/sidewalk restoration for a total of $104,462.03. As this is an emergency repair, the project was not budgeted and construction costs will come from the Sewer Fund's ending fund balance. While the final cost of this project is significantly more than the awarded bid amount, this change order reflects the tracking of actual costs to the contractor and includes standard mark -ups for force account items. The time and material approach was the most reasonable and equitable solution to compensate for the changed conditions during construction and complete the necessary repairs. The City will be filing a claim against Comcast and their contractor for the damages to the sewer line and costs incurred for the repair by the City.

CONTRACT AMOUNT $ 126,599.11 ORIGINAL: City Clerk (1 of 2) Contractor (2 of 2) cc: Finance Department (w /encumbrance); Construction Inspector; Construction Engineer; file: 155 CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 01 CHANGE: Sheet 2 of 2 During the first day of work on November 14, 2013, Green River Construction began excavating for the proposed sewer manhole in front of the business at 6450 Southcenter Blvd. The contractor excavated down above the sewer line near where the City of Tukwila staff determined the end of the Vactor truck jetting hose was lodged in the sewer pipe. The contractor was down about 5 feet from the surface and 2 feet above the sewer pipe, when sewage came boiling out of the bottom of the trench. The contractor tried to control the sewage flow into the trench with a trash pump. The small trash pump could not keep up with the flow of sewage into the trench. Staff determined that the sewer dine must be broken near this location and that bypass pumping would be required for the sewer line to be repaired. The City of Tukwila then contacted Godwin Pumps to provide and install a temporary pumping system around the work area. Godwin installed temporary piping and a large diesel pump with the assistance of Green River Construction on the afternoon of November 14. On November 15, with the temporary pumping system up and running, Green River was able to excavate down to the sewer pipe. With the sewer line now exposed it was found that two orange poly fiber optic ducts were running parallel and immediately adjacent to the sewer line and the sewer line was broken in two places. The Vactor Truck jet hose could be seen inside the sewer pipe. The original scope of the project was to open up about 15 feet of trench above the sewer line for the installation of the proposed manhole. With the fiber optic ducts running this close to the sewer line the trench length would have to be increased to verify the condition of the sewer line. At this point, there was a major change in conditions in contract for the manhole installation project. The City of Tukwila then requested Green River Construction work under Force Account Rules to repair the sanitary sewer line damaged by the installation of the fiber optic cables by Comcast earlier in the summer 2013. The installation of manhole was deleted from scope of the contract. The revised scope of work is to repair the damaged sanitary sewer line and restore the disturbed area back to the existing condition prior to the repair. This work is to done by Force Account for the sewer repair and fixed dollar amount for the site restoration. Please see attached invoice and documentation from Green River Construction to justify the project costs. 156 158 22 UTILITIES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes February 3, 2014 — 5:15 p.m. — Foster Conference Room, 6300 Building City of Tukwila Utilities Committee PRESENT Councilmembers: Kate Kruller, Chair; Kathy Hougardy, Allan Ekberg Staff: David Cline, Bob Giberson, Robin Tischmak, Frank Iriarte, Gail Labanara, Ryan Larson, Mike Cusick, Pat Brodin, and Laurel Humphrey CALL TO ORDER: Committee Chair Kruller called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. I.

Change Order: Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Boulevard Staff is seeking Council approval of a change order to Contract No. 13 -181 with Green River Construction, Inc. in the amount of $104,462.03 for the Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Boulevard. This contract was originally approved in November 2013 to install a new manhole, clear blockages and make any other necessary repairs to the sewer main near the intersection of Southcenter Boulevard and 65th Avenue South. During initial excavation work, it was found that two orange fiber optic ducts had broken through the sewer line at multiple locations, resulting in an increase to the scope of the repair project as well as an extension of contract time for the completion of landscaping and irrigation work. The City will file a claim against Comcast for the damages to the sewer line and the costs incurred for the repair. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. C. Interlocal Agreement: Briscoe /Desimone Levee Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Kent for repairs to the Briscoe /Desimone Levee. The Briscoe /Desimone Levee is located along the east side of the Green River between South 180th Street in Tukwila and South 200th Street in Kent. The King County Flood Control District assigned the City of Kent responsibility for the design and construction of setback levees retained by walls on the landward side, and this ILA will allow the City of Kent to perform work in the City of Tukwila. The agreement authorizes the work, designates SEPA authority, grants condemnation authority and allows work to commence. Staff from both cities participated in the drafting of the ILA, which requires Kent to meet Tukwila's shoreline regulations. Construction is expected to begin in early 2015 and no funds from Tukwila are required or anticipated at this time. Committee Chair Kruller mentioned a 2013 Council motion relating to the design work and asked staff to confirm no discrepancies between the language discussed then and the currently proposed ILA. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. 159
