BACKGROUND The City acquired the Duwamish Gardens site in 2008 for future restoration as a salmon habitat site. Staff is in the process of clearing the site of all existing structures, starting the design process, and securing construction grant funding. Staff applied for and received design grant funding from the RCO in the amount of $197,299.00 and from the King Conservation District (KCD) in the amount of $52,929.34. Staff has negotiated a scope and fee from a design consultant in the amount of $316,066.00. This amount was more than the $250,000.00 estimate included on the grant applications. Staff contacted the RCO and was able to obtain an additional $50,045.00 in design grant funding. In order to receive this additional grant funding, an amendment to the existing RCO grant agreement must be executed and approved by City Council. ANALYSIS The total grant funding now available for design is $300,273.34 ($197,299.00, $50,045.00, and $52,929.34). The RCO grant requires a local match of $54,059.00, which can be matched by the KCD funding of $52,929.34 and a City match of $1,129.66. A total of $15,792.66 in City funds will be needed for the design contract. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the RCO grant agreement amendment for additional grant funding of $50,045.00 and consider this item at the January 9, 2012 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent January 17, 2012 Regular Meeting.

As a result, I am approving an amendment to the Duwamish Gardens Estuarine Rehabilitation Design grant. Enclosed are two original amendments to the Project Agreement. Please sign both amendments, retain one for your records, and return one original. On a related note, we are closing the Duwamish Gardens Acquisition grant. We are keeping our 10% retainage of $76,852.10 since the contaminated soils have not been cleaned up per our Acquisition Policy Manual #3. The City has until December 31, 2015 to clean up the site, or have a fully- funded restoration construction plan in place; otherwise the RCO will consider this acquisition site a conversion. You will be required to follow our conversion policies outlined in the RCO Funded Projects Manual #7, pages 22 -25. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Marc Duboiski at (360) 902 -3137 or e -mail to marcd(d�rco.wa.gov.

The site is in the high priority "transition zone" between fresh and saltwater, 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. The property is among the largest remaining pieces of under developed sites for habitat restoration remaining in the Duwamish corridor. When restored, it will be the largest off channel habitat between the Codiga Farms restoration at RM 8.5 and North Wind's Weir restoration at RM 6.4. 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. The project will provide another viewpoint on the river across from the popular Green River Trail. The viewpoint will include interpretive signs on the pre contact use, historical, and ecological features of the site. The project is immediately below the Sound Transit LINK light rail bridge and viewed by thousands of riders each day.
