SUBJECT: Tukwila Manufacturing/Industrial Center (NK) Smart Street Non'K0otorizedProiect
Project No. 91310406
Acceptance of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Grant
ISSUE
Accept a federal grant awarded by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to design bicycle facilities on East Marginal
Way South, Boeing Access Road, and Airport Way South iO the amount Of$1O4.858.0U.
BACKGROUND
In May 2012 the City submitted an application to PSRC in response to a statewide Call for Projects to award federal grant
funds. The City's application had two parts requesting Congestion Management/Air Quality (CMAQ) funds to: Part 1) construct
bicycle facilities on the corridor of East Marginal Way/Boeing Access Rd/Airport Way from SR 599 to the north City limits (see
attached map) and, Part 2) conduct a study of the Boeing Access Rd corridor to recommend improvements for
bicyclists/pedestrians. The p ject initially did not score well enough to be recommended for immediate funding, although it did
score adequately to be ranked as the top p ject on the contingency list. During the scoring process, the committee
recommended funding only shovel-ready construction p jects. Since the p jects were selected in 2012, the Puget Sound
region has struggled to meet obligation requirements imposed by FHWA. Due to this lack of progress in obligating funds,
PSRC has awarded funding to contingency p jects, but are only awarding funding for design of Part 1.
DISCUSSION
Acceptance of the awarded federal gran will enable the City to proceed with only the design phase of the Tukwila MIC Smart
Street Non-Motorized P 'ect.ThaoonstmoUonphaoawiUnotbmfundodunh|@ddidVnG|gr8nttundsamaeouredortheChv
budgets the p ject from local sources.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The tota estimated projec cost for bicycle facilities in Part 1, including construction, submitted with the grant application was
$678,480.00. Grant funds awarded at this time are only for the design phase and are estimated at $121,200 with grant
funding of $104,838 and a City required match of 13.5% or $16,362.00. The constr ction phase in the amount of $557,280
is currently unfunded and p jected for construction in 2015 (pending receipt of an additional grant).

City of Tukwila

Dear Mayo
I'm writing to congratulate you on the recent award of $104,838 in funding from the
Puget Sound Regional Council for the Tukwila Manufacturing Industrial Center Smart
Street Non-motorized Project.
Your project was one of 21 projects approved by PSRC's Executive Board in May to
receive a total of $24 million in federal funding.
One of PSRC's major responsibilities is to secure federal transportation funding for the
region and to select projects to receive that funding. The projects are selected on their
merits and support the region's growth and economic development.
To ensure that our region meets an August 1 deadline for using funds from the Federal
Highway Administration, we identified ready to go projects such as yours to receive this
funding. This action will ensure federal transportation dollars are put to work on priority
projects right away. These projects must use their awarded funds by August 1, or the
funds will be returned.
We thank you for your continued leadership and excellent work by your staff on
transportation planning and implementation. PSRC looks forward to continuing to partner
with you on regional transportation, economic development and land use solutions that
work locally and regionally.
Warm regards,
Bob Drewel
Executive Director
Puget Sound Regional Council
