Peter Heffernan, Chair of the King County Project Evaluation Committee (KCPEC), sent out the
attached email at 11:15 p.m. on Friday January 22, 2010 to all KCPEC members. In the email,
Peter emphasizes the need to submit for a second round of Economic Stimulus Project
Prioritization by 5 p.m. Tuesday, February 3, 2010. Only projects that are ready or nearly ready
to advertise for bids within 90 days of March 1, 2010 will qualify for the application.
As required by CIP Policy, this grant application opportunity is being brought to Committee for
approval. Further, the grant funds will not be accepted without full Council approval.
Two projects are being submitted for the stimulus funding Tukwila Urban Center Access
(Klickitat) and Southcenter Parkway Extension. At this stage, it is not clear how much stimulus
funds will be allocated to PSRC for 2010. In 2009, PSRC selected 27 shovel -ready priority
transportation projects for the $78 million in Federal Highway Administration funds available
through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Authorize Staff to apply for the 2010 Transportation Stimulus Funds for the TUC Access and
Southcenter Parkway projects.

Action Needed: Economic Stimulus Prioritization Round Two
Dear KCPEC member:
Please find attached three documents: a summary of our Jan. 13 KCPEC meeting, an Economic Stimulus project
Prioritization form which we are requesting that you fill out and e -mail to Paul Takamine at
paul.takamine @kingcounty.gov by 5:00 PM Tuesday February 3 for projects which you wish to have considered
for a potential second round of stimulus funding, and information /guidance on the development of the project list.
Please proceed quickly with filling out the prioritization forms because there is not much time to prioritize our
projects and develop the requested project lists. Eligible projects are those on the current ARRA contingency list,
recently adopted STP /CMAQ contingency list, and new projects that are able to meet federal and regional
requirements such as being included in or exempt from the regions long range plan (Destination 2030), NEPA and
are ready to obligate funding in 90 days from March I st, 2010.
I realize that this is all moving quickly and may lead to some confusion but
provide you with the explanations you may need. If you have any questions
