BACKGROUND The City acquired the Duwamish Gardens site in 2008 for restoration as a salmon habitat site. Staff applied for design funding through the King Conservation District (KCD) and the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) The KCD awarded this project $52,929.34 and the grant was accepted by Council on October 18, 2010. The SRFB has now awarded this project $197,299.00 and a grant agreement is ready for City approval. The SRFB sent a grant agreement to the City October 28, 2010 and requested that the City return a signed agreement to them by November 15, 2010. Staff discussed the City's approval process with the SRFB and was notified that the State's Office of Financial Management is mandating that all contracts be obligated by November 30, 2010 or funding could be reallocated. ANALYSIS The design costs for this project are estimated to be $275,000 00. Design funding is anticipated to be budgeted from KCD with $52,929.34, SRFB with $197,299.00, and City revenue of $24,771.66. Design of the Duwamish Gardens project will include many challenges and is expected to be similar in nature to the work King County recently completed at the North Wind's Weir Intertidal Restoration Project located just down stream of this site. We have attached an informative article on the North Wind's project. Duwamish Gardens design will include coordination with adjacent property owners, utilities, and Sound Transit, evaluating design alternatives, developing an artifact recovery plan, further testing for site contaminants, obtaining all required permits, and developing a design that is beneficial to salmon recovery while minimizing future maintenance needs. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve a grant agreement with the SRFB and alter the typical approval process by considering this item at the November 22, 2010 Committee of the Whole and the subsequent Special Meeting that same night.
