SPONSOR'S As specified in the City's 2013 NPDES Phase II permit, the City can either monitor our
SUMMARY stormwater systems or participate in the Washington State Department of Ecology's
Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program (RSMP). The City chose to participate in the four
year RSMP with an annual fee of $12,536.00. Council is being asked to approve the
Interagency Agreement with the State Department of Ecology for the Regional
Stormwater Monitoring Program.

FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
BY: Greg Villanueva, NPDES Coordinator
DATE: May 30, 2014
SUBJECT: NPDES Program
Project No. 99341210
Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program Interagency Agreement
ISSUE
Authorize Mayor to sign the Interagency Agreement (IAA) No. WAR04-5544 between the
Department of Ecology (DOE) and the City of Tukwila, for funding and conducting Tukwila's
share of the Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program (RSMP).
BACKGROUND
As specified in the City's 2013-2018 NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit, Section S8
required that the City either monitor stormwater systems within the City for water quality
effectiveness or participate in the RSMP to be implemented by the DOE. In November 2013, the
City notified the DOE of its decision to participate in the RSMP and pay into the collective fund
and have the DOE conduct stormwater monitoring.
ANALYSIS
For the RSMP, the City may either use the attached IAA (cost-sharing agreement) or have
annual invoices sent to the City. Staff reviewed the DOE's options and concluded that it would
be easier to track costs using the IAA for the City's NPDES Phase II Permit.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
For the four year monitoring agreement, the total fee is $50,144.00, with $12,536.00 due
annually to the DOE on or before August 15 until the permit expiration date of July 31, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve the Interagency Agreement No. WAR04-544 with the DOE for
the Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at
the June 16, 2014 Regular Meeting.

THIS INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the STATE OF
WASHINGTON, DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY, hereinafter referred to as "ECOLOGY," and CITY OF
TUKWILA, hereinafter referred to as "TUKWILA ", pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 39.34
RCW.
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT to provide a share of the funding required to conduct a
Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program (RSMP) as defined in the Western Washington Phase II
Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit sections S8.B,
S8.0 and S8.D, and in Attachment A — Scope of Work. The project is being jointly funded by all of the
permittees who choose to participate in the RSMP.
THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED THAT:
1) STATEMENT OF WORK
Ecology agrees to manage the funds, participate in an oversight committee, solicit requests for proposals,
conduct an open and transparent process to rank applications, and enter into contracts with other entities to
perform the activities described in Attachment A — Scope of Work, attached hereto by reference.
2) PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
Subject to its other provisions, the period of performance of this IAA shall commence on the date on which
both parties have signed this Agreement, or date of execution, whichever comes later, and be completed by
June 30, 2019, unless extended longer or terminated sooner as provided herein.
3) PAYMENT
"Tukwila" agrees to pay Ecology the total sum of 50,144 dollars as its share for accomplishing the work
required by this Agreement. This sum shall be paid in annual installments of 12,536 dollars.

U. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Supplemental Agreement: East Marginal Way South Storm Pipe Replacement
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplement No. 3 to Contract No. 13-036 with KPG, Inc. in
the amount of $45.985.87 for design of the East Marginal Way Pipe Replacement Project. An
alternate alignment was identified after soil contaminants were discovered along the original
project alignment where the existing pipe is located. This supplement will cover the additional field
work and design needed to accommodate this change to the project scope. The total cost for
design including this supplement is $223,439.76, which is under budget. The alternate alignment
will reduce construction costs by allowing the existing pipe to be used during oonSfructiVn,
eliminating bypass pumping, avoiding contaminated soi|s, and reducing utility conflicts.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 16, 2014 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Interagency Agreement: NPDES Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of Interagency Agreement No. VVARO4-544 vvith the Department
*of Ecology for funding and conducting Tukwila's share of the Regional Stormwater Monitoring
Program (RSMP). The City's NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit requires that the City
either monitor stormwater systesms for water quality effectiveness or participate in the RSMP. The
City notified DOE of its decision to participate in November 2013, and this interagency agreement
sets the terms for Tukwila's share of the collective funding. The total fee for the four year
monitoring agreement is $50,144.00, with $12,536.00 due annually until the permit expires in 2018.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 16, 2014 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Supplemental Agreement: Water Comprehensive Plan
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplement No. 7 to Contract No. 10'055 with Carollo
Engineers in the amount of $19.768.00 for revisions to the Water Comprehensive Plan. The
Washington Department of Health (DOH) and King County Utilities Technical Review Committee
provided comments on the draft Plan that impact the amount of time needed to complete
responsive revisions. Funding for this supplement will come from the Water Fund's Ending Fund
Balance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 9, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE
