TUKWILA 205 LEVEE CERTIFICATION
PHASE 2 - ALTERNATIVES ANALYSES FOR LARGE SCALE IMPROVEMENTS
SCOPE OF WORK
Prepared by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Inc.
for the City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
October 19, 2016
OVERVIEW
The City of T ukwila (City) Department of Public Works has selected Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Inc.
(NHC), with their subconsultants AMEC Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. (AMEC) and KPG, to provide
professional engineering consulting services to evaluate and certify the Tukwila 205 Levee in accordance
with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements (44 CFR Section 65.10). The 4.6-
mile -long levee is located on the left bank of the Green River between 1 -405 and South 196th Street and
includes the cutoff levee to Southcenter Parkway. Engineering services generally consist of researching
records, conducting inspections, performing structural, geotechnical, seismic, and hydraulic analyses,
preparing detailed reports of the current levee system, providing an analysis and report of needed
improvements, and working with the City to provide engineering plans, specifications, and cost
estimates for the improvements. Work may include engineering services during construction for any
required improvements, such as inspection and change management support under the direction of the
City's project manager. Once the levee is deemed certifiable, work will include providing the necessary
reports and documentation to certify that the levee provides protection from the base (1 percent annual
chance) flood in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
This is a multi -phase project. "Phase 1— Engineering Analyses and Improvement Identification" collected
data, performed analyses required under 44 CFR 65.10, and identified deficiencies. This work indicated
that steep bank slopes throughout the reach significantly limit the ability to certify the levee as -is. As
such, "Phase 2 - Alternatives Analyses for large Scale Improvements for Large Scale Improvements" will
identify if there are alternative options to evaluate the existing case, and then, if still deemed that the
levee can't be certified as -is, evaluate options that will certify the levee by selecting a preferred
alternative and developing conceptual level construction plans. These complex fixes will move the
project into permitting, design, and construction in "Phase 3 - Large Scale Improvements ". "Phase 4 -
Certification Submittal" will provide the documentation necessary to certify the Tukwila Levee and
include an Operations and Maintenance Manual, of which the basis will be the existing U.S. Army Corps'
(Corps) approved manual, but also will adopt other recent policies and procedures, if appropriate, such
as those from King County's ongoing System -Wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) assessment for the
Green River. After completion of Phase 2, the specific task work to be completed in Phases 3 through 4
will be refined and a cost estimate to complete this work will be prepared.
water resource specialists
PHASE 1- ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND IMPROVEMENT IDENTIFICATION
The Scope of Work (SOW) for Phase 1 defined Tasks 1 through 8 to complete the engineering analyses
needed to certify the Tukwila 205 Levee in accordance with FEMA requirements (44 CFR Section 65.10),
and identify any physical improvements necessary to certify the levee. Specific assignments and
deliverables have been listed for each task, including who is responsible for certifying compliance with
each section of 65.10.
PHASE 2 - ALTERNATIVES ANALYSES FOR LARGE SCALE IMPROVEMENTS
Phase 2 will conduct the alternatives analyses for the large, complex improvements necessary to certify
the levee. Any small -scale fixes determined in Phase 1 —for instance where the solution is obvious and
no permitting is required, such as raising the levee slightly to gain the necessary freeboard — will be
incorporated into the large -scale improvements. Phase 3 will address design, permitting, and
construction of large, complex improvements. The Phase 3 SOW will be refined after the completion of
Phase 2. A Phase 3 cost estimate will then be prepared and submitted to the City.
TASK 9. SITE SPECIFIC ENGINEERING ANALYSES
This task will collect additional data, evaluate methods, and conduct additional (or refine existing)
analyses to determine if the levees can be certified as -is. Phase 1 conducted a reach -wide assessment of
the levees using generalized information. More site specific details and review of levee sections in finer
detail, may indicate that portions can be certified as -is and not need a constructed fix. The project team
will discretize the project reach based on common characteristics and determine how Phase 1.
engineering analyses could be refined for these sections. The team will then collect additional data and
refine the engineering analyses if it is deemed that they could provide the technical backing to certify
discrete sections of the levee. The City will be engaged, and meetings will be held as necessary at
regular intervals during the task work.
NHC will lead this effort, with both NHC and AMEC evaluating and refining the analyses as needed. It is
anticipated that AMEC will lead the effort to collect more detailed site characterization through cone
penetration test (CPT) probes. The CPT probes are a less costly exploration method than boring, but still
provide a continuous log of the soil profile when correlated with Phase 1 information. KPG will conduct
detailed channel bank information at up to eight cross - sections and, if requested, will collect additional
survey data in key areas up to the allotted .level of effort budgeted.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Evaluate and refine hydraulic engineering analyses. Assemble summary document.
AMEC: Evaluate and refine hydraulic geotechnical analyses.
KPG: Topographic survey.
City: Provide assistance as needed.
DELIVERABLES
• Documentation of sections of the levee that can be certified as -is without a constructed fix.
TASK 10. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS — LARGE SCALE PROJECTS
Phase 1 identified that projects of a larger and more complex scale are likely necessary to certify the
levee. For larger projects, an initial alternatives assessment will be conducted by the consultant team.
Page 2 of 6 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work — 10/19/16
City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
Alternatives will be assessed for each project using objectives and performance metrics developed in
conjunction with the City. A recommended alternative will be selected and presented to the City for
approval prior to beginning Phase 3 work.
NHC will lead this task. NHC and AMEC will first determine potential alternative construction fixes that
will lead to the levee being certified and then determine approximate construction costs for each
alternative with KPG assistance. For each levee section characterized, NHC and AMEC will determine
the evaluation criteria with the City, evaluate the alternatives accordingly, and provide a recommended
alternative to the City during an in- person meeting. Once a preferred alternative is selected, the project
team will develop conceptual level designs for each levee section.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Lead alternatives analysis and conceptual design. Develop alternatives. Provide hydraulic
support. Document work.
AMEC: Assist with developing alternatives. Provide geotechnical support.
KPG: Assist with developing alternatives and preliminary cost estimates.
City: Provide input on alternatives assessment metrics and preferred alternative.
DELIVERABLES
• Alternatives assessment documentation for discrete levee sections including methodology, selection
criteria, and preferred alternative with a conceptual design.
COST ESTIMATE
The total estimated cost to complete Phase 2 (Tasks 9 and 10) is $316,788 as detailed in Exhibit B,
"Phase 2 Cost Estimate 10/14/2016 ".
PHASE 3 - LARGE SCALE IMPROVEMENTS
Phase 3 will provide civil design and construction support of the preferred design determined in Phase 2
for large- scale, complex physical deficiencies. Meetings will be held as needed. The SOW for Phase 3
will be refined at the completion of Phase 1, and a cost estimate prepared.
TASK 11. CIVIL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT— LARGE SCALE
KPG will take the lead on plans, specifications, and engineering to develop and resolve deficiencies. NHC
and AMEC will provide specifications and direction on key hydraulic and geotechnical design features.
KPG will provide construction management services for the projects.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Provide hydraulic technical input based on work completed in prior tasks.
AMEC: Provide geotechnical input based'on work completed in prior tasks.
KPG: Lead efforts for construction of physical deficiency corrections including creating PSE and
providing construction support.
City: Provide assistance as needed.
DELIVERABLES
• Full PSE packages suitable for bid letting. Construction management documentation as required.
Page 3 of 6 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work — 10/19/16
City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
TASK 12. ENVIRONMENTAL /PERMITTING
Capital improvements required to address deficiencies will likely require obtaining permits. If work is
required on the riverward side of the levee, federal permits triggering ESA consultations may be
mandatory. AMEC will provide permitting support for any required capital projects if requested by the
City.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Hydraulics support for permitting.
AMEC: Provide permitting support as needed for the project.
KPG: Civil design support for permitting.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Permit submittal packages as required to meet environmental /permitting needs.
PHASE 4 - CERTIFICATION SUBMITTAL
Once all deficiencies have been identified and corrected, the Tukwila Levee Certification report will be
prepared for submittal. The SOW for Phase 4 will be refined at the completion of Phase 1, and a cost
estimate prepared.
TASK 13. OPERATIONS PLANS AND CRITERIA DOCUMENTATION
An Operations and Maintenance (O &M) manual to meet FEMA requirements for the levee (CFR 65.10.c)
will be created, primarily by combining existing manuals. The basis of the manual will be the existing
Corps' approved manual, but will also adopt other recent policies and procedures, if appropriate, such
as those from the ongoing King County SWIF process, (on which NHC is part of the consultant project
team). Additions may be necessary where other infrastructure — particularly bridge embankments -
serve as part of the levee system, but are not considered by the Corps as part of their project, and hence
are not addressed in the existing manual. The O&M manual must also address the stormwater system
that provides interior drainage for the City; therefore, all the City's pump stations will need to be
addressed.
FEMA requires clear ownership of the levee system be demonstrated. As the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) owned 1 -405 bridge embankment is high ground and the
downstream tie -in, an inter - jurisdictional agreement will need to be made between the City and
WSDOT. Kent and WSDOT have recently determined a method to address the issue within the City, and
we expect the same process to be followed. This task is required to be led by the City, but the
consultant team will provide the technical materials needed.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Prepare documentation (including references to existing manuals) to meet CFR 65.10.c
requirements.
AMEC: Assist with document preparation.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: Assist with providing existing O &M manuals. Lead inter- jurisdictional agreement at downstream
tie -in to high ground.
Page 4 of 6 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work - 10/19/16
City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
DELIVERABLES
• Draft and final versions of O &M report.
• Technical materials for inter - jurisdictional agreement at downstream tie -in.
TASK 14. REFINE ENGINEERING ANALYSES
Engineering analyses conducted in Phase 1 may need to be refined to reflect any constructed levee
improvements, and demonstrate that the levee meets certification requirements. The project team will
revise the Phase 1 analyses, as needed, and update the documentation for the levee certification.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC, AMEC, and KPG: Revise Phase 1 engineering analyses, as needed.
DELIVERABLES
• Final documentation of engineering analyses.
TASK 15. PROJECT DOCUMENTATION SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW
Once all technical analyses are complete and any deficiencies addressed, a certification report package
will be prepared. NHC will take the lead to prepare this document and combine reports, as -built plans,
and other required files. The certification document will be combined with others from the City (that
are related to the O &M manual) into a final report and submitted to FEMA. The project team will
address review comments provided by FEMA.
Whether the project report is submitted as a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) through
FEMA's consultant, STARR, or directly through local FEMA Region X for review, will be determined
during the project. NHC will engage FEMA Region X early in the project to determine which of these
paths is most likely.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Prepare submittal package to meet CFR 65.10.c requirements.
AMEC: Assist with document preparation.
KPG: Assist with document preparation.
City: Assist with document preparation, including providing required City signatures and formal
authorizations.
DELIVERABLES
• Draft project documentation.
• Final project documentation.

SCHEDULE
A tentative schedule for Phase 2 is shown below, assuming notice to proceed occurs near November 1,
2016. Timing for work beyond Phase 2 will depend heavily on the number and complexity of any fixes .
needed to obtain levee certification. Based on Phase 1 work, these could be significant. The schedule
for completing final design, and construction of the larger, more complex projects in Phase 3, will be
better known once Phase 2 is complete.

TUKWILA 205 LEVEE CERTIFICATION
SCOPE OF WORK
Prepared by Northwes Hydraulic Consultants Inc.
for the City ofTukwila Department of Public Works
September 30, 2014
OVERVIEW
The City ofTukwila (City) Department of Public Works has selected Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Inc.
(NHC), with their subconsultants, AMEC Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. (AMEC) and KPG, to
provide professional engineering consulting services to evaluate and certify the Tukwila 205 Levee in
accordance with FEMA requirements (44 CFR Section 65.10). The 4.6 mile long Ievee is Iocated on the
Ieft bank of the Green River between 1-405 and South 196th Street including the cutoff Ievee to
Southcenter Parkway. The engineering services generally consist of researching records, conducting
inspections, performing structural, geotechnical, seismic, and hydraulic analyses, preparing detailed
reports of the current levee system, providing an analysis and report of needed improvements, and
working with the City to provide engineering plans, specifications, and cost estimates for the
improvements. Work may include engineering services during construction for any required
improvements, such as construction inspection and change management support under the direction of
the City's project manager. Once the Ievee is deemed certifiable, work will include providing the
necessary reports and documentation certifying that the levee provides protection from the base (1%
annual chance) flood in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
This is a multi-phase project; "Phase 1 — Engineering Analyses and Improvement Identification" will
collect data, perform analyses required under 44 CFR 65.10, and identify deficiencies. |n "Phase Z'
A|ternadvesAna|ysisand5maUSca|e|mprovements",anynecessaryimprovementsvviUbegintobe
addressed. Documentation and administrative deficiency issues regarding the levee certification will be
dealt with as they are identified. Physical improvements identified during the various technical analyses
will require a different approach. Physical improvements with simple fixes will go immediately to a
design stage while more complex fixes will go through alternatives analysis. These complex fixes will
then move into permitting, design, and construction in "Phase 3 - Large Scale Improvements". "Phase 4
Certification Submittal" will provide the documentation necessary to certify the Tukwila Levee. The
basis for the documentation will be the existing Corps approved manual but will also adopt other recent
policies and procedures, if appropriate, such as those from King County's ongoing System-Wide
Improvement Framework (SWIF) assessment for the Green River.
For the first phase, the tasks are well defined and a cost estimate is provided in this Scope of Work.
Descriptions for later phases are also included to put the entire levee certification project in context.
After completion of Phase 1, and once any improvement needs are identified, the specific task work to
be completed in Phases 2 through 4 wiII be refined and a cost estimate to complete this work prepared.
water resource
PHASE 1 - ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND IMPROVEMENT IDENTIFICATION.
The following Scope of Work (SOW) for Phase 1 defines the tasks to complete the engineering analyses
to certify the Tukwila 205 Levee in accordance with FEMA requirements (44 CFR Section 65.10) and
identify any physical improvements necessary to certify the Ievee. Specific assignments and deliverabies
have been listed for each task, including who is responsible for certifying compliance with each section
of 65.10.
TASK 1. DATA REVIEW
NHC has much of the key information that will be reviewed at the start of the project. This includes the
2010 and 2013 levee inspection reports, geotechnical reports, as-built drawings, repair plans, and the
City stormwater GIS database. Overall, the project benefits from having excellent documentation. NHC
created and has in-hand aPI the hydraulic models needed. Additional information will be sought from
the City, King County, and the Corps of Engineers.
Team members will attend a data discovery meeting with the City to discuss known data and how this
information will be obtained if the project team does not already have it in-hand. The consultant team
will review existing data to refine system understanding and look for opportunities to leverage
previously collected data. Existing documents to be reviewed include:
• Existing bathymetric and topographic data
• Existing Ievee surveys
• 2OlO and 2O13 levee inspection reports
• Levee as-built drawings and any repair plans
• Historical information (as-builts and design alternations) on nearby site development
• Previous flood fighting information
• Discussions with persons having first-hand experience observing any physical levee performance
deficiencies
• Utility crossing records
• Geologic reports, boring Iogs, groundwater data, and lab testing data
• City stormwater GIS database
• Levee Operations & Maintenance manuals.
This task will also include documenting with the City that there are no structural closure devices within
the levee and therefore, CFR 65.10.b.2 "Closures" does not need to be addressed as part of the levee
certification.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC, AMEC, KPG: Collect and review data, and provide Iist of additional data needs. Attend data
discovery meeting.
City: Assist in providing additional data needs and interagency coordination.
NHC and City: Certify that there are no structural closures in the levee system.
DELIVERABLES
• List of documents and data reviewed to be included in the reference section of project
documentation.
• List of additional data needs, as needed.
• Text documenting that there are no structural closures within the Ievee system.

City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
TASK 2. SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND FIELD DATA COLLECTION
SITE RECONNAISSANCE
Site reconnaissance wiII include both land and boat based work. Boat work will be done in late summer
low flow conditions. Upper bank reconnaissance will occur in late 2014 when leaf-off conditions are
reached and visibility in dense brush is better. Ideally this would also coincide with a Ievee mowing prior
to the reconnaissance work. The Ievee inspection will include observing and recording:
• Characterization of bank conditions including material and vegetation cover
• Evidence of bank erosion and seepage (e.g., sand boils, soil piping, or gullies)
• Evidence of settlement or instability (e.g., slides, slumps, and tension cracks)
• Evidence of burrowing rodent activity
• Ruts or ponded water along top of Ievee or other access roads
• Conditions at active or abandoned utility crossings
• Conditions where existing embankment is known to be substandard based on findings from the
Data Review Task
• Field checks of the operational condition for stormwater outfalls identified in the City's GIS
database of existing culverts ("Ievee penetrations").
Mowing required for inspection needs will be coordinated with the City. The City will indicate whether
mowing shall be accomplished with City crews or not. An allowance is included in the cost estimate for
contracted mowing. The City will be responsible for any trail closures, permits, and notifications
required for mowing activities.
After the field reconnaissance, documentation will be prepared summarizing the findings.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
A partial topographic survey will occur once existing as-built and topographic mapping are reviewed.
KPG will survey a new levee crest profile following the riverside top of the levee as well as up to twenty
cross sections, from riverward toe to Iandward toe. Other items for KPG to survey include horizontal
locations of piers and abutments at the upstream bridge face, vertical location of low bridge chord,
geotechnical boring locations, and marking stations at 100 to 200 foot spacing along the profile. Utility
crossing locations and culvert outfalls will be shown based on available GIS data rather than survey for
Phase 1. It is anticipated that NHC or AMEC will identify additional items that will require survey locates
to complete Phase 1. As the scope of these items is uncertain, an allowance of forty hours of survey
crew time and associated processing time has been allocated for these other items. NHC will
supplement the bathymetric survey it has already conducted in the reach by collecting additional data
focused along the left bank of the river using its jet boat and integrated GPS-depth sounder. Survey
needs for specific design needs (Phases 2 and 3) are not included in this task. This task assumes that
right of entry along the levee will be obtained by the City and that there will be no traffic control needs.
GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATIONS
An estimated additional eighteen borings are needed to provide data for completing analyses required
under 44 CFR 65.10. The boring locations will be selected based on the results of site reconnaissance.
AMEC will prepare an exploration plan describing proposed boring locations, to coordinate any trail
closures or vegetation clearing with the City. AMEC will direct the drilling and related lab testing.
Before drilling, AMEC will contact the One-Call Utility Notification Center to mark any underground
utilities at each exploration location, but additional assistance from the City might be needed to identify
all known underground utilities, based on available City maps. AMEC will also retain the services of a
private utility locating company for one day to check the proposed drilling locations for utilities not
Page 3 of 11 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work 9/30/14 Final
City ofTukwila Department of Public Works
marked by the One-CaII service. KPG wiH survey the Iocations of the borings and provide Northing,
Easting and elevation for each on the project datum.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Collect bathymetric data at Ievee toe for scour assessments. Conduct site reconnaissance.
Document any observed scour conditions.
AMEC: Conduct site reconnaissance jointly with NHC. Document existing levee conditions including
levee inspection observations noted in the bulleted list within the task description. Determine
Iocations for additional geotechnical borings and coordinate with City. Direct drilling and lab
testing.
KPG: Topographic survey.
City: Coordination, as needed, for trail closures and any permits and notifications required for
mowing activities prior to field reconnaissance. Provide available mapping of subsurface
structures and/or utility Iocations.
DELIVERABLES
• Notes from field reconnaissance.
• Survey data.
• Geotechnical exploration plan (results of drilling and testing provided under Task 5).
TASK 3. FREEBOARD ANALYSIS
CFR 65.10.b.1 requires at least three feet of freeboard above the 100-year flood for levee accreditation.
NHC will use the existing HEC-RAS model developed previously by NHC for the FEMA study to evaluate
river hydraulics including freeboard. NHC collected high water marks in the winter of 2014 and will
verify the model accuracy with these data. The HEC'RA5 model 100-year water surface will then be
compared to the Ievee survey (conducted during the Site Reconnaissance and Field Data Collection task)
to determine the amount offreeboard. Any identified settlement issues (from Task 6) will be taken into
account in evaluating freeboard.
If existing freeboard is insufficient, but greater than 2', a variance may be obtained. The variance must
be based on a risk based analysis approach addressing water level uncertainty. If needed, a risk analysis
will be conducted, based on prior NHC work conducted for the City of Kent, in a later phase of the
project. Any segments of levee not meeting 2' freeboard or reliability targets will be identified and
targeted for design and construction of modifications (and addressed in later phases of the project).
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Validate existing hydraulic model and evaluate freeboard. Identify any improvement needs and
certify freeboard requirements are met.
AMEC: No assignments under this task.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Documentation of the freeboard analysis and identification of any freeboard deficiencies.

City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
TASK 4. EMBANKMENT PROTECTION ANALYSIS
Certification is required to show the embankment surface will sufficiently protect the levee from scour
and erosion ([FR6SJU.b3). The adequacy of embarikment protection will be informed in part by the
Data Review and Site Reconnaissance and Field Data Collection tasks, as-built drawings, a boat-based
low flow survey in late summer to inspect the levee toe condition, and field visits. NHC will determine
bank velocities and bed scour potential along the Green River during the base 100-year flood using the
existing RAS model and information already developed by NHC during work for the City of Kent on their
levee system.
The existing levee system demonstrates that vegetation provides sufficient protection above the
ordinary high water (OHW) line. The design plans and Ievee inspections also indicate that there is a
layer ofriprap below accreted soil in many locations, providing an additional factor of safety.
Below the OHW, the native solis cannot resist erosive forces and must be protected. In addition to
surficial erosion, general, contraction, and bend scour can erode the levee toe. NHC will evaluate the
potential scour against the existing toe protection to determine if improvements are required.
Design and construction services for any embankment protection features will be conducted in a later
phase of the project.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Hydraulic modeling to determine velocities and scour. Evaluate adequacy of existing
embankment protection to resist scour and erosion. Identify any deficiencies.
AMEC: No assignments under this task.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Documentation of embankment protection evaluation to be incorporated into project report.
• Certification that Ievee meets embankment protection requirements or identification of
deficiencies.
TASK 5. EMBANKMENT AND FOUNDATION STABILITY ANALYSIS
For the embankment and foundation stability analysis, up to ten representative cross sections will be
established along the levee. Cross section survey data from the FEMA Flood Insurance Study and 2013
LiDAR will be used as a first cut in characterizing bank slopes for the geotechnical analysis. These
representative cross sections will be analyzed for siope stability using the Corps of Engineers Levee
Design Manual scenarios of end of construction, full pool, sudden drawdown, and earthquake loading.
Seepage potential and seismic stability will also be evaluated. NHC will develop hydrographs for
flooding duration and maximum drawdown rate. AMEC will then use these data, in combination with
the future scour potential determined by NHC in Task 4, for the stability analysis.
The analyses will leverage existing data to the greatest extent possible. As addressed in the Data Review
and Site Reconnaissance and Field Data Collection tasks, the previous borings and as-built information
will be reviewed, as well as subsequent survey and other documentation, and a site visit will occur to
confirm and document existing conditions including field checks of stormwater outfall operational
condition. The analyses will be supplemented by additional drilling and lab testing conducted under
Task 2.
Page 5 of 11 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work - 9/30/14 Final
City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
Initial stability and seepage analyses will be conducted to identify cross sections that are certifiable, arid
sections that are not certifiable. Design and construction services for any embankment and foundation
stability improvements will be conducted in a later phase of the project.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Develop and provide hydraulic data needed for the stability analysis.
AMEC: Conduct initial slope and seismic stability, and seepage potential analyses, using collected data.
Draft text summarizing analysis to be incorporated into project report. Certify Ievee stability is
sufficient or identify deficiencies. Provide recommendations for further studies for marginally
stable areas, if required.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Draft documentation on embankment and foundation stability analysis to be incorporated into
project report.
�
Certification that levee meets embankment and foundation stability protection requirements or
identified deficiencies.
TASK 6. SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS
The amount and distribution of settlement that has occurred since construction will be determined by
working with the survey data, coupled with existing and new boring and lab data (see Data Review and
Site Reconnaissance and Field Data Collection tasks). Both settlement due to long-term consolidation
and Iiquefaction will be evaluated. This will predict future settlement and where new fill might be
needed to obtain sufficient freeboard. The settlement analysis is required under CFR 65.1O.b.5 and
informs, in part, the freeboard assessment (Task 3).
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: No assignments under this task.
AMEC: Analyze settlement and prepare draft documentation to be incorporated into the project report.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Draft documentation on settlement analysis to be incorporated into project report.
TASK 7. INTERIOR DRAINAGE ANALYSIS
An interior drainage analysis (IDA) is necessary to evaluate flooding sources and potential ponding
stages on the landward side of the levee (CFR6S.1U.b.6). The Corps does not consider any of the pump
stations or stormwater system other than the outfalls to be part of the project, so data for this task will
come from City and County sources.
The same approach will be used that has been accepted by FEMA reviewers on four City of Kent levees.
An HSPF hydrologic model will be developed and used to simulate a long-term time series of local runoff
within the area protected by the Ievee. The major drainage components of the City's stormwater
system, and all stormwater pump and gravity drain outfalls to the Green River, will be determined from
City GIS databases and records. The stormwater system will be added to a modified version of the FIS
Page 6 of 11 Tukwila 205 Levee Certification Scope of Work - 9/30/14 Final
City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
HEC-RAS model and the model run for a 60 year period. From this Iong-term record, which accounts for
the joint probabilities of high river flows and high local runoff as required by FEMA, stage frequency
curves will be extracted to determine 100-year ponding elevations on the landward side of the levee and
these values compared to the effective FEMA elevations. If the IDA identifies 100-year flood hazards
that are higher than those identified by the FEMA study, then revisions will need to be made to the
effective FEMA maps in a later phase of the project and the results submitted to FEMA, potentially in
the form of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (addressed in Phase 4).
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC: Conduct interior drainage assessment.
AMEC: No assignments under this task.
KPG: No assignments under this task.
City: Provide pump station and drainage system information.
DELIVERABLES
• Documentation on interior drainage assessment to be incorporated into project report.
TASK 8. IMPROVEMENT NEEDS SUMMARY

required. AMEC will provide permitting support for any required capital projects if requested by the
City.
ASSIGNMENTS
NH[: Hydraulics support for permitting.
AMEC: Provide permitting support as needed for the project.
KPG: Civil design support for permitting.
City: No assignments under this task.
DELIVERABLES
• Permit submittal packages as required to meet environmental/permitting needs.
PHASE 4-CERTIFICATION SUBMITTAL
Once all deficiencies have been identified and corrected, the Tukwila Levee Certification report will be
prepared for submittal. The SOW for Phase 4 will be refined at the completion of Phase 1 and a cost
estimate prepared.
TASK 13. OPERATIONS PLANS AND CRITERIA DOCUMENTATION
An Operations and Maintenance (O&M) manual meeting FEMA requirements for the levee (CFR 65.10.c)
will be created, primarily by combining existing manuals. The basis of the manual will be the existing
Corps approved manual but will also adopt other recent policies and procedures, if appropriate, such as
those from the ongoing King County SWIF process (on which NHC is part of the consultant project team).
Additions may be necessary where other infrastructure, particularly bridge embankments, serve as part
of the levee system, but are not considered by the Corps as part of their project, and hence are not
addressed in the existing manual. The O&M manual must also address the stormwater system that
provides interior drainage for the City; therefore, all the City's pump stations will need to be addressed.
FEMA requires clear ownership of the Ievee system be demonstrated. As WSDOT owned 1-405 bridge
embankment is high ground and the downstream tie-in, an inter-jurisdictional agreement will need to
be made between the City and WSDOT. Kent and WSDOT have recently determined a method to
address the issue within the City of Kent and we expect the same process to be followed. This task will
be required to be led by the City but the consultant team will provide the technical materials needed.
ASSIGNMENTS
NH[: Prepare documentation, including references to existing manuals, to meet CFR 65.10.c
requirements.
AMEC: Assist with document preparation.
KPG: No assignments under this task.

City of Tukwila Department of Public Works
City: Assist with providing existing O&M manuals. Lead inter-jurisdictional agreement at downstream
tie-in to high ground.
DELIVERABLES
• Draft and final versions of O&M report.
�
Technical materials for inter-jurisdictional agreement at downstream tie-in.
TASK 14. REFINE ENGINEERING ANALYSES
Engineering analyses conducted in Phase 1 may need to be refined to reflect any constructed levee
improvements and demonstrate that the levee meets certification requirements. The project team will
revise the Phase 1 analyses, as needed, and update the documentation for the levee certification.
ASSIGNMENTS
NHC, AMEC, KPG: Revise Phase 1 engineering analyses, as needed.
DELIVERABLES
• Final documentation of engineering analyses.
TASK 15. PROJECT DOCUMENTATION SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW
Once all technical analyses are complete and any deficiencies addressed, a certification report package
will be prepared. NHC will take the Iead in preparing this document and combining reports, as-built
plans, and other files required. The certification document will be combined with some certifications
from the City related to the O&M manual into a final report and submitted to FEMA. The project team
will address review comments provided by FEMA.
Whether the project report is submitted as a CLOMR through STARR, FEMA's consultant, or directly
through local FEMA Region X for review will be determined during the project. NHC will engage FEMA
Region X early in the project to determine which of these paths is most likely.
ASSIGNMENTS
NH[: Prepare submittal package, to meet CFR 65.10.c requirements.
AMEC: Assist with document preparation.
KPG: Assist with document preparation.
City: Assist with document preparation, including providing required City signatures and formal
authorizations.
DELIVERABLES
• Draft project documentation.
• Final project documentation.

SCHEDULE.
A tentative schedule is shown below. Timing beyond Phase 1 will depend heavily on the number and
complexity of any Ievee certification deficiencies. Phase 1 work will begin immediately 50 that any Ievee
improvement needs are identified as soon as possible. The goal is that simple construction projects for
small improvements can be built quickly, with the larger, more complex projects for addressing
deficiencies built in the summer/eady fall of 2016. Once all improvements have been addressed,
documentation for certification will be prepared with a planned submittal to FEMA for their review at
the end of calendar year 2016.
