SUBJECT: 42nd Ave South /Allentown Roadside Barrier
Project No. 91310301
Project Update
ISSUE
Present an update for the 42nd Ave South /Allentown Roadside Barrier Project.
BACKGROUND
A project to study guardrail and /or barrier warrants along the Duwamish River adjacent to 42nd Ave South and
S 115th St in Allentown was funded as part of the Small Roadway & Safety Improvements in the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). The technical analysis is complete and the design phase is underway with the project
plans at approximately 30% complete. Please refer to the attached Project Status Report.
ANALYSIS
The goal of the study is to evaluate applicable design and safety standards, to identify recommended locations to
install new roadside barriers, and to identify any upgrades /modifications to existing guardrail and concrete barriers.
Based on Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and American Association of State Highway
and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards, several areas of the river bank along 42nd Ave S and S 115th St
are being recommended for guardrail and /or barrier installation. Construction will include the highest risk and
highest priority areas along the Duwamish River. A safety grant was submitted to WSDOT for construction funding
and grant awards are expected to be announced in mid - December 2014. The safety grant has requested funding
that would allow the City to install all recommended guardrails and /or barriers. If the City is not awarded the grant
funds, City funds will be used to construct the guardrail and barrier in phases over multiple years (subject to CIP
funding).
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated construction costs for all recommended guardrail and barrier installations is $299,970 based on the
calculations of the current 30% design. This includes a 10% contingency and with construction management at
15 %, the total project cost estimate is $344,465. Without grant funding, the 2015 construction budget is $70,000.
Additional City funds will be needed for the Small Roadway & Safety Improvements Program if the grant funds are
not awarded to the City. Construction costs could be spread over the next 6 years to minimize the impact to the
Residential Street Fund (103 Fund).

Project Status Report
To: Dave Sorensen, RE. — City of Tukwila
From: Nelson Davis - KPG
Date: 11/13/2014
Re: 42nd Ave S — Roadside Barrier Warrant Analysis
Project No: City # 91310301.1000.100 (KPG # 13093)
BACKGROUND:
The City of Tukwila intends to install roadside barrier along 42nd Avenue S and S 115th
Street in general accordance with the recommendations contained in the '42nd Avenue S —
Roadside Barrier Analysis' prepared by KPG (9/25/2013). The proposed improvements
include installation/replacement of approximately 2,400 linear feet of barrier along the west
side of 42nd Avenue S / south side of S 115th Street. The roadway is located adjacent to
the Duwamish River and the barrier will improve safety along this stretch of the roadway.
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
KPG has completed utility locates, survey, geotechnical review and prepared 30% Plans
and Construction Cost Estimate that is currently under review with the City. The Plans
generally match the recommendations included in the original Roadside Barrier Analysis
that combines the use of of anchored concrete barrier and WSDOT standard galvanized
beam guardrail on timber posts. In some locations, beam guardrail was recommended in
the original Barrier Analysis, but has been upgraded to anchored concrete barrier in the
current 30% design due to discovery of underground utilities. The underground utilities
would conflict with timber post installation and result in greater costs associated with utility
relocation and pavement repair compared with changing the type of barrier.
ESTIMATED COSTS AND ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The estimated construction cost at the 30% design level is $300,000 compared with a
preliminary estimate of $275,000 during the 2013 Barrier Analysis. The increased cost is
primarily due to the need for additional anchored concrete barrier in lieu of beam guardrail
due to underground utility conflicts.
As requested, we also reviewed alternate guardrail materials as follows:
• Use of weathering steel guardrail to replace galvanized beam guardrail would result
in a cost increase of approximately $30,000 over the current estimate.
• Use of steel backed timber guardrail to replace galvanized beam guardrail would
result in a cost increase of approximately $120,000 over the current estimate.
753 9' Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109 P: 206.286.1640 F: 206.286.1639 www.kpg.com 3
These estimates are for replacement of the beam guardrail portion of the project only,
which is approximately 50% of the proposed barrier. The remaining 50% of barrier would
remain as anchored concrete barrier due to either physical site conditions or conflicts with
subsurface utilities that would result from timber post installation.
SCHEDULE:
A grant application was submitted for construction funding through the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) in July, 2014. If the City is awarded grant funds, the intent
would be to construct all of the improvements under a single construction contract in 2015.
If the funding is not approved, the project will be split into phases to be completed over the
next few years in accordance with the current budget. Determination of grant funding is
scheduled for December 2014, at which time we will proceed with final design and
permitting of the improvements. A phasing strategy will be developed in the event that
grant funds are not available.
If grant funds are awarded to the City, additional environmental documentation will be
required to satisfy federal funding requirements; however, the goal is to complete the
permitting and design for construction in the summer/fall of 2015.

DATE: November 21, 2014
SUBJECT: Thorndvke Safe Routes to School Project
Project No. 91210302, Contract No. 13-160
Winter Project Shutdown
ISSUE
Report the winter shutdown of the Thorndyke Safe Routes to School Construction Project.
BACKGROUND
A call for bids was advertised on May 8 and 15, 2014 and three bids were opened on May 29,
2014. The lowest bidder was Road Construction Northwest, Inc. (RCNW) with a bid of
$1,136,256.00 and the contract was awarded on June 23, 2014. RCNW requested and was
granted a September 14, 2014 Notice to Proceed date due to their work load. While some
preliminary work and detour set-up was completed, construction did not start in earnest until
October 23, 2014, after which they diligently pursued the work.
DISCUSSION
RCNW finished all of the underground storm drainage and utility work by November 14, 2014. At
this point they hesitated to remove the existing pavement with the threat of November
rainstorms on a jobsite with such steep grades. A request for a winter shutdown was sent on
November 11, 2014 and after review by the City, was granted. Because of the late construction
start, the City will bear no costs associated with the project shutdown, site maintenance, or
resumption of construction in the Spring. The construction shutdown is expected to last from
November 14, 2014 to no earlier than March 1, 2014 and no later than April 1, 2014.
The City has required that RCNW maintain the construction zone and ensure that the site is in
satisfactory condition during the construction shutdown.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact as outlined in the attached Project Serial Letter 03.

SUBJ: Project Winter Shutdown Request
Gentlemen:
Per our conversations with City of Tukwila Senior Inspector Scott Moore this past week, Road
Construction Northwest Inc. (RCNW) concurs that demolishing and removing the existing
asphalt roadway; and exposing the subgrade to the weather elements this time of year would not
be in the best interest of the project. As we discussed at our weekly construction meeting last
Thursday, November 6th; after the curb & gutter is installed on the south side, we would need a
full week of dry weather to remove the existing pavement, excavate to subgrade, place crushed
rock and prepare for asphalt paving. We are getting to the time of year where it is very difficult
to get acceptable temperatures and dry weather conditions in order to schedule paving with
Lakeside Industries. Also they close their asphalt plants for annual maintenance this time of
year.
We believe that finishing the remaining storm drainage work and water services work this week
would be a good stopping point for a project winter shutdown; with minimal impacts to the
project and inconveniences to the local residents. We will hot -mix asphalt patch all roadway
trench crossings, install BMP erosion control devices, restore driveway access, remove signs &
traffic control devices and demobilize. RCNW will continue to monitor and maintain erosion
control devices, and will stay in contact with City Senior Inspector Scott Moore on any other
needs in the field.
RCNW requests that contract calendar days be suspended at the end of this week, Friday,
November 14th for contract work; and that we be allowed to work next week on HMA trench
patching, site restoration and preparation for winter shutdown as non - contract days.
8
We will stay in contact with KPG and the City of Tukwila to coordinate an appropriate restart
date next Spring 2015, upon which we will present a revised schedule to complete the balance of
the Contract Work. Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is appreciated. Should you
have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (425) 254-9999 x-22.
Very truly yours,

City Project No.: 91210302
Dear Gordon,
This letter is in response to RCNW's letter titled Project Winter Shutdown and dated November 11,
2014. In that letter RCNW requests a p ject suspension beginning 11/14/14 and ending in the Spring of
2015 due to unsuitable weather for the remaining work. After review, the City agrees to the suspension
proposal per 1-08.6 of the 2014 WSDOT standard specifications with the stipulations specified below.
RCNW shall bear all additional costs necessary to bring the site to a satisfactory condition suitable for
suspension as determined by the City. Additionally, all costs to demobilize, remobilize, maintain the
site's erosion control, maintain the site's roadway surfaces, and maintain the site's walking surfaces
shall be borne exclusively by RCNW. RCNW will remove all equipment from the site at a date no later
than 12/15/14. RCNW will visit the site and provide the Engineer with a brief written report cataloguing
the site's condition and documenting any maintenance performed at an interval not less than once per
week. Any increase in product or labor costs due to the suspension is the sole responsibility of RCNW.
The list above is not exclusive; in general, all costs associated with the suspension are the responsibility
of RCNW.
The project will be suspended from 11/14/14 to a date not earlier than 3/1/15 and not later than
4/1/15, depending on predicted weather and as determined by the Engineer.

Intersection Improvements at 42nd Ave S and S 160th St
ISSUE
Update on proposed improvements at the 42nd Ave S and S 160m St inteuaection, which is a
portion of the larger 42nd Ave S Phase Ill Project.
BACKGROUND
Since early 2012, the City has been working on the design of the combined 42nd Ave S Phase Ill
Project and the Gilliam Creek Culvert Replacement Pr ject. The design is between the 60% and
90% level of completeness. Consideration is still being given to modifying the design to include
undergrounding of the aerial utilities, which is not currently included. As the undergrounding
option is a possibility, construction of the combined p j8CtSvViUnOtOCCu[uOU|th83O1O
construction season to allow for additional design to be completed if necessary.
DISCUSSION
A request was made to present the p improvements at the southernmost intersection of
the p ject for discussion at the Transportation Committee. The p ject will widen the roadway
LO include sidewalks, buffer zones, and 14-foot wide travel lanes with painted bike sharrows.
ADA accessible ramps will be included in the new sidewalks which will vary between 7 and 8
feet wide on the west side and 6 feet wide on the east side throughout the length of the larger
project.
The 42nd Ave S Phase Ill Project's paving will extend into the S 160m St intarsection, which is
entirely located within SeaTac city limits. Walls will need to be constructed near the property
lines on the two adjacent parcels as there is significant grade difference between the roadway
and the private properties. A larger water meter owned by Water District No. 125 and the
existing utility poles will be relocated. Under the current design, a series of poles will need to be
installed to carry the weight of the lines as the ownership transfers from Seattle City Light to
Puget Sound Energy (power lines), as well as the Comcast and Century link communication
lines.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.

SUBJECT: Tukwila Urban Center — Transit Center and Andover Park West Widening
Puget Sound Energy — Facility Relocation Agreement, Contract No. 13-121
Change Order No. 3
ISSUE
Approve Change Order No. 3 for the Utility Relocation Agreement between the City and Puget
Sound Energy (PSE).
BACKGROUND
On July 2, 2013^ a Facility Relocation Agreement was executed between PSE and the City. This
agreement defined the roles and financial responsibilities for the relocation of two underground
vaults and two above-ground switches related to the Transit Center and Andover Park West
Widening construction p ject. The two underground vaults straddled the right-of-way (ROW)
line along the Southcenter Mall frontage; therefore, relocation costs to move the vaults out of
the ROW are shared by PSE and Tukwila. The two switches are on Westfield Southcenter Mall
property and are 100% the financial responsibility of the City.
A cost estimate of $738,400.00 was included as part of this Facility Relocation Agreement. One
underground vault (V10) and the two switches were then relocated by PSE in 2013. Change
Order Nos. 1 and 2 were generated as a result of the extra work to relocate V10 and the two
switches respectively. The two Change Orders were approved by City Council on February 18,
2014 for $75.914.80, bringing the total City responsibility to $814,314.80.
DISCUSSION
PSE has completed relocating the final remaining underground vault (V12) at the west Transit
Center bus pull-out lane. The relocation cost has exceeded the original cost estimate due to the
following:
• The dewatering cost for vault relocation was significantly higher than the cost included in
the original cost estimate.
• PSE's wire crew had to reroute unknown service cables in vault V12. These unknown
service cables were not documented in PSE's own record drawing; and the cable
rerouting cost was not anticipated in the original cost estimate.
• PSE's work crew had to extend their vault relocation work from two weeks (as estimated)
to four weeks due to limited access space as the City's contractor was simultaneously
constructing the walls at the west Transit Center.
• Extended traffic control and unanticipated pedestrian safety measure costs for the
additional two weeks.
• PSE was required to replace an existing utility vault lid with a new anti-skid lid and some
PSE manhole lids were also readjusted from existing locations to meet ADA requirements.

• The PSE vault relocation work was adjacent to the southbound travel lanes, resulting in
the need for additional shoring and steel plates to prevent subgrade sloughing to the
adjacent travel lanes.
• The original cost estimate in the Facility Relocation Agreement was based on the vault
being located within a landscaped area. It was discovered during construction that the
vault was partially under the roadway, necessitating the installation of a traf iC bearing lid
at additional cost. The bus pull-out was extended to avoid having the vault located directly
under the curb and gutter. This re-design altered the grades for the vault, causing it to be
installed deeper than originally proposed. The installation costs were increased due to
additional subgrade excavation and other physical conflicts.
• The original cost estimate in the Facility Relocation Agreement was based on 2012 PSE
labor rates. The labor costs were increased since the actual work took place in 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of the cost increase to relocate Vault V12 was $147,451.00, in which PSE is
responsible for 19%O[$28'O15.O9 and the City iS responsible for 81%O[$11S,435.31.The
Transit Center P ject construction contingency of $905,626.00 will be used to pay for PSE
Change Order No. 3. As of today, nine change orders for $84,887.92 were executed for the
Transit Center P ject and there is a remaining $820,738.08 in construction contingency that is
adequate to pay for PSE Change Order No. 3.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve PSE Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $119,435.31 to
Contract No. 13-121 for the Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center Utility Rg|ooation, and
consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the December 1, 2014 Regular Meeting.

II. Reports, Communications and Citizens Requests to Comment 16:00
Bill Peloza reported on the National League of Cities joint resolution on oil tankers, and said that
the resolution will be put before the NLC Board of Directors in November for adoption. Port of
Tacoma Commissioner Don Meyer reported on the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma's an alliance to
manage the marine cargo business of both ports and reported that the alliance will bring good
rates, efficiencies, good service to their customers and will allow the region to be competitive in
the global economy. Mr. Meyers said the Board can expect more detail on the alliance at
SCATBd's November meeting.
Chair Palmer asked for volunteers for the 2015 SCATBd Officers Nominating Committee.
Councilmembers Wayne Snoey, Linda Johnson and Dana Ralph volunteered for the committee.
The committee said that they will report back to the Board at their November meeting.
Chari Palmer reported on the RTC meeting and said King County Councilmember Rod
Dembowski participated in the RTC discussion on the Metro service reduction proposal. She said
routes were cut in order to put money in a number of Metro reserve funds for funding stability
19
over time. The members of the RTC discussed how much should in the reserve fund, and that
cities position was to maintain service first.
III. 2015 Transportation Legislation Discussion with Majority Floor Leader Senator Joe
Fain and Majority Leader Representative Pat Sullivan
The Board was briefed by Senator Fain and Representative Sullivan on possible 2015
transportation package. The Board asked for their advice on what SCATBd could do to help get
transportation legislation passed. Senator Fain and Representative Sullivan said there was
political will to pass a transportation package in 2015, and said if a package is not passed in 2015
they don't expect to see a package coming out of the Legislature in the near future. They both
said they would only support a balanced transportation package that includes funding to
complete major corridors such as SR 520, I -405, SR 167 and SR 509; they would not support a
"piece meal/maintenance" package. Local options and a distribution of funds to local
governments will be part of the discussion and will likely be a large part of any transportation
package. The discussion will also include a proposal to remove the levy cap on the property tax
icreases.
Senator Fain and Representative Sullivan said that a transportation package will rely on a gas tax
increase to fund the package. The gas tax increase needs to be more than 11 cents to cover the
mega projects, and that tolling and VMT revenues for transportation projects were at least 15 -20
years away. Any package will have some sort of "reforms" woven in, however, they said that
"reform" is an over -used word, and these will start being referred to as "outcomes ". They both
said that it is important to communicate the State's transportation needs to legislators and the
public and why passing a package is needed to support the State's economic development. They
also said that the whole state needs to move forward on a transportation package, and that it
would be a bad idea to regionalize a transportation vote.
IV. SCATBd 2015 Legislative Agenda

their 2014 SCATBd Legislative Message into 2015.
