I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Project Completion: East Marginal Way South Overlay and Repair
Staff is requesting Council approval of project completion and release of performance bond to
Miles Construction in the amount of $1,418,169.39 for the Overlay and Repair — East Marginal
Way South Project. The project was physically completed on July 14, 2014 and constructed
pavement repairs and an asphalt overlay including pavement markings, pedestrian safety
upgrades and storm water improvements. Cost savings in the amount of $312,051.93 were
largely due to paving technology and operation efficiencies. The City received $993,308.44 in
Federal grant funds. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 2, 2015 REGULAR
CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Project Completion: 2014 Overlay and Repair Program
Staff is requesting Council approval of project completion and release of the retainage bond to
Miles Construction in the amount of $978,020.75 for the 2014 Overlay and Repair Program.
This project provided hot mix asphalt paving at eight locations in the City and overlay of a
portion of the parking lot at Fort Dent Park as well as other street improvements. Construction
was completed on November 7, 2014, included two change orders, and realized cost savings of
$104,773.25. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MARCH 2, 2015 REGULAR
CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Proposed Budget Amendment: 53,d Avenue South (South 137th Street — South 144th Street)
Staff provided an overview of a revised funding plan for the design of projects associated with
53 d Avenue South. The City was unsuccessful in receiving grant funding in 2014 and the
Council gave direction to proceed with City funding for design in order to make the project
shovel ready and more attractive for grant funders. Revised CIP pages for the 53,d Avenue
South (South 137th — South 144th Street) Residential Street, Water, Sewer Rehabilitation, and
53,d Avenue South Surface Water Drainage System were included in the Committee packet,
and these changes will be presented for Council approval during the budget amendment
process that will occur in June 2015. Of particular note, recent investigation of the 531d Avenue
South sewer main revealed that full replacement is not required, and $7 million in the out years
has been removed in the revised CIP page. Staff is meeting with the Transportation
Improvement Board to further discuss and evaluate how to be more successful for grant
funding in the next cycle. INFORMATION ONLY.
Transportation Committee Minutes February 17, 2015 - Pape 2
D. Ordinance: Amending Tukwila Municipal Code Section 11.12.030 - Street Frontage
Improvements
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code
Section 11.12.030 to allow flexibility in the timing of developer payments for street frontage
improvements. The current code requires that developers install frontage improvements prior
to receiving a certificate of occupancy. It also authorizes the Public Works Director to allow the
developer to pay the City for the improvements in which case the payment must be made prior
to issuance of a building permit. The proposed ordinance would allow a developer to enter
into an agreement with the City regarding these payments, subject to the approval of the Public
Works Director, and to provide a bond or other security for this obligation. Staff believes there
are certain developments where it is unreasonable to require payment far in advance of when
the City is ready to begin street construction, and this code amendment will allow that flexibility
when appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 23, 2015
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
