I. PRESENTATIONS
11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Construction Contract: 2015 Annual Small Drainage Program — Longacres Way South
Staff is seeking Council approval to award a construction contract to Laser Underground and
Earthworks, Inc. in the amount of $55,441.00 for construction of the 2015 Annual Small Drainage
Program — Longacres Way South. WSDOT is performing overlay work on West Valley Highway
between South 180th Street and 1 -405, including some roadway grading and overlay on a portion
of Longacres Way South. The City was coordinating with WSDOT to install a drainage system
within that project's parameters, but because WSDOT is about two months ahead of schedule,
the drainage work has been broken out as a standalone project. Laser Underground and
Earthworks, Inc. was selected from eight proposals due to having the lowest cost and
demonstrated success with drainage projects. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
APRIL 20, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Resolution: Adopting the 2015 Comprehensive Water Plan
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution to adopt the 2015 Comprehensive Water Plan
and repeal Resolution 1834 that adopted the 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan. Following
Council adoption of the 2013 Comprehensive Water Plan in August 2014, the Washington State
Department of Health requested revisions concerning fire flows in the Crystal Springs and Ryan
Hill areas of the City. Carollo Engineers prepared these revisions and they were approved by
DOH on March 24, 2015. The Comprehensive Water Plan was updated to reflect the revisions
and was renamed with 2015 in the title. The Committee discussed long term potential issues for
the Water Fund including the reservoir, pipeline replacement, conservation, and fire flows.
Projects from Chapter 8 of the 2015 Comprehensive Water Plan were compared with the existing
2015 CIP projects. The following requests were made by the Committee during the discussion:
• Address Project P -9 (Table 8.2, South 152nd Place from End of Pipe to Sunwood
Boulevard) sooner in the Capital Improvement Program.
• A brief synopsis of the City's long term water strategies for use when addressing
questions from residents on water conservation and climate change.
• A table showing the revenues generated by each water customer category.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 20, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
